Well lets get started! At first i wanted to go and polish all the beautiful metal parts the RR has, but i later decided not too.
Afterall a car 34 years old and called Rough Rider couldn't look as bling bling as i thought

Hi Bram,

Nice work on your RR !
Well i polished some metal parts on mine...so it might look a bit bling bling ha ha ha ha

Why are you not replacing the bronze bushings with ballbearings?

I replaced them on mine even if i know that my RR won't be driven around This sounds a bit stupid to put ballbearings if it's not be driven, but it's more a personal "hop-up" i like, specially if it does not alter the outside and vintage look.

Well i used the bronze bushings because the manual says so
As i like to build the cars box art i also build them according to the manual exactly.

Cheers, Bram

I like to keep mine with their original bushings too, if the car isn't going to be used, especially if I plan to sell it at some point.

If it's gonna get a pasting though, then yeah, ballraces throughout!

Good evening,

Did some work on the chassis and wheels today








TY for looking

Cheers, Bram

Finally found some time again to work on the RR.
Used 2 original lights from my other RR.

Radio box



And used 2 re re ones.

Result so far

Cheers, Bram

Good evening,

Found some time to finish off this project.
Repaired and repainted the roof and used some rere headlights with original decals i had left over from my Sand Scorcher.














Ty for looking,

onwards with the Countach

Cheers, Bram

Mmmm, that looks nice.
The orange color looks very orange (almost fluorescent), or is that only on the pictures?

Thats a lovely looking car i like the colour scheme a lot and a brilliant resto that has kept the character of it well

The radio box looks great - Is that the original one repaired? I'd like to see some pictures of how you did that,
