Awesome feedback. @ dirt-540, the rear sus works well and is set up to sit flat when running. @ BeetleOne, DennisM and Cooltoys. All the work was done in my dads shed. The chassis/radio plates were cut by hand and formed in a vice so too the roll bars. A BIG THANKS

Great detailing, the mud flaps insignia are the best!

I never thought i would own one of these mip4*400

Hi Eleck_Rider and Spike, the transmission is very notchy but I think it is ok, the front shocks have been replaced and the rear end given a wheel alignment, It is looking much better.
It now has a twin, built from the pile of spares, complete with carbon fibre chassis copied off this one

Ongoing resto.

Hi gozone, your Champ looks like a great find! Thought that you may like to know that the dried up balloons is 100% accurate, think they were factory supplied weather proofing. I remember mine having them too.

Looks great at speed! The rear bumpers on the Super Champ were fragile, hope the new version is better

Thank you guys, Overall I am happy with the results. I will try some matt on the back Crash Cramer. Bit of a rush on the rear tyres mongoose1983, thanks. Cheers Grumpy pants. MAD-BEE, yes XR311 are a tight squeeze and it does change the profile of the tyre from rounded to squared off. You have to use an extra 8mm x 5mm × 2.5mm lipped bearing on the inside for clearance and a new nyloc nut on backwards to lock on front wheels. Might be getting a few stickers yet. Thank you all!

Great photo's I've always wanted to see the MB Unimog close to the buggy champ. To see how it would look as a tow vehicle. All 3 look great.

Looks like a great project, I may have some new front tyres that will fit in my trade section, not asking much!

MIP super rare! The screws on the UNIs are very soft normally and break on removal, go easy and save for a shelf queen. Awesome find!

Hi emspjay Yes The Blazing Blazer was based on these race trucks, I believe there were 2 built. One was a single seater and the other a 2 seater.

Restored super champ

Hi Crash and Mongoose I was inspired after seeing Mongoose1983s Rough Rider, looking so cool, finally put my Super Champ up. You are on the money with the blacked out roll bar, it will complete the look. The band stops have been damaged / stretched to use. Thanks for all the comments Guys!!!
