kpnuts Posted March 11, 2021 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.
TransAmMike Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Well honestly, It's one I'd call DONE!! Looks mighty good to me Kenneth!!
Venom Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Absolutely nuts! .... This will be cool to watch?? Hey, what scale is it? Edited March 12, 2021 by Venom
afx Posted March 12, 2021 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.
kpnuts Posted March 14, 2021 Author 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.
kpnuts Posted March 21, 2021 Author 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 27, 2021 Author 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 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.
kpnuts Posted August 8, 2021 Author Posted August 8, 2021 More work on the 934, started painting the tree and building a porta shed.
kpnuts Posted August 22, 2021 Author 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
iamsuperdan Posted August 24, 2021 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

TransAmMike Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 I'll never understand how someone could let a great car like that rot away in the yard............wink wink??
kpnuts Posted August 26, 2021 Author Posted August 26, 2021 What can I say, I like to get value for money from a kit.
kpnuts Posted August 30, 2021 Author Posted August 30, 2021 Hi all more work on this, it's nice to see the engine in the car instead of on the stand.
kpnuts Posted September 2, 2021 Author 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.
Kingslug Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Ok my vote for the most interesting topic of its kind..like watching a time machine in motion Edited September 3, 2021 by Kingslug
kpnuts Posted September 4, 2021 Author Posted September 4, 2021 Sprayed some of the restored body panels.
kpnuts Posted September 9, 2021 Author Posted September 9, 2021 OK Sprayed the base colour on this quite pleased with the result so far.
kpnuts Posted September 10, 2021 Author Posted September 10, 2021 Anyone seen a front engined 934. No that's not where this is going I just thought it looks beliavable at first glance.
kpnuts Posted September 23, 2021 Author Posted September 23, 2021 Got it masked up and made a start on the paint job.
