Looks like two options for those strips

Glue them on the sprue or scratch some out of flattened "something"

 

[Ian M]

Looking at the destructions, it looks like they are either sway bars or steering rods, I would make new ones out of a bit of brass wire or plastic rod.

[papa 695]

Thanks for the tips Colin and Ian iv'e already glued them on the sprue thats why i stopped if that doesn't work then like Ian said some plastic rod

[Guest]

Without doubt is an old chassis!!

Nice!

 

[Guest]

springs were for sissies in them days i think,same as parachutes lol,seen the breakages though once painted will look ok

mobear

 

[papa 695]

Thanks Ole yes with a bit of paint and weathering i should be able to hide the broken parts

 

[Guest]

looks a nice simple chassis layout, those little breakages won't be an issue when painted and weathered up a bit as You and Ole have said.

 

[mossiepilot]

Looking good Ian and well done with the repair. Didn't have to break out the welding kit lol.

Tony.
