One sorry little RM Plan is to build it close to original but with a couple of tweaks




Can't tell from the pic's but the tyres are gone and will need replacing, rims are ok.



Dirty pile of bits

After giving the bits a good scrub, I started polishing up the rear alloy parts And after cleaning the chassis plate I began bolting her back together again

On my 956 Newman, the motor mounts are Brocken.
I love your polishing

Lovely, my kind of project.

Got home late tonight, still managed to fab some new deck posts as originals are in bad shape Finished polishing the drive shaft and associated bit's still good progress

looking good! nice and shining !

HI!... Nice!.. If your looking for new wheels/tires, just buy the new ones from the new Porsche. They are exactly the same as old one but less brittle. I got a complete set off of Ebay for like $7 delivered. Check out my Porsche build thread.

Hey thanks I have been checking out the new ones after seeing your thread's a while back, I would need tyres also and the best price I have seen so far is about $35.. plus a body shell $40.. Might have to wait for those as I have other projects with all the bits ready to go

Got some more polishing done tonight, finished rebuilding the rear suspension and reassembled the front end. I have upgraded the front body posts as the originals were split at the base (I never liked them anyway ) Mounted the steering servo and connected the arms with some new black ball cups cleaned up the aerial mast and the original aerial wire tab for the base.
