Time to share my newest incredible time capsule that was delivered this weekend. Built in 1986 and never driven - tires never even glued! Original owner of this RW1 is a scale modeler and added many special touches such as custom painted wheels and driver visor. It's just amazing and I'm over the moon. Just a couple pics for now:

Me too, but it's a one of a kind as far as I know. Here's part of his story on this: " This is built as a Replica of the 1989 March / Porsche 89P Quaker State Porsche Indy Car built from a Tamiya 1/10 Lola T94/00 high downforce road course configuration. Custom Built for a display case in a Porsche Service Center. I created this custom build in 1995 to be displayed at local Porsche service center owned by a friend of mine. It was on display for over twenty years in a glass case. It is built on the F103L chassis and is based on the Road Course wing set on the March 89P car . . . The model was returned to me a few years ago and has been in storage since. This is the only one I have ever seen . . . Research (Google) the Porsche 89P . . . It took a lot of work to identify and find the decals on this Model. I am pretty sure it is almost impossible to find any of them after all these years. Some of them I had to actually have made for this project. " I thought the JPS was nice (and it IS) but this is next level nice! IG_tamiyaddiction

So I traded a couple of things for a Top Force project 😂 Of course I put a list together and click click click hahaha. So New black front gearbox housing, Annodised blue front hubs (to match the installed prop shaft haha) New body set, Bezerk shock tower kit, wheels & tyres, Motor (and the rest of the electrics hahaha) and the best part a custom Carbon chassis kit with annodised blue alloy stand offs 😊 ready to rebuild
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate
