Yokomo 870c rags to riches

[DanB4]

Hi Guys!

Around 1 year ago I bought an Optima Mid Custom for restore (pics somewhere on here) and it came with a very shabby looking Yokomo 870c chassis which in all honesty was wrecked but came with a nice vintage Parma Cyclone motor so I took it.

On arrival, yep, it was a wreck and still needs a lot of work but a mate of mine (Gingapaint) painted up a body/tray/wing for me in Masami style and I bolted some JC pink wheels on it and I'm in love!

I have some Associated team car shocks to fit and may buy some Fibrelyte shock towers and top deck (it has a metal?? top deck fitted)....the main thing I need is a front bumper, I know these are hard to find but if you have one in any condition please get in touch.

Thanks, hope you like it - far from finished but I'll post an update soon

Another fantastic restoration from you Dan. The endless hours you spend trawling the web for parts has paid off again.

Think i have a few left mate, not sanded or drilled though, just pre shaped. It'll be shorter than the 870c as they were cut for the 94, but i drilled one for a 91 fitment, and it works fine, leave it with me, fighting a chest infection so not feeling the mood to hunt them out, but ill get on it soon! Check out my 91 thread mate, think i posted pics of this cut fitted to my 91!
