Yankee Porsche restoration.

[c103110]

I purchased an inexpensive plastic welding kit from Eastwood to repair the plastic fascias on today's crappy, POS automobiles. It came with several different types of plastic sticks and an iron. Just heat up the base plastic, add the stick and let cool. It works great.

Hey guys, 2 reasons I'm starting this restoration on my Porsche, (1) made new hubs (2) seeing the project gave me the bug. I stripped everything down to the damaged area and need to make some sort of repair to the chassis. First I need to start with a heat gun to smooth and straighten things out then take it from there, but before I go commando can anyone tell me if they know where I could possibly get sections of this chassis? Hope Eightman and Frankkind can chime in. Thanks guys.

so we talk about Yankee!
this is THE FAMOUS impax chassis, i don't know much about this plastic type it is made of, i think it's a commercial brand of "something".
it's not ABS, it's very fragile, it's hard to fix,
...and the best... it smelt when you put gasoline/petrol on it...
it's rather easy to find a destroyed IMPAX chassis, hard to find a new one, even in France!

i am waiting one guy that will manage to build carbon fiber ones like this!
when you need to drive it, better to make aluminium plates bolted
