Outstanding!

I repeat my question about the springs/dampers.

Re: Progress: Porsche Carrera GT

Sorry Steve, I missed your question earlier. I used small springs cut to size. Then used plastic card, metal rod and brass tube to rebuild and strengthen the damper. I should have taken photos of all the pieces to make it clearer.

BTW this build just doesn't cease to amaze me. It's bloody perfect.

I'm not tired to see those rear fenders: simply sweet, and the tunnel between seats.. a jewel, it's just a mistery how you keep all so clean.

I just recently picked up my Carrera GT project, and I'm using your car as a guide/inspiration!

Their website at www.galtran.com, click on the scale nuts and bolts link. Shipping is cheap to Australia too, something like 3 US dollars last time I ordered.
