The chassis is really something to look at. I’m going to put it all together. Unfortunately the chassis is buried in there . If I can talk the agora guys to give me a separate frame, it would make a great display .

Modified the suspension. Cut the front springs. Did a mock up of the car. The stance was really bad. Looked like a motorboat. Starting to come around.

Very nice Chris. -
Cannot see the blue in the pic. Looks like a silver white pearl in the pics. In person, you can see the blue.

Hello John, this is a strange little car. It has a lot of innovation. Wankel engine, rear suspension is a little different. The car redlined at 9000 rpm. The styling is a little different. Has a little pininfarina front with a t bird like rear. Cool little car. Was expensive for the time. Like the 2000 GT Toyota. You could buy a 427 corvette for the same price. So it did not sell well in the US. Only around 1500 were made, and out of those only a few made it to America.

Ok…. Changing direction on this build. Was going to build it out of box but changed my mind. . The color is going to be a white pearl with a blue cast. I have a pic of the pearl to give you an idea what it looks like. Probably going to have to modify the suspension to lower the car. Bought some 1/8 scale rc tires and wheels. Machined the back of the wheels to fit. Going to paint the rims. Now the build is fun. Was supposed to build it out of box for DeAgostini, but cannot do it stock. I will get in trouble but … oh well. Prepping the body for paint. The white is a great base for the pearl. ……… I am instructed to build a gull wing Mercedes for Agora . My friend Mark is letting me loose on this kit. Soo it will be black with a red interior. Getting ahead of myself.

Beautiful sir, just Beautiful.

Yes they will work. Horn lights brake lights and engine noise, the engine noise is not very good. But everything else will be fun.

Great job!

This is cool!!!. I have had experience with the exotic’s and they are very expensive and you need very deep pockets to service these cars. I remember my dad ‘s friend who owned a lot of older Ferraris said “ if you want a ferrari with good ac, buy it in the summer, if you want a heater that works well buy it in the winter. “ That’s the way these cars were. The Honda power plant is actually sooooo much better. Love this video! Cool to see people being creative.

I wish the Miura I did had this quality. The fit and finish is really good. The Miura was a fight.
