Hey, I will probably start this project very soon as my GR-75 isn't looking to happy by itself on my desk. Ecmo, since you have this pretty much thought through, are there any major things i should note before starting to bricklink the parts? Also over viewing some of these models for the past few months, i think that 59349 could be a great substitute for the trans clear quarter cylinders as they are much more on the market. Im also debating on new or used parts, i feel that i will end up getting some, but i hope they aren't in terrible condition.
