Default Cat xls

Purchased this cat xls this week.
In need of an overhaul as it was pretty rotten. Complete with mud and grass from the 80's!
She was an ex team car so does have some nice goodies fitted.

Ive stripped it down already, and everything has had an intensive clean ready to start rebuilding

The dirt you get for free.

Looks like a solid base for a succesful restore job.

They do feel really great to drive, light and quite agile compared to the Procat. The only thing that reall need changing on the xls is the dam wing wire, it never goes back into the same shape after the rolling

It'll still bend lol, Gainsy has a good idea for his and I'll let him tell that. I run cat SX3 ones on my Procat and may get some for the xls too or use the same as Gainsy's

It is indeed the one dms had, although i didnt pay as much as £150 for it
In fact those pics are dms pics from the advert, you can see their glass cabinets in the photo.

Parts aren't that hard to find you just need to know where to look
