Picked this stuff up cheap from australia (associated RC1) was listed as used car parts
The foams are new and came with a whole extra front and rear axel also a vintage k&b carb. Finding parts for this one wont be so easy but did get a body from abutal (Thanks Al) 1979 lotus indy car.

Well i guess i will start with changes. First is the biggest the body, i decided to go with the ferrari 312pb also i went to a factory perry carb. The front mounts are now the correct earlier aluminium version i made these on my lathe with nip prototype to take measurments. The finished stuff is a hand made fuel tank mount with new pylon tank and dubro filter. The muffler is a rare Murphy quite muffler and the air filter is a nip associated from 1971. Last but not at all least is the the throttle linkage push rod and pull rod these are designed to take any strain of the linkage the have spings and stops inside the tubes these were both hand made and soldered to match my nip associated pieces.
