RE: The holy grail: Tamiya Porsche 959 4WD restoration thread
here is my celica, i think it started life as a 959 but i for prefer the celica body shape, it now has full metal bearings, stabiliser kit, original msc,
i have completely stripped it back to nothing and built it up again, there are 3 cracked parts but nothing major, one rear lower arm, one rear upright and the front bracket that holds the front bumper and stabiliser on.
the front gearbox was siezed, just very sticky and hard grease, the technigold is mint inside but the lable is peeling,
the body had some minor cracks but nothing i cant live with. i bought a blue groove replacement body to keep unpainted for display.
and yes i have used it outside, it is fast.. very fast, quiet and smoothe. i will use it again!!!
