Nice cleaning!
It really needed a wash for sure 
Was the orange stuff remains of old balloons?

Yes Richard. And still 20 years old cells.

Sounds like mine, concrete balloon rubber and I still had the cells in the receiver from the 90's lol   You did a great job on the clean up Looks in super condition.

Thanks Lee. It is in very good condition. Better than my Lunch box. I only replace the rear train fixations. 1 was brocken. I only miss the ridiculous springs in these parts. I rechromed bumpers and upper lights and painted wind screen and rear lights. 
next step, the front lights. Original bubbles.

Some picts of the body. I have no idea of the paint number. So, I 'll keep the stigmats.

Tadaaa

Shiny and dry morning today. It was time to paint the pick-up. The result is nice same if I still see the top lines. I think about a roof rackto mask them.

a little higher and it would be like I wanted.

Looks great as a low rider van, love the red paint. Is there anything you can do with the arches being slightly off?  I was looking at my spare chassis the other day and thought the holes for the rear suspension and wishbones are there even if I don't put the platforms on. Would it be like a normal van instead of a monster truck.?? Is that what you have done for this one? 

I have some other rear mounts that fit the chassis, 2 like the lunchy but not as extended and 2 with approx 8mm indents, they were not slotted like the lunchbox and had a round hole instead.  I'm not sure what they are off but they fit the chassis where the gearbox bar goes in, I cut the eyelets off 2 rod ends and they fitted in the hole and made it so the bar stays in one place but can pivot.  How have you set up the gearbox to chassis?
