Default Another 94 YZ10 restore.

Picked this up the other week in trade for my rather epic '92 Works. She started out as a bit of a scruff bag/cupboard fodder, but with very minimal use, so the rebuild has been fun, bit of polishing here and there, but all drivetrain parts are superb, not like my last pig i purchased haha.
Its going together quite nicely now, I set out to rebuild it without dipping into all my spares, so thus far I've just added a few screws, new thrust balls, and some NIP Yokomo E clips, I'm even managing to keep pretty much all screws OE this time.
I could have gone all out and shelf queened it with NIP parts, but save for the odd nick here and there on the arms, I'm not even sure ill keep this one, having decided to race my original car.
A new Hansell top deck will be on the way soon, and I've bagged some NIP Ti turnbuckles too, its getting pretty now, more to come soon!

bests.......lee

Hah, thanks Dan, yes this ol' girl has seen some air miles. Always wonder about a cars history when I'm restoring. This one is funny, the front holes in the top deck, have shattered, and there is a rough home brew repair done a lot time ago, with a bit of badly cut F/G, yet the rest of the car, shows ZERO sign of an impact to cause this, so it always makes me wonder what these crazy kids were doing haha, its just, i don't know, these are other people memories stored up in a load of carbon and alloy, ah I'm just getting sentimental lol!
