Talking NBU Turbo Optima Celebration Restoration

Well guys and gals, I was super lucky to get what I call an NBU Turbo Optima Celebration, which stands for; Never Been Used.
As some of you know I was looking for a Turbo Optima for quite some time and ended up buying two before this one. Those two have parts missing, are all scratched, wrong parts, etc.

Well lucky me, this one is not only complete, and is not only new, but it is also celebration and without even the slightest mark or scratch!!!

The buggy does need wheels and tires, the correct bumper, new deck, a new body with decals, correct MSC with resistors and the Le Mans 240S motor, which since is a Celebration chassi I might keep a very good condition 240SB and install on it since is also goldy look.

Anyways less writting, here are some pics:

Default NBU Turbo Optima Celebration

More pics:

The buggy has universals all around, I do have a pair of Option House gold universlas which are going to the front. It is also equipped with a rare one way front differential and is belt driven.
These pics shows the side guards "modified" for 8.4v battery pack, fortunately I do have a pair of new side guards for the project.
