Recently scored an Associated MGT 4.6 SE in a trade. It needs some work, but I plan to turn this into one wicked rig :D

Here's the start.

Ok getting somewhere now. Got the old chassis stripped, and am working on putting things back together on the new one.

F/R diffs filled with 7k fluid, shocks rebuilt with 40 wt oil, replaced a few bearings here and there, and got the base of the truck back together.
