Mine was not as good,it was scratched,bumpers were broken,windshield had turned yellow, so i stripped it and repainted it using decals from the decal box

To replace the yellowed windshield i vacformed a new one using the old one as a mould.One thing leads to another,i 3dprinted a new chassis.Gears and guide were also 3d printed in resin,motor pod in PETG

Looking for rims i found that the best compromise was the original rims and tyres.So i copied the originals, 3d printed rims in PETG ,inserts in resin and cast urethane tyres, [Image: img20220104122501_00-copy-jpg.291542]
