kpnuts Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Hi all I decided to add the brake pipes to this kit and was going to use wire but then realised that the working steering and suspension wouldn't work so I added the bracket to the suspension leg and then added a flexible hose from that. Should I mention this was my third attempt(no ones perfect) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Made a start on a tool chest for it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Ok so I need something on the tool chest but most of the car is built so not much choice but the rear suspension, problem is the spring plate is moulded integral with the suspension arm (on the car if you were working on the suspension arm you would have left the spring plate on ) so I cut it off and made a new spring plate separate to put on the car (still got to make the casters for the tool chest) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Not done anything on this for a few days as been in bonnie Scotland for fatherinlaws birthday, back today so will be doing more work on it from tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Hi all well the front end is finished. On the last leg now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Damaged the roof and had to respray the whole thing again (if the rest of the masking comes off like this I think I got away with it) Cut some of the tiles away from the edge to give a bit more room to display things. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been checking through the instruction manual, trying to identify where various sections of pipework go to. For example, the intercooler plumbing, kit seems to indicate two lengths going down each side of the car to the intercooler rads. What I couldn't work out is how on earth that achieves anything, until I found a post on Google where somebody had mapped out the plumbing and there should be a cross car pipe between the rads which, as far as I can detect, isn't modelled. Is that because it sits way down low in the front and wouldn't be seen? Anybody know? Not sure on 934 but 935 has cross pipes in rear chassis connecting rads...if this is what you are referring to??

MR2Don Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Roof seems to have made an excellent recovery, you must be relieved! All looking very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 Yes very relieved with the roof recovery and tbh not a little proud (if that had happened a few years ago it would have been bin fodder)just goes to show I must be getting better at this (or more stubborn 🙂 ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 Thanks guys. Hi all I saw these dental sticks in a shop somewhere and thought they must be usefull in modelling, well I've found a first use for them. Also made the casters for the tool chest. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR2Don Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 More techie questions. Sorry, maybe I should have worked for a Porsche agent instead of a major defence contractor! There is what looks suspiciously like a small radiator positioned on the rear wing. You have it in place with a length of vinyl tube coming from it. The instructions don't appear to have anything attached to it. Looking at photos, I haven't seen any that show the rad, but one or two have a pair of braided hoses heading in that direction and vanishing down towards the front of the bay.. The engine oil cooler is up front, so methinks it might be for a gearbox oil cooler. Underside photos do seem to indicate two smallish bore braided hoses round about the final drive area and there are a couple of stubs on the gearbox moulding that could be for such. Anybody know? It looks like it could be major fun (i.e. damn near impossible) to model those hoses in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 I’ve not seen any like it at work but it’s in the kit and as a rad it needs at least one pipe so I added one , will ask the blokes at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
