53HRA Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hrllo guys Well ive been after a Vintage 3 speed Tamiya since i first got into RC!! :lol: and now ive finally managed to get hold of one Here are some pics: Front lockable hubs/diffs: Vintage and modern 3 speed brothers! As you can see it looks rather tired in places Im planning to strip it down to the last screw and rebuild back.Same goes for the shell - strip it down and apply box art I will update this thread as i start restoring it. What do you think guys? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perruzo Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Glad you got one at last mate! Nearly as expensive as the baja for parts though.. i see what you meant about the shell looking 70's style its a sorta hippy ute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
