Ok my Dad brought the car over yesterday and I've given it a bit of a dust off and taken a few pics. First up a quick pic of the car:



Front end:





The front diff is MMS:



I'm almost 100% that the rear diff is also MMS as I remember seeing it in pieces but I wasn't sure what the layshaft was so I dropped the rear shock and removed one of the alloy layshaft bearing housings (both layshaft housings are alloy):



It does appear to have had quite a few upgrades, the front wishbones, top links and hubs are newer but it still has the classic one-way bearing roller driveshafts on the front. The rear has the newer driveshafts and hubs but I'm not that familiar with CAT's so I don't know if the wishbones are different.

Most of the rear gearbox appears to have been upgraded with black anodised side plates, an MMS heatsink on the top and alloy rear shock mount (with heatsink) and anodised alloy motor housing (again with heatsink). I think the slipper is also MMS and the spur is 122tooth 64DP. The rear diff eccentric bearing housings are also alloy:





I replaced the front o-rings with some that my Dad found in a fresh packet. The undertray and body have some scuffs and a bit of cracking in places. The wing wire and button mounts are missing but there is a wing!

Also currently included are some period electrics: Tekin 700 speedo, brushed Parma motor and Futaba 6148 servo (at least that's what I think they are from what I can see of the labels).

Here's a full gallery of pics:

If anyone can give me a closer valuation based on the pics that would be awesome. Cheers
