But its a 1:18 🙂

I wanted it to have the Mille Miglia look (ie no front bumper) just like Petes. With the help of a friend he pointed me to the direction of Kyosho models although they havent made the 356 speedster for a number of years i found a guy on ebay in the states.

My only worry was how to pull the bumper off as i was going to get my friend to do it for me, the seller i got it off did it for me and needed no painting 🙂

I love this model, top quality has full carpet kit and the tonau roof is real vynal as well

I have actually been thinking of whether i should buy a speedster kit and build a full scale, drivable one. But I was also looking at Porsche 550 Spyder kits as well, very nice.

So now, its a toss up of whether i should save up to get either a buggy, a full-offroad kooble kar, a speedster, a porsche 550 Spyder or a full street style Kharmann Ghia. The choice is hard. Hmmm. What are your opinions everyone? And what would be the most easiest to register?

NOTE: the speedster, spyder and kooble kar i was looking at were from over Europe and the US.

69' baja: kombi box, thing spindles, irs, disc front, type 3 rear drums, 2 inch lift kit, 31x10 rears. 👍
New engine in process: 94mm p&bs, 74mm C/w chomol Crank, 35.5x39 SP heads, turbo. Wierd combo, hopeful torque monsta!

this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
