A few pictures without the body
As you can see, this restoration will be really easy, as almost nothing is broken. The rear bumper isn't even broken, which is quite surprising. The front wheels are not original and will be replaced by the original ones... The typical Super Champ MSC is even there The bodywork is in superb condition, with only a few tiny scratches visible. I'm tempted to leave it as it is, or simply apply a few coats of clear lacquer. Proud owner of the Bruiser Family

I started looking for front and rear wheels, as the original ones were painted grey. I made an attempt to remove the paint, but apparently the paint is holding up well.
So I found a set of complete new vintage rims. For the tires, however, I turned to re-re because I couldn't find any vintage ones. So I started dismantling and cleaning. As I wasn't satisfied with cleaning the metal parts, I sandblasted them. The result exceeded all my expectations. Here the parts before sandblasting : After sandblasting In the meantime I've started to dismantle and clean the MSC Proud owner of the Bruiser Family

Started lettering the new tires i got
As I said, the new tires and rims are re-re because I couldn't find the original ones. I'll see if one day I'll replace them with vintage ones. The bodywork is in great condition and, frankly, I don't think it needs to be redone. I just hesitate to apply one or two coats of lacquer... For now, here it is Thanks for looking Proud owner of the Bruiser Family
