I thought after seeing Marks resto on here of his GGR race car i thought it was rude not to do the same

The full resto is on my rs500 owners website so ill just copy and paste on here

Well i got the car in the workshop today and had a real good look round

The front right side has suffered a little nock and the bumper frame was twisted that made the bumper fit poor and also the wing was pushed over and the grille didnt fit ,,so ,, of came the bumper

i removed the frame and spent an hour getting it back into the correct shape and then bonded the bumper skin back onto the now straight frame

I pulled the wing back out and now the grill fits

bumpers go to the paintshop tomorrow

Mr RS500

got the bits back from paint







Looking a bit better









Once the bonding sealer is dry and can touch up the edge and refit the rear bumper

Well i had a spare hour today so decided to give the car a clean on top and underneath

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Well i removed the stickers ready for the new ones













Bad news is that it pulled some paint off

so i thought i may as well get both sides and the bonnet painted to freshen it up a bit
also resealed all the arches as they were badly done

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Well i collected it today from Dibsy @ kartec

well chuffed with it , the reseal of the arches was worth the effort

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Well its all built up apart from the rear bumper as it will be easier to do the stickers with that not fitted

Im realy chuffed with how it looks and cant wait till next week when the stickers go on

All apatures were done , and doors inside and out

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Well , its finaly done

Very nice, stunning car.

How much of it is not original, such as the dash display etc...?

Thats stunning. Do these touring cars handle well with that proper suspension.

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

The dash is the only thing that isnt correct , but i will change that soon as i dont like it

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

They do all my work mate , so yes i would recommend them

The Enigma

With this being an Eggenberger car how similar is it to your Caltex car? Did you base the Caltex on a specific car? Not meaning paint scheme but more is it like an AR, DJR, Eggenberger, GG or other?

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Eggenberger cars are the best spec touring cars of there time and cost twice the price of a rouse car so no chance my Caltex is anywhere near the spec

DJR / GGR cars were mainly rouse parts anyway , so you only realy have rouse spec or eggenberger

Most were rouse spec due to the high price of Eggenberger
