OT-90 Update

Just got done the restoration project and thought I would update the site. I went out and bought a powerful pressure blaster, and then had to upgrade my air tank cause the old craftsman was not going to cut it. Got the new air compressor in and it runs on 220, not a big deal until you realize my house is solar powered, so that's not gonna work, so we wired it directly into my generator trailer and it worked great! 1 full ton of sand blasting material later and we had it down to metal and primed to paint.

First coat of paint came out shinny on some panels but after we scuffed it up and repainted it, the results were great! More pics to follow!

Looks like we both have a painting weekend planned ..... you just finished up the OT-90 now on to the wrecker and trailer and I am working on the inside of the S250 this weekend.

I hate to do this, but I just listed my OT-90 up for sale on EBAY, http://www.ebay.com/itm/222543408736?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649.
It makes me sad but I need to get caught up on some taxes and toys go before anything else. I hope she goes to a good home!

Commiserations mate!! I had to part with mine in March last year and to this day I miss it like ****. Like you I had bills to pay and I know I had no choice - but to this day I regret parting with it!!

Sad to hear that. I just drove Augdog64s BPzV today with a couple friends who had never ridden in armor before. They had a great time and I got a bit reacquainted with the wonderful roaring speedster.

Was there any concern for sand getting into places you wouldn't want it to such as the road wheel hub bearings?

Selling my OT-90, 50k- a steal, starts up and runs great, been sandblasted and repainted, a few minor scratches but a steal at that price! I need to build a garage and the women told me to sell some toys...…..

Think carefully before parting with it - I've regretted bitterly selling mine from the day I sold it!! If I could turn the clock back and reverse the decision - I would!!
