Default Project 1.9 FJ: The Rebirth
Okay so this is a first for me....I bought back one of the first OG rigs I had made when I got into the hobby. Glad to have her home.

OG thread:
http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/newre...te=1&p=3937455

Wish I took pics when I got her back but here she is all sandblasted. Thanks to the previous owner. I hate stripping chassis paint down. I wish I had a media blaster.

Thanks bud, Im excited. This is one of those times where I didnt have as much experience and I was afraid to take the rig where my vision was. The doors were the first step...I will do a little this evening and post some progress.
