TOPIC:

Anyone know of a source to obtain parts for a 58008 (inc lexan)? Or do you have any bits n bobs for this model I can beg for?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated!!

Only suggestions I have are:
CD case material for "glass" if you're not bothered about authenticity.
Give me a shout if you get stuck sourcing any of the funny little machined bits (eg axles, collars etc) & I might be able to help you out, as long as you could find dimensional info for them

Wow, do you fabricate your own parts?

Hi Porsche,

Great prject you working on. Unfortunately i don't have parts for such a car. But i'll keep an eye on our local ad's...and if something shows up i'll keep you informed.

Good luck

Thanks Manotas, much appreciated!

You still haven't looked at my gallery, have you....
Yeah I make all sorts of stuff, not just toy car bits -
Look at the stuff in my gallery, then,
look at "Wild Willy M38 basketcase rebuild" &
"Not Tamiya or RC but very cool"
Those are probably the better demonstrations

As for the Lambo, my interest is cos I want one. I had the Celica LB Turbo back in the 80's & recently did an F2 custom job (See the F2 custom van in my gallery & "F2.... causing dazed confusion"), so I've got a vague idea of some of the bits you might encounter

Hi,
What parts are you looking for?

Pretty much everything! I've taken on a model with no electrics and battered body.

Just had a look at your collection! Nice work... and I can see your devotion to the craft. Nicely done!

Looks near complete, what are you whining about?!
I think that was the one I was watching recently, It's far better than most that come up on ebay.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's the "CS" version, isn't it? - looks identical to my old Celica...

Speed controller is a variable resistor type (Similar to Holiday Buggy, but different bracket), with a flat plate to servo-tape it to the throttle servo. There's a topic on here somewhere that someone's got a NIB one, failing that, Ebay, normally around
