TOPIC:

Finaly arrived today, not so bad looking compared to Eddrick M38 basket case.



Got some 'borrowed' parts on it that will have to go and will be replaced by original T stuff.

Tires are pretty much gone, rims are still looking fine.

First is to try to get it in bits and piece without ruining to much screws.

Really nice car there!!! I find the TF to be 1 of my favorites
GL with resto.

Cheers, Bram

Nice... what kind of shocks are on the rear?

Guess these shocks are some cheap blue C parts, no idea.

Finished taking apart


Upper left, the usual DF01 parts, rear gear cover is still in one piece


Center, nice, three different drive shafts , wheels axles are shot, loads of wear will be replaced by hardened cr01 ones (or universals), a small collection of 'alien' screws.


Body is in fine shape, paint isnt realy sticking, maybe will have a go at it with some DOT3


Bottom right, the holy grail of DF01 (ok runner up, evo carbon takes first), FRP, FRP mounting thingies, J parts, hollow gear shafts etc..


Close up of the FRP mounting thingies

Anybody an idea were to find the black plastic J12 part in aluminium, I have seen a build somewhere were somebody replaced it.


next up is cleaning

Show us a pic of J12 & see if I can come up with some suggestions

Thanks guys, think I found it, the J12 part was can be replaced by a SC4 part from the Egress or the SM1 from the avant (3455211 or 19405430).
Anybody got one lying around or maybe two, or needs the rest of the parts in the bag

Another interesting (and appealing) DF-01 fact.
PC2 for the Avante 2012, right? Wanna split a bag?

Edit - correction, the 2011 of course...

ordered a JPL ultra 6050, no more scrubbing?

next on the wishlist are
- a compressor, an as189 or alike
- an triplex airbrush


- and some personal protection (due to the weather not much chance of painting outside

I have to admit, "JPL" sounds quite cool - sounds more "Jet Propulsion Laboratory" than "James Products Limited"

I'm curious though, what extra/fewer features does the 6050 have over the 7000?



I would guarantee no more scrubbing though - I've been sometimes been surprised by what gets taken off, and what gets left behind; nothing seems to take off ground in aluminium pinion sludge

I've found washing up liquid is best for plastic parts, and seaweed based specialist cleaner for metal parts - you do need to put in a very strong solution of both, and wahs & dry afterwards; and don't mix types of metal / coatings unless you want some peculiar electroplating effects

Cool bunch of stuff. Wb's going pro!
