I got the body from slot car show at Essex, MD couple of weeks ago.. It was white with broken bar and no driver head and paint was gone so here is fully restored tyco porsche 914 - i just added windshield (it came from JL 57 corvette body). This car does really good on tracks.

Beautiful job, I really like the color scheme.

I have one I need to restore. It just needs the wing behind the drivers head. The verticals are still there so it should be easy, but I haven't gotten to it yet.

Wow, that's much better looking than the original Tyco paint scheme. It makes what is arguably one of the least inspiring cars Porche ever did look very good. Yeah, that pancake body is a very good runner.

Hello Wes,

That really looks great--very inspiring!
The colour works very well on that body-style. I like it a lot.
I see you're missing the glass for the Benz C-111 (me too), that must be the most commmon prob with that car because I see them all the time for sale without it.
An excellent job all around! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


Cheers, Mate!

Satellite,

Try and click on that website link again. I reset the format and add .JPG on the end. Let me know if it works now or not.
