The only parts I had a hard time finding was the finder flairs and the steering wheel. Never got the Wheel...
Also, finding a un-broke missile box is a blessing. Oh yeah, and the damn wiper...

Absolutely restore it! It's not that hard and it will be worth it. I'm a big fan of restoring vehicles. I've posted this a few times already, but here is a tutorial I did on a Skystriker and MOBAT restoration detailing my method. Hope it helps.

>>>>>>>> I think i will ,it's not about the "money" it's a labour of love for something you enjoy ,the toy use to belong to my brother and so it has been in the family for 23 years ,so i think of it as a family heirloom . |

The toothbrush won't scratch the plastic. They're soft enough for teeth, so plastic isn't a problem either. I've used this many, many times. Toothpaste is much better than soap especially if it has a whitener. As far as stickers go, the only ones I've had come off, were the ones that were partially off to begin with.

DO IT!!!! I restored a snow cat years ago. I found the body with only the wheels window in a apt i was rentoventing along with a night raven conquest hiss tanks figures galore. All restored. I found my parts on ebay and trade shows. I washed it in the tub with whiting tooth paste and a tooth brush. Oh and it had no stickers on it. I got them at cobrastickers.com. I do not have any parts left over. Sorry. But im sure you can tell i love the snow cat. LOL
Here is the one i restored.
