A while ago i got an old built Porsche 924 kit from my (wonderful) girfriend. it was sort of a mess, glued windows, thick hard enamel paint and so on, but since the 924 is missing from my collection i decided to restore it. after dissasembly i soaked the body in "Ajax", a powerful ammonia-based detergant. it worked out great, after two days the paint came off in sheets, like plastic foil. Idecited to go for a stock look, so a set of Hasegawa 944 wheels will be fitted, on selfmade brake discs. Now my girlfriend wants me to hug her, so i will let the pictures do the talking :smokin: :evillol: :iceslolan

I actally dont have a clue about that paint, but i was really thick and hard before the soaking. then it just came off. If i should guess i would say it was some kind of furniture laqer. By the way, great looking 510, those watnabes look super on it.

Well so have i, it drags out the battery fast. but i think its worth it to be rid of the cord. And i have once used it as a food mixer

I've got one around in about the same shape.
I was going to put the body on the Italeri 944 chassis, but stopped when I realized I really wanted a 924s and It was going to be a ton of work.
:p
