Because I don't have enough to do, that's why.

I've fallen in love with the Group 5 car that's recently been delivered to The Red Barn where we're going to give it a bit of love and improvement. This will be covered in various "At The Red Barn" YouTube videos.

THIS thread will cover my attempt to build my own set of Group 5 body panels. You'll have to wait to learn what material(s) I may have selected, as well as seeing which chassis they go on. For now, let's get started.

One of my '80s hang out places: Dan McLoughlin's A.I.R. fabrication + fiberglass shop, 149 Santa Anita ave/ Burbank. He designed + molded the Gr-5 body kits>>this one for John Bond jr.
Pic is from the '80s 'VW + Porsche' magazine article; AIR Porsche Bond car. 930 Turbo+trans drive-train.
934 engine would have run with flat fan tho.
