MRC Santana 4x4
Hi,
this is an uncommon car on this forum, original French, a Santana 4x4, I'm going to restore it.
First photos of the car as it was when purchased:
Right now it's in parts, being refreshing.

Re: MRC Santana 4x4
this is how my Santana currently is:
I tryied to restore each part the best I could, I'll now be able to rebuild it, hoping to replace later some of the most used parts with new ones.

Re: MRC Santana 4x4
Hi, the chassis is finished, I still have to take care of the body (which is painted inside AND outside )
what I did to get there:
- I've cleaned everything, of course
- I redid a shock front bracket into a piece of carbon that I had in a drawer
- I redid the upper belt cover by recovering the original part's expanded portion and making the long part with a piece of lexan
- I sanded and polished the bottom of triangles, front cell and bumper
- I derusted gimbals and gimbal nut
- I applied a perfect product on dampers to get back their original appearance
- and I rebuilt it
(and I used google translation to complete this message )

Re: MRC Santana 4x4
I finally received double sided scotch bought on e-bay, so my Santana is now finished
It's not so perfect I hoped, white brushed paint I used to cover defaults is not as white as bomb paint
And I thought I had MRC decals, but finally no, so It will stay like that
