Thanks Mad-Bee for the welcome.
Great beach and action shots of yours as well.
The S.R feels really solid and I think you are right it does deserve more credit.

Thanks for the comments guys. Its a real 80's shape, boxy and square. I'll have a good look at the wheels and see if I can work out what they are. I will add the right vintage bumper some time soon! I will have to brave some external shots soon won't I??

I think Legend is right on the button!
I'll check those showroom models and grab some ideas. I was thinking of putting a pair of Tamiya sport tuned motors in there.
Rallyebaz is right about the Yellow it does look very funky. This is definitely one to enjoy, I've got a feeling this one will be a keeper. The resto should be quite easy for me...famous last words.

Another ebay gem arrives

Very telling the 'Joker' sticker on the side of it!
It looks like a fair bit of work just to get it back to shell to then paint it. Any ideas on colour schemes?

I've found a Vintage bumper to complete the look now, so it is probably just period wheels to finish it off.
