I started on the TE71 I reserved myself. Lots of work to go.
I've modified the front (filled the park light apertures in the guards, cut back above the bumper), and begun fabricating some quad lights (made most of the surrounds, need lenses and buckets now).
I'm going to section the bumpers, use the ends and make chrome centre sections in c section styrene or press some aluminium sheet to suit. Not sure about a grille, might cut it all out and stick a false radiator and oil cooler behind there.

Can't decide on wheels but most likely the A3As.













Car will be red eventually. Suspension is only mocked up, it will sit a bit higher (2mm or so).

Awesome, but, the Watanabes definitely don't look right - too big.

[driftae71]

so where do u guys get all these sweet models i'm keen to build some but there doesnt seem to be any support from like tamiya etc. and where do u find all the custom wheels and kits etc???

[obey wan boenny]

yeah where do you guys get all the cool old school Toyota models and rims from? I went on my local hobby shops' website and they've only got old school BMW's and other Euro cars?

[rick q]

[anastasios]

[ke70dave]

woah you guys have some awesome models, i should get my butt into gear and buy some of these things.

i used to make heaps when i was in high school, gota heaps of army ones and a few cars, where do you get the awesome wheels from?

ive almost finished a 2000gtr skyline (like 1972 one) the old school one, but it came with crappy stealy wheels, i need me some wantanabes, where do i get them?
