for my 40 years old project. On stand by since a long time...

Nice one Flo, I hope you’re close to finishing it. Can’t wait to see !!!!

I'm far to have a runable chassis. Tomorrow, I'll maybe buy other spares from the same saler. I will miss a dogbone if I can buy the spares and all the rear suspension. A lot of screws and E rings. But I have some 3D printed parts like tires and arms. 
And I  have still in mind that this project begun by tamiyabase members. And all spares I received comed from Norway to Australia. Still a big thanks.

A few Sand Rover bits arrived today. I was only really after the servo horns, but to be fair the roll bar is in nice condition.
I think it cost more in postage 🙀

Tony's Tamiya Parts have some Honda City Turbo / Willy's Wheeler tyres in - rears are item # 397358979606, they have some fronts too but no wheels of either persuasion.

I bought three pairs of rears for a combination of reasons - 1: I wasn't sure how many sets I really needed (need is not the same as want , 2: I didn't want to be greedy, and 3: the not that cheao in the run up to Crimbo.

IDK if it shows up that well, but the sidewalls seem unnaturally shiny & the letters look a lower height than previous issues? 



 

The rolling band is not the same as ascona ones to. I thought they had the same wheeles.

I belive they are same size, but yeah the Ascona and Audi had different thread pattern.

A first xmas gift from my darling wife I'm back to lego since they released the vw combi some years ago and still a  gift from my wife. And saved a part of my child's ones.

HEY!!!! No fair opening presents before Christmas!! Lol😁

I cracked. Unfindable parts for my celica . Ordered from the same saler and they were almost at a descent price.
