IN HIS PRIME ONCE AGAIN!

 A few weeks back I treated myself to an original 1984 Optimus Prime. A classic of its kind, it was incomplete but cheap as prime cut chips.

It was missing its two schrome exhausts and a semi-circular corner of the cab rear was missing.


Also the front chrome fender had both ends missing.


To spruce it up I snipped off two exhausts from an old rig in Junior's scrappers box [he won't mind!]


I repaired them, chromed them, made two small fender tips and chromed them too, re-chromed all silvered parts and stuck down dog-eared decals.


The finished results. Hope you like them.
