Re: TRD Show car - Rebild & Re-spray in Candy Red
A lot of love going into this, looks gorgeous.
Did you ever have any problems with overheating under the glass? I've been working on a 2 where we just replaced the vents on the engine lid with glass and grafted some vents between the 2. Works pretty well.

Cracking job dude
How do you get on with heat dissipation from the engine?

Re: TRD Show car - Rebild & Re-spray in Candy Red
well the side vents helped massively! but on long drives ill leave the boot lid on the latch unclosed.
still want to sort this rising lid really but on other mods/projects at the moment!

Lovely car mate. The attention to deatail is 2nd to none. Would love to see this in the flesh and get my creation parked next to yours!

Re: TRD Show car - Rebild & Re-spray in Candy Red
Looks brilliant mate, dont think I would personally go for all the white as I would end up with thumb prints allover it being a messy git! What about the ait vents from the centre have you relocated them somewhere or they just gone completely?

The low rise lights are so epic looking! I can't wait for mine to arrive
I'm sure relocating the controls was awkward enough?

Re: TRD Show car - Rebild & Re-spray in Candy Red
Thanks guys. Rear lights are on the modding list next the standard rev 3 lights are very good lookin even 20 years later though, so tough coming up with something better???
and used a spare interior harness and heater controls (benefits of havimg so many spares!) to move the heater controls into the glove box, didnt take to long.
