GRAUPNER Rally Sport (touch the end) - Fairlady 240Z
Hi,
Here is my Graupner Rally sport restauration project.
It started on November 2014, it's in stand by since january 2015
All srews were changer by some A2 inox ones.
A lot of parts are hand-made polished.
Front upper and lower arms are deburred and polished, the rear ones too ...
An improvement of gear is in place.
And bearings are better than bushings.
(If you have some good eyes, you can see how i am a bad photographer)
On Decembre 2016 i started to find an original radio box, but it's very difficult to get it... do you have some ways for that ?
Next stage : electronics !!!
To be continued ...
Jerome

It just looks like RC sculpture , stunning
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Re: GRAUPNER Rally Sport (Datsun)
Big step because I found two covers of the radio box: smoke :: smoke:
On the other hand, restoration works are necessary.
Little teaser because the painting will probably be done tomorrow
The rest tomorrow if all goes well;)
