8860 Car Chase Modification

[Gary Ward]

I've rebuilt this after a break of around 30 years. As a 9 year old I always wanted to do something more with the car and here it is, back seats.
Hopefully, I'll motorise it and change the gear ratio so all 3 gears work.

Good job! I like the improved version of the car!

I’m working on the images ?

Just upload images to host like bricksafe or Flickr and paste links here (pay attention that images should be ≤ 1024p)

I lengthened the chase and the back seats are the same depth as the front. I'm going to tweak it. Make the back seats shallower, it'll look more like a coupe.

I was a similar age with that model... it was the year when group B rally cars were still allowed..  1983 ish i think? I turned mine into a lancia delta s4 chassis (sort of!). It had the floor pan lowered, wheelbase was shorter, so basically a new chassis, 4 wheel drive and the engine moved to be mid-engined. Had a roll cage too.... i was chuffed at the time! 

I've got half an idea to do a similar job to the Porsche, use it for the basis of a WRC moc.. studless with all the new suspension and steering parts, it would be a fun build.
