TT-02 1978 Zakspeed Capri

I just got this finished up and, I've got to say, I think it may be the most badass body tamiya has come out with. Looks sooo good and has made me dive into the Group 5 cars hard.

It was my first TT-02 and built mostly stock with added bearings, cva dampers, and low friction pivot balls.

The decals were something else but, man, Tamiya has those so well engineered that, if you take the time, they fit absolutely perfectly and look incredible.

Ham, turkey, bacon on toasted sourdough

Sandwiches almost everyday for lunch this week. This was the best one by far.

Grilled ham and cheese on sourdough

Cheddar, pepperjack, and the ham for lunch. It was great but I need a nap.

I found a good looking rump roast on sale and figured it was time again.

Beef seasoned with S&P, garlic and onion powder, and Mexican orgegano.

Ran the grill at ~350 for maybe an hour and a half until the beef hit 130.

Served up on griddled bolillo rolls from the grocery store bakery with packet au jus. Damn good.

Im a big Saab fan and have a TT02 on the way (Zakspeed Capri) and wondered if there's a 1/10th Saab 99 body out there I could put on it. Nope, there doesn't seem to be. I've now gone down the rabbit hole of deciding I want to make one myself.

I just got this printed out at the short wheelbase length (251mm) of the TT02. The idea is I'm going to use this model (cleaned up of course) as a vacuum form mould.

Really, this'd be better off on a more rally-centric chassis (XV-0*) but, because I have the TT02 on the way, that's what I'm shooting for for the time being.

...like four freaking years ago and never said anything. In my anger and excitement, I decided to tell him what he needed.

Edit: I apparently didn't make it clear that, in the video, this is my Mastertouch and my useless metal garbage. This was sent to my buddy when I found out that he'd bought one way back without saying anything and only sent a pic of it running for the first time tonight. We like to tell each other how stupid we are. It is what it is.
