Out Run Deluxe Restoration

[drawfull]

I have had this cab for a good while now and it is in very bad shape. However, a few weeks ago I decided to make a start on bringing her up to speed.

This is what I started with:







I began by trying to restore the fibreglass parts myself and managed to get the primer to stick quite well to what was frankly a crappy surface. However, when I began putting the top coats on it was a mess. I sanded it back down and tried again but kept getting the same results, so I took all the fibreglass parts to my local car repair place. They came back yesterday:









That's pretty much where it's at. There are three of us working on it tomorrow, and I hope to get it almost finished. I pretty much have all the parts I need.. and these came today from videogameparts.com:







I have a couple of wheel emblems too, and the DHL box in some of the pics is a new multisync for it.

Will post more over the weekend

That is looking really sweet man! Great work on that paint job!

Good call on the car repair place, they came back looking great. It's a nice thing the game still works, so most of the effort will be in the physical aesthetics. What are you planning for the base? Looks like you're missing a panel cover. I've seen people restore and paint the bases black instead of the grey. Also, some folks like to cover the top with those rubber grip-mats.

How are the controls? I'm assuming they'll probably need a bit of love.

Also, nice looking Computer Space! Does it work?

I'd like to see how this restore pans out.
