So I have been on the forum for a while mostly reading learning and getting ideas .

I have been slowly working on my warrior so I figured I would start a build thread so people could see what im doing and help me along in the right direction ..

well here goes ..

Its a 1987 gen 1 warrior that i found fer 250 bucks .. Heres what it looked like the day I got it .
