Hi guys,

Thought it might be time to start one of these topics.
I have a few pics for now but will probably update regularly.

This is how it started in 1986...
Bought from the cash I made with my first summer job :


It's in parts again now (like most cars I build) but this is after a renovation in 2005 and later in 2010.
I put a horrible red white and blue on it in the 80s, of which I should have really taken a picture.
All I upgraded was bronze bearings and a silvercan but it was great and I put a lot of miles on it.
The original MkI Acoms radio gear was given to me after a friend crashed his glider plane.
Charger I borrowed from my brother so I could drive for half an hour every day...

Then I got a Manta Ray a few years ago. That led to quite the quest.
But basically that car went from this :



To this (now sold) :


Fully restored in every detail and with a bunch of new parts and hop ups.
That first car led to a much larger project though, including two other builds.
Culminating in this FRP DF-01 when it comes to tech details and precision :


And a TA01-TA02 off roader with a few body options (soon to be rebuild even more extravagantly) :


Alloy and carbon all over the place...

With a Hummmer body :


Or the option to make it a Cayenne :


Yep, it's in bits in a box.

And then of course my direct drive fetisj...
That all started when I sent through a couple of Group C cars to Lars.
I ended up getting the third one they had :


And a second C11 - this one from Germany with a blue spacframe :


Body shell of the first one (for sale) is mint and the latter is good for running...
Hopped up to the max :


And brought back to shelf condition :


Will be updated soon...
