I can fit a spare tire and a jack inside the trunk!!! Now it needs a first aid kit and owners manual

Mini Porsche 959 update 

 mini Macpherson front suspension!!!!

It took me over a week and I finally designed and made the front suspension for the Porsche 959.. and just like the real Porsche, MacPherson virtual struts mimics the independent nature of the MacPherson suspension .  This is the biggest part of the project and it took the longest..  here is a quick video of the suspension

Very good idea for front suspension

@I_Igor Thank you :)

Really cool front suspension! I thought it wasn´t possible so narrow.

Maybe a 4L axle with stop and  bush instead of the tan axle-pin to connect the lower part of the shock absorber would make it stronger?

@vascolp Thank you and I will use your recommendation. Thinking in my head about it seems to excite my curiosity.  It is strong as is .. (im using arches) I just received my last order from bricklink.com .All systems parts are used for the cosmetic. The ratio of Technic/system elements is around 93 percent Technic. I really like the suspension add ons but...   I would rather introduce Porsche 959 adjustable ride height which is an adjustable suspension dampening system, I've all ready finished the simple PSK drive train system (pic coming soon) I know it might be to much features to have in my moc , Improved and simple wind shield wipers, jack and spare tire, rear view mirror, doors, bonnet and trunk, simple psk, I have start working on  Porsche 959 adjustable ride height (i was deemed essential :( and now have little time) !!  so far I have these features are tested and good to go..  real pistons inside the fake engine, the 2 speed transmission and using the 5 geared differentials and the body work looks very close to the Porsche 959 which it using curves and arches that adds strength ( the front suspension and body is one modular unit for an example) and a very surprising low part count!!!  more to come !!!

Oh wow, that front suspension...

This car shoots upwards in my shortlist for TC18. Looking authentic and great engineering

Very interesting model, I would really like to build my version of this car after the competition.

Catching up on this one: the 959 is one of my all-time favorite cars and I would love to build one... @sirslayer, have you been able to finish it?
