Hello everyone, I just signed up here a few days ago. Been looking over all the interesting posts. Anyhow I'm a newbie and here's I got started in a nutshell:
A couple weeks ago my fiance and I ran across a yardsale.In the back of the garage was a working Guerrilla War game. Dirty but it plays just fine. Price sticker on the marquee was 150 bucks. I thought nah, loved the game, remembered playing it and would love to restore it but too many other projects. So we left. We discussed it and decided to go back. We return, offer the guy 120 bucks and next thing I know I'm jamming into the back of our Dodge Caravan, with help of course.
Anyway, I'd love to post pics that I have taken of it now but I am missing a cord for the camera to connect to the pc.
It's in the stage of stripping off the side art, which I can buy on the net with no problem. My problem is the CPO. I cannot, repeat, cannot find a cpo for this game anywhere. So I am planning on restoring the one I have. The color part of cpo is dirty but passable. The black vinyl ( it's not vinyl but some kind of plastic I think ) is worn and ripped. My plan is to bondo in the worn parts of the overlay, sand it all gently until it blends then repaint the lower portion of the CPO by hand, which is a black horizon. Keeping the top part, the sky etc.. all original. I know it sounds nuts but I might be able to pull it off.
Any thoughts?
Again Hi and thanks for having me here
