Two bodies and extra bits

The 934 is my favorite Porsche and I've got quite a versions of it - the TamTech Gear one here, the static 1/24 in Vaillant and Jägermeister, the 1/12 static kit, and the 1/10 49400 30th Anniversary with several bodies.
It's a bit of a story how I got to this - firstly I bought the 57101 kit which I intended to build. I picked up the XB Jägermeister body then I needed a servo and ESC and the cheapest way of getting them was to buy a complete RTR TTG Countach and pull them out of that. I did this then sold the rest of the car. I then found an even cheaper RTR Countach so bought that as well. As I had the body, chassis and wheels it seemed stupid to break into the NIB 57101 kit so I converted the Countach to the shorter wheelbase and put the Porsche body on it. I'd also acquired the XB Vaillant body and the gold painted wheels. End result was a car complete with all electrics, radio gear and a perfect factory body all for less than what the bare kit cost.
As the build was so simple I decided to go a bit further and make it my own. I spaced out the wheels to correct the somewhat apologetic stance, and made the logos for the tyres - Dunlop for Jägermeister and Goodyear for Vaillant. I then added the roll cage, dashboard, steering wheel and driver's seat from the 1/12 static kit. I'd bought a load from a split kit on eBay so had all the sprues spare. Quite pleased with the result and looking forward to building the 1/10 version!

Very smart way to go to save some money--nice use of the interior parts from the static kit also

LOL sounds like the kind of thing I do a lot when assembling parts for projects. Although I usually don't buy whole kits to do it, but same sort of thing. Nice job with these. Love TT-Gear. Why no SIG?

WOW, those decals sure suit them better. I would like to know how you made them.
