Default Ford ranger micro build

Well my micro's hasnt turn up yet and I am getting a bit towie to start, So I pickup a ford ranger rc very cheap and have started one of my micro builds....
Here is the toy I got


Stole the lid and gave the rest to my kids to distroy heheehe

I then cut off the tub as this will be a micro ranger truggy......

Then I have cut the front bar off for wheel clearance and of course some bar work ...

I am just filling in the rear beaver panel and hope to have the micro's here soon to keep on building

Well I had a bit of time this arvo, I couldn't help myself and made the front bar.......




I am happy how it fits around the headlights and grille and will make the mounts when the chassic is done . I will maybe start some skidders next .....
Cheers

Still tinkering ........ Started on the rear bar work ... I ran out of oxy and it got a bit messy but will clean up allright when I sand blast it .....Still have a few bars to add but will wait for wheel clearances and chassic etc .Would be really good to get the rig here to get it finished ..... This one is for my boys to share and they are getting very excited about it also
I will be running a spare wheel on the back cross bar seen..
