VDC GORILLA - Raced by Charlie Reynolds BITD
« on: April 02, 2008, 09:24 PM »
I had had Charlie Reynolds old VDC Gorilla for a couple of years now. Lots of thoughts how to do it but never done anything with it.

But the other week i started bolting things together. Its pretty much 'rat look' at the moment and by no means finshed but I thought you kids out there would like to see it. Some of you will have already seen it at Hartlepool the other week, the newschoolers didnt quite know what to make of it! But the older kids where loving it! haha

Very nice, I don't really remember knowing anyone who had one of these bitd but always thought they looked quirky and kinda cool  :daumenhoch:

I dont really know! I have offerd quite a few different parts to it and basically I think they all look wrong! I know its just me but they just look wrong in my eyes! Thats probably why I have had it for so long without doing anything with it!
