Thought you chaps might like to see this directly in this forum...hope you Enjoy it.
The Sand Rat is a Macnum Conversion, will be splash/waterproof and hopefully have an almost caricature look and feel of a sand scorcher, especially with the massive oversized tyres I will using on the rear.
I'm not doing anything too fancy with this as it's my first build report.
