Rebuild threads?
I’ve had a quick search but can only find a couple of rebuild threads.
I understand people buy part built kits and finish them but the chassis etc are generally in as new condition.
I was wondering if many people had purchased cheap or tatty locosts and rebuilt them to a good/acceptable standard?
I would be interested in seeing those.

I bought a part complete Luego Velocity that had been sitting under a tarp outside for a year or so. That was not in a great condition when I started
stripping it back.
I completely stripped it back and had all the chassis and wishbones blasted and re-powdercoated. I have plenty of photos but I think I have only put a
few up on here.
It is not finished yet but I am trying to do it to a decent standard with standard parts (Silvertop Zetec, Sierra/Granada running gear etc).

I bought a rubbish old kit car and spent many hours making it worse. But that's just how I do things....

Mine wasn't great, and those who have seen it would probably say it still isn't
