Alright! It’s on! I just couldn’t keep my hands of that Gold Rush for long. I’ve been slamming away at it for a bit now, and I think it’s time to show what I’ve got done so far.

Like all MPCs, Gold Rush is a bit of a mixed bag; long on awesome, but short on the basics like fit and well-thought out engineering. You know how it goes, if you’ve ever built one!

Anyway, I have gotten a lot of preliminary work done on the body, flares and even done some custom exhaust work. Thank goodness for the reissue of Bad Company, too. I found a great use for some of its pieces, too! Check it out here:

Yeah Baby! This is turning into a classic build mate, I love it! Super work on the flares and spoiler mods, and the exhaust is genius.

Can't wait for the next instalment.

Cheers, D

Thanks Damian!

I love doing exhaust stuff on vans; the traditional stock exhaust is just so... blech.

The flares look good, but man, they do need some work!
