ok then, i will try and post as often as i can and with pics (i know you all love pics). well it all started in about 1990 when a friend had a 959, i had a boomerang and a lunchbox but always loved the porsche 959 car and after seeing my friends 959 rc new i wanted one. well roll forward to 2018 (thanks ebay) and i finaly got my 959 (life sort of got in the way) and i will try to document the strip down and rebuild.

well this is what it started out looking like not the best colour                         I'm not going to do anything to the body as i don't want to damage it. i have a tbg one coming in tne post as well as new repo decals.

also got the bits from shapeways for the front and rear suspention. very impressed just need to drill the holes out with a 3.2mm bit and they fit like a dream. if you need non origianal bits these are very good. more soon once the rear gearbox case gets here.
