So, the backstory of this replica. This ICS comes via viavia from the, believe it or not, landfill. Then it looked very different, with a disgusting paint job that urgently needed to get rid of. The wiring was also a nightmare, so it was soldered as good and bad as possible.
The outside of the replica has been treated with paint stripper (except the grip) and sandpaper where possible. Then I painted it black again and made some details gold (for the vibe).
The gearbox has been shimmed and it has a guarder 407mm precision barrel. In addition, he has a deans connection.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with how I managed to save him, but there are some indelible traces of how he was mistreated.
