Well here we go with my first ever resto!
I'm not keeping it standard,I plan on modifying it with upgraded motor and running gear.
As for the theme,I'm going to use the head from the Holiday Buggy re release and go for a White Sheriffs dept Buggy,from Nevada or similar,with an led Police roof bar.(well thats the plan anyway!)

This is how it stands at the moment,the strip down and the repair to the tub.
I have some v thin Carbon fibre sheet,which I will be using on the inside,to re-in force the weak point.As I say,not to fussed about it being a mint shelf queen.I just want to use it and have some fun with my kids.
Cheers Daz









Sorry about the Camera phone pics.I will be using my proper camera as the build progresses.

Keep up the posts, I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses.

Wild Ones are one of my (many) favourites!

Cheers
Just ordered my new shell and driver from the States,thanks to THE H.P.FREAK.
Having problems trying to find a suitable head though.
Cleaned most of the parts and have ordered some new Wild One front wheels,to replace the knackered FAV ones that were fitted.
More pics soon.

Have you posted a wanted ad for a driver head?
Maybe post one on TamiyaClub if you have no luck here. (Sorry Lars , but you're a TC member too! )

No problem
I'll have a look at home myself. I believe I have two Wild ones, possibly both "with heads"

Thanks
Torn between the police theme and the full on Dakar look,as I have ordered a wing for it
Next up,is to reinforce the tub,with the .85 mm Carbon sheet.

I've had a look now, and can't find a spare WO head, sorry.
There is a guy on TC that did repro's of them, I think.

Thanks Lars.
I'll pop over and ask.
