The night of Halloween

Recommended Posts

Few weeks ago I won in an auction, a Tamiya Lancia Delta , 58117 kit.

These initial conditions, wheels and tires in bad condition due the age, some screws lost, a few screws a bit fanciful. Overall nothing irreparable, mechanics must have been little used. The body is unwatchable ...

After having completely disassembled the model, yesterday I started to clean and reassemble everything.

Rear ball diff

Same for the gear diff on front

In the same time I replaced the bushings with bearings

Both completed

For the stickers if you get 9494036 these have the additional Lancia specific cockpit ones. The sheet is for the nitro model but it's the same as the electric cars.

My idea was a new body kit 51401
