Can’t wait to drive and photograph this in the summer on the beach and in the dunes. This is going to be a careful runner when sunny days finally arrive. I have a nice surplus set of new rear wheels with new pin-spike (Hornet) tyres, for when its used on terra firma other than sand. Have managed to fix the broken spotlight fixture on the left hand side, aesthetically it isn’t brilliant but its solid and it holds the spot in the right place.




Here’s a quick list of work done. Stripped, cleaned and greased, fixed spotlight fixture, fitted all new electrics including a Sport Tuned motor, waterproofed electrics, netted windows, grilled rear roll cage, put an un-needed resistor in to obscure the gap and add realism, painted and decal driver, attached aerial to what I think is a better position, painted letters on both sides of tyres, changed wheel screws for allen key bolts, painted wheel nuts white, put custom cad-cut sticker (Show me the sand!) on rear and finally made and fitted custom twin exhausts for that retro buggy look.

That is one fine looking Grasshopper, I like the little details that make it stand out from just a box art build. Nice work!
