I found these pics in the loft/attic sorry about the poor quality, I was only 11, in 1981, no digital cameras back then. I loved this car it started as a scorcher but transformed in to many different cars. Back then you could get mod ideas from the monthly mags. But look at some of the crazy ideas they gave me that I did to this car. Elastic bands to upgrade suspension, how funny is that, and my nobbly tyres made from normal rider rears. I hope they bring some good memories for any of you who had them at the begining.

The postman actually, he always used to leave elastic bands down our road.. I was thinking they might catch on... What you can't see are the parker pen spring on the rear shocks.... I did like my knobbly front tyres. Might do that again on my buggy champ once its built..
