nzae86's TRD ae86 N2 Race Car Project 2,

[nzae86]

Finally some more progress , working out of town does not help ,and the weekend are rather short !
the diff housing has been sand blasted and the pickup for the diff pump cooler has been added , the return feeds the oil directly on to the pinion through the diff head




Today the body shell was ready to collect and it has come up much better than I expected , the paint work is fantastic








Also the mail man dropped off my wheels today so I will finish assembling them tomorrow then get the slicks fitted up .
They are local built 13" x 9 for the rears and 13" x 8 for the front






and front slicks at 215 and rears at 240 wide




At least now it may feel like I am going forward with this money pit!!!

Well with cold weather and rain the best place to stay dry is inside your workshop , today was spent sorting out the lay out for the sign writer to come and fit the coloured vinyl hopefully this week .All I can use for a reference of shape and size is the few pictures of the TRD car that are available

Sure but the way time tends to fly by on projects I may still be working on it!!
There has been a few times that I have thought of pushing it in the corner and forgetting that I own it for a while .

Ha,ha I know the feeling, hopefully I will have started a decent project of my own by then.

The paintwork looks very nice and shiny! Is the gray paint metallic or just a very high gloss regular gray?

One Hot Version video had a nice video clip of the TRD N2 car rolling almost perpendicular past the camera so I took several screengrabs and stitched them together in Photoshop to get a detailed picture of the TRD livery to take measurements from.



Funny how they mirror some of the logos on one side of the car.

Exactly same problem here. I'd like to apply the same design as the TRD rally livery but no luck on finding proper pics about. Here's a topic about:
