Default My first restoration project
I'm about to start on a restoration of a Schumacher Topcat, if anyone has any parts or advice I'd greatly appreciate it. The car itself is in pretty good condition given the age of it. I'd dearly like to get my hands on a set of wheels and tyres and possibly a new chassis. If you can help in any way, then please get in touch. Thanks.

Thumbs up
After a good few weeks work I think she's turned out rather well, the body and wing is away to be painted

Default great work
That looks fantastic mate.
My favourite vintage car by miles. Reminds me of being ten years old at race meetings at wrexham and wondering how the front suspension could possibly work. I used to walk around the pits looking but too shy to ask!
To hijack your thread though, anyone got a topcat for sale, i wouldnt want mint, it would be a runner!

Looks great. Always loved the Top Cat it was my first ever real racer in 1989. I remember going in to the model shop and paying 74.99 for the kit. Looks cracking made a nice job of that h0m3sy.......
