I'll have it, drop me a pm sir.

p1$$ off you

Air ducts on the front wings was always a consideration, but I'd put off doing it, I think you're right though it might be better with them cut out.

So browsing the web I found someone who has already done what I am doing by extending the TRD to make a super widebody. I have to say I love the look, I won't be extending the sideskirts outboard like they have done, but it's the same look on the wings and quarter panels... http://img.photobucket.co...

Oh nice, that actually has some very nice styling going on, especially like the door/rear quarters vent.

Set me off thinking about it now....

You're very welcome, glad to be able to sort a fairly tricky issue out over the phone.

So we got the final version of the extended quarter panel shape done and mocked up the top edge shape, it looks pretty good. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/paddy1970/20170602_161416_zpss1efdkz2.jpg Exactly 25mm wider than a regular TRD. The TRD duck tail is now finished... http://img.photobu...

Yes it would have been better to make the frame itself from aluminium from a weight perspective but the hinge mounting plate needs to be steel as aluminium has a tendancy to fracture under stress/flex. I would have had a problem joining alloy to steel too, this way I can get a good weld onto the hin...

So a little side project on the car is to make the F40 lid an integral part of the body. I can't ever remember seeing anyone being able to successfully hinge the lid so it works properly and not just a lift on/lift off panel (which is kind of crap really). I've put a lot of research into this and ho...

Some more time spent on the new duck tail design, this works perfectly for me from a styling point of view. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/paddy1970/20170524_171002_zpsu5s6prj7.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/paddy1970/20170524_170951_zpst4xd1ghs.jpg Still an awful lot to do of co...

Ok so I grabbed a cheeky day on the car to make a start on extending the widebody to cover the 12j rims. The initial plan was to cut and extend the entire quarter and blend it back in, however it had more chance of compromising the overall rigidity doing it that way, so I decided to leave the origin...

Ah that is an easy mistake to make I guess, it just makes you build the next one better

Clutch slaves are all identical from 84-89, as it the clutch slave push rod, all identical. Did you change the clutch or fit the whole engine gearbox from another car complete as one unit? It sounds to me like either the release bearing is not installed properly or some other clutch installation fau...

Just noticed a wire frame error on the rear arch, it won't have a flat arch top like that, I was lazy with my sketch.

I will fully detail the process so you can copy if you like, but I do tend to go pretty overboard on the structure and framework, so it might take a while. I've acquired another set of wheels for the project that would be much better suited, I was taking a lot of flack for fitting the XXRs anyway, b...

It's been so long since I worked on it there was a good layer of dust on the car, but we plonked the F40 lid on to see how it looks on a TRD, to my knowledge there isn't a TRD with one of these fitted so unsure about wether it works on this kit visually or not. I have to say I like it, a lot, I was ...

The Toyota parts system only gives a rough initial estimate though on enquiry, the delivery dates radically change the second they actually place the order on the system. I've had Toyota quote me 2 months delivery before but as soon as I actually place the order it refreshes as a week or two max. I'...

Yes she's due an airing this week, need to declutter and take a fresh look at her.

Dots on the horizon
