Unsure as to the charcoal bumpers and whether i like them or not, but the rest of it i do. Will end up doing mine white with a black bonnet and then possibly some red in vinyl. Possibly a cross between Martins and Yates’ TRD colourscheme.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=takai;279823]Found a couple of higher res ones too:

Wish people would fix the white balance on their cameras though :([/QUOTE]

So thats probably the colour scheme ill be going with.

As for progress on the car, i stripped out the engine bay on the weekend, and it now looks like this:

Painted the guard inners, rad panel front and lower cowl a nice matt black, and then started bogging up the spare bolt holes in the engine bay:

Gotta give it a sand and then hit it with more 2pak white.

While ive been sick i also fabbed up a little box for the fuel gauge:

Thatll sit in the rear window with a switch so i can check fuel levels.

Also picked up a TRD N2 rear wing copy:

Will be attaching that and bogging it in after i clean up the rear. Will have to figure out a new boot release though as that will cover the key.

Expect to have painted the engine bay by the weekend, and then be onto bodywork.
