Evolving Drift - Initial D Restoration/Conversion

[Chihiro]

Maybe get some new feet prob easier not a fan of these myself after catching a bare toe on one ouch!

But you should defiantly sell the cab once its done "again"

I've still got the receipt from the ID twin when I got it from Tom & Tandy, £700.

Chihiro, I'm a huge collector and I'm looking to complete my Initial D (1) artwork cabinet. If you are interested in exchange some material, I can offer some artwork that your cabinets haven't.
Example:

Original "Initial D Topper" ( 頭文字D（イニシャル・ディー） Hepburn: Inisharu Dī?) artwork in foam core board (photo 1).

Other example:

I have more!

I need Marquee and Marquee sides for to complete all my set.

I have all small stickers of Sega Cabinets, of course!


Example:



Tell me!


Cheers!

I sold some of the parts from one half of this over 10 years ago to the guy who started this thread & converted the other half into OR2.
The above photo is from then.

PLANS FOR THE WEEK:
So this week we are:
Dropping some of the remain Black Semi-Gloss parts off to be either shot blasted/acid dipped and then powder coated. The pictures below is what I sent to the company so will put them here for reference.
View attachment 2654

Find out the size c-clips I need for the leg levellers feet, but replacements.

GOT: Base powder coated, NOS casters, replacement locknuts and bolts.

UPDATE...
All 9 parts have been taken to the powder-coaters (should be 2 weeks), hopefully they understood what SEMI BLACK is.

we have one leg leveller in a jar full of vinegar, give this a week of shaking and see how it cleans up!!


Also bought an assortment of Circlips so we should be covered as can't find any guide to actual size. Will post sizing when compared.
