Are you sure your rear wing was big enough?! :lol: Great post - always nice to see somebody wanting to rebuild their old car. Do you happen to recall what make the saddle pack conversion was in that? It looks like a SWB car but has had some sort of aftermarket glassfibre(?) saddle pack conversion ad...

On that theme Dadio I just received a new in packet pair of SRM Racing one-way rollers for the Mini Mustang, along with a whole heap of other goodies. Nice Brimod stash, including a pair of Intermediate shocks, some Associated-Reedy wheel discs, a new set of absolutely spotless Proline Yoke rims (yu...

Mick came from a slot car tuning background, and I have MG adverts dating back to November '77 advertising RS540 and 05 tuning services. I am not wholly versed on the accepted standard class 540 specifics from '83 but this is certainly a different spec to the other 27T 540 'Modified' motor I have po...

Ok... so who is ready to see an amazing transformation....? I have been gathering a few nice optional parts for a Works build for a while now, whilst keeping my eyes open for a suitable donor car. This bargain then appeared, and I felt so sorry for it I had to buy it. Look away if easily offended. I...

I know! BUT, it was literally just what I was after as I have a lot of other parts to go on to the car, so this is essentially a donor. I was only really looking for some diffs, driveshafts, hingepins plus the Works '92 rear shock tower. Luckily this car has the super-rare MMS ribbed motor heatsink ...

Full set of Drescher arms has arrived this morning

Oh no, what have I started???! Something I know absolutely nothing about :shock: eBay made me do it, and I couldn't resist.... this is what Mick Goddard of MG motor fame did before RC. I guess i need a bodyshell next. s-l1600 (1).jpg s-l1600 (2).jpg s-l1600 (5).jpg s-l1600 (6).jpg s-l1600 (7).jpg s-...

I have posted this in my Works '92 thread as it will be going on to that build, but I just thought i would start a new item-specific thread in case anybody is researching these rare (and very beautiful) items and wants to search for info. This is an MMS (Model Motor Sport) finned heatsink motor moun...

To finish this thread off nicely, here they are fitted to my SWB.

Well thanks to winner_evo I managed to get hold of an original SWB CAT, which was very very complete. Whilst it had been widened at both ends and had a geometry change at the front-end over the years, all of the original parts had been retained and came with the car, so I have spent the last day or ...

The lower belt observation window has come out really well

Finally a little more progress. My take on this build took a huge leap forward when i managed to source an original Trinity upper chassis plate a few weeks ago. With that motivator, the shocks have now been changed as per the mag car, additional front upper shock mount holes have been added, and the...

Well.....

Well i decided on a shell which suited this chassis perfectly. Now for paint...
