suspension ideas for 8145, 8653?

[Richard Dower]

i want to try add some suspension to these Racers sets as the original models had none, would there be a simple mod that could do this?...could one follow say the suspension in 8070 as a guide ?

First of all some pictures to jog our memories:

Looking at the instructions - should be easy to suspension-ize 8145 - it has most of the parts already - just remove the bits blocking the suspension travel and add springs (look at the retro forumla one model cars for ideas)

use cv joints for the rear axles if you want drive too...

on 8653 the space is a bit more limited but should not be impossible

get some LDD models of them (must be some out there) and experiment - and of course show us here what you do...
