oldbyte Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hi Everyone, We are about to start restoring our newly acquired LAI Sega Outrunners cab. I will take some more pics tomorrow of ours and the specific parts that need attention , but I would love to see pics of other members Outrunners cabs. It's always good to see pics as a reference. Re side art, seats , steering wheels etc. etc. LAI always seemed to do things a little different and we would like to keep it as original as possible. If anyone has any parts for an Outrunners cab please let me know. thanks in advance.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizen Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I sold mine a while back but here are the two threads I started with some pics... https://www.aussiearcade.com/showthread.php/76046-Sega-Outrunners?p=942821#post942821 https://www.aussiearcade.com/showthread.php/80245-LaI-Sega-OutRunners?highlight= Here's a link to my Photobucket folder. http://s1038.photobucket.com/user/Kaizen088/library/Sega%20Outrun I still have the original LAI paper manual and also scanned it. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0kAwpS2NEYzZmdvRnQ5R0ZVNlE Link to Sega manual. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0kAwpS2NEYzZGlwOE1EajBVV00 I have some bits for it including some PCB layers and LCD display you can have for the cost of postage.

oldbyte Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Wow @Kaizen, thanks for the pics and links . The cab looks amazing with the nose cone and rear seat detail. Doubt I will ever find those bits. Thanks for the offer of parts. Just pm with an amount and the best way to pay you. Maybe I can get @MamePatrol to come up with the side art. Or if anyone has the ability to draw it up. I have no skills in this area. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbyte Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Thought I would post some before pics. Always good to look back on later. I will repair the original bits where possible and replace if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbyte Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 I managed to do some work on the Outrunners. :) I used fibreglass to strengthen the cracks in the marquee, then painted it . The first 2 pics are before . Now to tackle those busted up control panels ! [ATTACH=CONFIG]130824[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbyte Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 A little more progress on the Outrunners. The control panels were fibre glassed, filled with body filler, primed and top coated. I am really pleased with the results. Probably stronger now than the original . I cleaned all the gauges and managed to get all the lights and radio sceens working.

oldbyte Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Tackled the steering wheel this morning. As you can see in the pics it was in a bad state. I made a custom cover in real leather, then hand sewed it on. Edited July 1, 2018 by oldbyte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbyte Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Nice work! I need to repaint my control panel on my Crusin USA as its gone yellow What paint / primer etc did you use? Looks really well done Cheers Hi @Ponty, I use the Rust-oleum spray cans. I always sand the whole plastic panels whether they are primed or not as they need a good surface to adhere to and after 25 yrs of abuse will have in ground dirt etc. I am also a big fan of tack cloths. No matter how hard you try only tack cloths really prepare the surface for a lint free paint surface . Over the years I have painted a Blast City cab and various others with great results. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been great to read through this thread so far and see how much you have done and how much better this machine now looks. Hi @micky, thanks for your post. I haven't had a chance to do a lot more. Work has been really busy. Don't you hate it when work gets in the way of more fun things. Hopefully I will get back into it shortly. - - - Updated - - - Nice work on the steering wheel Would be interested in seeing detailed info on how you did it. Hi @Boots I am an upholsterer by trade so I guess that helps. I used scrap leather to sew up the wheel covers. This video is the method I used. If you have a wheel to do , I can sew up a cover for you. All I need is the exact size around the wheel and the width. Happy to do it no charge for you.
