Plan A of mating 926C front and rear with 956 middle body did not really work. 962C front does not meet well with 956 body. Quite a gap between 956 front wind shield window and 962C front clamshell.

Plan B is to transplant 956 doors into 962C body seems to be more realistic. Starting with left doors, I've cut out doors from bodies and modified 956 doors and cut out in 962C to fit. Fit is not perfect and more work will be needed to improve it. But it is possible to fit 956 doors into 962C body. Apparently doors in 962C kit are smaller and bigger 956 door could be trimmed a bit to fit into slightly enlarged opening in 962C body. That will be my chosen way forward. I wonder if regga did the same for his build. Unfortunately he did not specify how he got new doors and front clamshell for his 962C conversion.

Finished second door as well. However looking at the fit I got in the end, I am not sure I've chosen the right direction. Fit is not good. Might have been better to stick with plan A and somehow mate 962C front with 956 middle body. Not sure now.

Next modification is to get engine spacer and engine from 956 into 962C chassis. I've decided to keep gearbox from 962C as is. So, had to cut off gearbox from 956 powertrain and modify it to fit. Fit is not perfect, but will do for my conversion.

After a hiatus of about 9 years, I am returning back to this build. I have been looking for ways to correct doors, as I could not live with their compromised shapes. Recently looked more closely into what were the differences between 962C and 956 cars. Also got inspired by way Studio27 solved door shape issue in their trans-kits and by work of the guy behind clay-models. In the end I've decided to use internals and middle body from 956 donor. Pictures are of modifications of internal parts so far. New plan is to have parts of 956 cockpit transplanted onto 962C cockpit, have 956 engine transplanted over as well and then have middle body from 956 mated with front and rear covers from 962C.
