This build is part of a series of builds I am doing at the same time while sourcing parts. This car will be the biggest challenge because it looks like crap. It is such a bad state and I will need to replace quite a few parts, but I got it for close to nothing and wanted to build a nice team car.

This car will be a 1992 Drescher euros inspired car. Again not a replica but more a time-pocket kind of car. I will paint a Mirage SS body for this one and all four builds I have going on now will have the same colors, but slightly different paint schemes to reflect the time.

It looked like this when I received it today. The horror....

Got it taken apart in an hours time so I can get started on degreasing and soaking the parts. It actually has a few nice parts, including a correct offset set of hexes to use new generation 12mm hex wheels. And a set of inline front axels with big nuts (like the Kinwald 1993 worlds car) A race which I attended and finished in a solid 81st place... I forgot to lay out the rear hubs and drives on the image.

Oh, I dunno, I've seen worse.
You should see some of the junk I drag in the door.
