Total disaster !!! Porsche 911 GT3 RS n° 84 (Vanina Ickx) is dead...

When I was moving some furniture today, a small locker slipped out of my hands and crashed on top of the spraypainted body of Porsche n° 84 (Vanina Ickx), smashing my dream and the body completely... I already sent an email at www.grandprixmodels.com (where I bought the kit) to ask if it's possible to replace the body... Fingers crossed...But it is obvious that my plans to finish all 6 of the cars before the start of the 2004 Le Mans 24 hrs are seriously countered... I will try my best but I am afraid that I will fail... Life sucks :frusty:

Sorry about the loss. Automotive Forums has a current discussion list but doesn't say which Forum it's from. I thought this was racing news. So I'm sorry about your car but glad Vanina is still alive.

You're right! It would have really been a disaster!
Here is just 1/43 of a disaster!.... Could be transformed into a cool "barquette"!
The worst thing would have been that happened to a Zonda!...
However, I'm sorry too!

That really s*cks. I hope you'll get the body, but I agree with Vric, it is workable. Although it's gonna cost you a lot of time Fixed the hood of my S2000, although it was broken in 6 pieces.
