Jacks' TRD rev5

[JeffD]

Looking good :-)

Just as a little tip in case you havent already but refit all your rear lights and centr panel etc to make sure the rear wing light recess follows the line of the light unit - quite a lot of kits look like the recess is independant of the light! LOL

thnaks
yeah i did have a slight issue round there when i test fitted the lights. the previous owner of the kit had cut out a section of the bumper on either side just below the lights so there was a gap! took quite a few man hours to get it looking right again!

thanks they're in desperate need of a refurb though, i just dont have the time at the moment!

right a bit of an update then.

Looks much easier to cut the rear arches out without the kit on the car

That was tonight's mission on mine

[Neil_turbo]

Brings back memories of my old TRD

Cheers

Neil

[jack-p]

Neil_turbo you have pm
do you have any more pics of your trd? it looks sooo nice in that colour
i've got (and saved ) these pics http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic. ... highlight=
and the ones that look like they were taken in a aircraft hanger (was actually my pc wallpaper for AGES ) but would love to see more pics!

thanks StevieL, im watching your thread closely, car looks really nice... apart from the recent scratch on the back bumper!

[Neil_turbo]

Thanks

I have these pictures taken for the MR2only photoshoot :

The first ones were in an underground car park at Steves apartment and the second were in a rundown lock up in Leek We were planning the run down ones but pulled in and the light was perfect fro the colour!

I will have a dig around for any better ones as i have hundreds!

[jack-p]

yeah those are the ones i ha, sorry i thought it was an aircraft hanger!
that car is sooo nice!

Looking really good Jack, nice to see you're able to do it yourself and at that quality

Based on past experience of having some work done on a previous '2, just pay extra attention to the where the rear quarters blend into the original panels near the doors - that will make or break the side read IMO.

Looking forward to the development

[ggrice]

Very interesting thread. Liking your work!

[Escy]

It's coming on nicely J-boy.

Got to be honest, don't think your new wheels cut the mustard and do it justice. Your going to need huge spacers to fill the arches.

[McWoody]

Great looking car mate. Lovin how smooth you got the panels blended in

[Vampire]
