Definitively going to restore it. I'll buy a repro body and give it a nice paint job.
Not sure though whether I will make it pure shelf queen or will try to make it a runner as well.
As you can likely see from the picture with the body off, its missing the motor mount and the whole center assembly. So to get it into running shape might take a bit. I don't have the instructions so I am not sure exactly what I am missing.
I know that there should also be a top brace as well. The box has two belt tensioners.
All the shocks are present and in fact there are two extra (could be Associated/Kyosho from the same period).
So I will start cleaning it up regardless of how far I take it in the end. If anyone has any knowledge of what is missing in the middle, and suggestions of where to get needed parts, that would be handy. I can check ebay etc too.
It would be really fun to get it into running order - even if to take it on "Sunday drives."
Oh, for those who are not quite as old as I, this is an original YZ 10.
