never considered on of these before but you have me thinking now

It would be an excellent time for it - now with the Nissan R91CP rere.
Coolest extra detail about it is that it comes with the cockpit included.
And it's a brilliant looking body shell. Although I like the slick C11 a lot.
Hold one in your hands and you'll want one. That's what happened to me.
They're much bigger than you'd think too...

Looks awesome, like de airvents above the front wheels.
A very clean car

Thanks, you know of course I'm a bit C11 crazy.
Having a runner body, a beautifully crafted vintage one and a clear body set. With double decal sheets.
I think I also received a blinking light for the rear from Rick that the cars would normally use in the rain...
One detail is missing though (I think you have it on an F1) - a diffuser.

I want one...

Haha, the Group C virus can be pretty contagious. You should see the Dutch forum.
I think I can get a long way with restoring yet another Group C chassis...
Not gonna be a perfect shelfer like the last build though. But let me know if you're interested.

No, let me re-phrase the last statement, "I want your C11"

Drop by sometime to let it out for a test ride.

Front rim restauration successful!
Now I have a good looking original set and one for running the Italian foams...

Before :


Sanding, sanding, sanding, a bath of black dye and of course some polishing later :


Nice.

After a long debate (with myself) a decision has been made...
Since I sold the shelf car and the fact that I have a few related chassis now that I can run - I will make this a shelfer!
A complete (box art) vintage car with a nicely painted body, manual and good looking box.
Even an extra clear body set...



So hop it all down and use the upgraded parts on the F102 F40 and F103 Toyota. Pics of it all will follow soon...
Maybe I can use the C11 runner body on the F103 chassis too.

Hopped down it is - up to original state, apart from six titanium screws...


I took these items off :

- Complete front suspension with RD king pins and black FRP knuckles
- Height adjustable aluminium motor mount
- Blue TRF damper
- Kawada 8-ball 0.4mod spur and black F103GT diff parts
- One piece ball thrust bearing
- 3 pcs. 1280 ball bearings
- 10 pcs. 3x10mm titanium round head screw
- 10 pcs. 3x12mm titanium tapping screw
- 8 pcs. 3x15mm titanium tapping screw
- 8 blue aluminium 3Racing 4mm flanged lock nuts
- 2 blue aluminium 3mm lock nuts
- 1 blue aluminium 5mm ball end

More than a double rebuild by now - like the title says.
I think we may even see an ultralight modded Group C in the (near?) future!
This thread is certainly not over yet...
