May I introduce you to the Optima Gold (Celebration limited edition) + many option house parts
Built with 100% NEW parts! The only thing I need to do is painting the bodyshell. Not my favorite thing to do so......:mad:

Stunning mate!

So how long did it take you to source all those nice shiny new parts then?

NICE, saw a new built one on ebay a few weeks ago, sooo tempted but ££££:woot:

4 or 5 months and I had all the necessary parts.
Finding the parts was the easiest part!:bored: The hardest part was convincing my wife to spend 1000€ on parts for a car that will stay in a plastic box forever and never will run.......;)

Guys thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated!!!
Let's continue.......The Optima Mid was my last restoration.
This car is restored with many new parts.

FYI: Fitting the decals on the bodyshell costed me 4 hours of work! The decals from Marwan were NOT a direct fit.:thumbdown::mad::mad::mad:

TBH I still have my original decals for the body and these are the same as Marwan (give or take a mm). The sizes are off from the box artwork, the only issue I have is a missing red Kyosho and the fact the Marwan's don't like sticking to curves.

must say...great work though!

WOW what a collection, please say your just teasing us and thats mirrors either side of the stack of mids and not more minters :drool::drool::drool::drool:
