MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Nice pair in the end!
  2. Not a fan of the car at all, tbh, but your build itself and photos are out of this world. Every photo would be a tough “real or model” challenge.
  3. Thanks! It’s a late 2015 Skoda Octavia VRS, originally a Czech brand now in the VAG group. The chassis, power and drivetrain are essentially VW Golf. The VRS cars (stands for victory rally sport) are top range offerings. Mine is a 184 horsepower 2 litre TDI six speed manual. There is also a slightly more powerful petrol version (basically the Golf GTI), and they also come with DSG shifters.
  4. Got a new ride recently so I figured I’d bump this topic. Not sure how popular/common these are in the US, but it’s a nice car to drive.
  5. Apparently he suffered a cardiac arrest whilst in the pool/hot tub, and official cause of death is consequently drowning.
  6. I’ve seen more than a fair share of similar ebay ads in the US. A small jo-han part, for example, like a taillight, for a reasonable 4-5 dollars apiece, but shipping to europe between 50 and 60 dollars. For a taillight which fits in an envelope? One of the main reasons I quit ebay. It has become ridiculous.
  7. Traded some cool Euro rebuilders with Jeff Kessler (ncbuckeye67), and I couldn’t be more satisfied! Thanks again, Jeff, would trade again in a heartbeat!
  8. Sorry, this has been traded elsewhere! Kind regards. Matija
  9. So, do the Fujimi kits have the correct wheelbase for the Magnus Walker car?
  10. Thanks for the kind offer, but I don’t think pics will be necessary. I do have the 73 Carrera RS, and it seems that’s what I’ll be going with. Scale Production of Germany has the decklid, sideview mirrors, wheels and decals for the Magnus Walker car, and I’m pretty sure I can source racing seats that will be close enough, and improvise/scratchbuild the rollbar.
  11. Thanks for the info! I’m sure I can figure out the rollbar and seats close enough. Ugh, I needed another project idea like a rusty nail in the forehead, but oh well… on to search for another 73 Carrera RS 🙈
  12. Is there anything else aside from the engine cover, sideview mirrors, and wheels that would need to be changed for the Magnus Walker car?
  13. I guess this would be it: https://www.scaleproduction.de/product_info.php?info=p2376_911--outlaw--engine-cover.html They also sell the decals, so that’s convenient!
