And now to sort the shocks out. I've done away with the non-matching front silver shock bodies that were on the car and replaced with the bronze coloured. Not sure what colour came with the car, seen a lot of Kinwald editions with silver shocks, yet on Losi's site they look like the bronzy ones.

Also replaced the plastic shock adjusters with some later losi aluminium ones. Replaced springs with original kit springs.

I keep trying to find some good hi-res pics of an original kinwald edition built to the box art, but none seem to exist! If anyone knows of one, please let me know.

So here I have started rebuilding the shocks... one kept leaking so I have inspected it closer...



And a circlip had sprung off and jammed into the shock cartridge...



Here's the shocks cleaned up and ready to fill with oil and reassemble.



And all ready to be fitted...
