Good evening,

While restoring the CS i thought i would be nice to do a 58005 resto also
So i found this body.




Rear vieuw mirrors and windowwiper missing


Air intakes and roof missing


And ofc wing missing


And license plate rear missing.

So some nice work ahead of me

Ty for looking,

Cheers, Bram

Starting to want one of these quite badly now, just as I thought I'd got all the cars I was interested in!

Good evening,

Dismanteld the chassis this evening. Looks like everything is in decent shape! Not bad !


Cheers, Bram

Interesting, chassis parts look like a mixture of F2 & CS. Is the car smaller than the CS? - It might be my memory playing tricks on me, but I seem to remember thinking when doing my F2 van, that it seemed considerably smaller than the Celica CS I had back in the 80s (I take it I'm right in saying the black plastic front axle support plate thingy & motor pod are the same as F2?)

Did some work on the Countach.
Cleaned and polished the parts.




Cheers, Bram

Finished the chassis. As it is almost impossible to find a 58005 motor mount i decided to build the chassis up with a 58008 motor mount to start with. Will be replaced when i find one.








Now onwards with the body

Cheers, Bram

Update; stil working on the 58005 body, got the air intakes and roof made but cannot get the colour right, as i decided to leave the original 1979 (according first owner) paint intact.
Also still have to make a rear wing for it, which will ofc give the same trouble.

And the virus spread again....

Will go for another rebuild
Got another body and windows AND finally found a wing!
Got right on with stripping the paint off




Cheers, Bram

After a first date with some graffity remover


Cheers, Bram

Nice work BM I am always a fan of a good body resto Cheers Andy

Got the body ready for sanding and primer. This one will be made box-art!


Also restored the chassis, no electronics fitted yet (and yes, yet another CS motor mount... ). As this one will be build box-art it has the gold coloured rims on it
