Strip down completed and its not as bad as i thought, the rear lower swing arms are cracked at the hinge pin end and one of the front hubs has been glued together, the gears and bearings are very dirty but spin freely still (great tamiya quality back then) Ill be cleaning the parts in the next few days i suspect the rest of the car will clean up fine.
I've orded the new required parts including a titanium screw set, which will give me time to rebuild as much as possible, the only question is to either reuse the rose joints which work fine but look all pitted and refuse to polish up.All the aluminium parts including the shocks are looking dull, not sure if ill change or reuse.
So far the project is looking good, lets hope its not famous last words !!!

UPDATE, PARTS ARE NOW HERE APART FROM THE SCREEW SET, WILL START PUTTING ALL PARTS TOGETHER SOON
