I have recently been restoring a Tottenham car for a guy called Robert Crowe who raced there at the age of 18. He kept the car he made all these years and in 2014 asked me to restore the chassis and make it back into a full car again. Here are some pictures of the restoration.

Beautiful restoration job, Richy! Just this morning, I was looking at a group of Lucky 7 Slot Racing photos on Facebook, but at the time I didn't know where they originated. I now do, thanks!  :)

Thanks, guys, this was my first restoration and spent a lot of time researching articles and builds. I basically stripped the car back to brass and piano wire as most of it was bent and twisted.

 

My passion is motor building but now my new passion is restoring unloved slot cars and bringing them back to life. I am now looking forward to my next build :-)
