kpnuts Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I'm revisiting this build. I'm calling it the restoration of a Porsche 934. The Eagle eyed among you will notice (apart from a few bits that have fallen off and some spray splatter on the background from its storage in the garage it doesn't need much restoration, well I have a cunning plan, I'm going to age it quite drastically, maybe have it languishing in a yard resting on bricks with the engine on a pallet covered by a tarpaulin, maybe even with a tree or Bush growing out of the car. Then I am going to do a full restoration of it, that's the plan anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Maybe in lieu of abandoned you could model it post race, being torn-down in the garage, engine out for a rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 OK so made a start on the pallet for the 934 engine, bit more work to make it more realistic but quite pleased with it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Hi all more work on the 934, first pic is my rendition of the tarpaulin over the engine (its just a bit of printer paper) second pic will be a couple of slabs of concrete when finished.

kpnuts Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Started the rusting on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 Started the rusting on this (still a long, long way to go) it a fine line between beliavable and too far quite pleased with the start I know some of the rust looked very granular and there is not enough colour variation but it's definitely a good starting point. I've decided not to have a tree growing out of it instead it will be a bramble (undecided whether winter spring or summer with nice juicy berries on it) im finding it very difficult to decide on the final setting, I was thinking of having the bonnet chucked on the roof with gouges and scratches or as it is now but I could sling the doors I could sling anywhere in the car or maybe even have one laying on the ground no where near the car almost over grown.

kpnuts Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 OK so now the RE20 is done this is back out as you can see the tree is back and I've started on the tree and dirtied up the car a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 More work on the 934, started painting the tree and building a porta shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 Hi all well I've done away with the tree and I'm calling the destruction of this 934 done, so now onto the restoration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 So let me get this straight. You took an awesome shiny build, made it an awesome old and rusty and neglected build, and now you are going to do a full restoration and make it shiny and perfect again? I think you're crazy. And I think it's fanastic! Looking forward to seeing it brought back to life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Made a start on cleaning up the body panels, gave it a coat of primer to see how bad it looked. Quite pleased, yes it still needs some work but a good start. Certainly better than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
