hodge Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 thought you would of gone for something a little whiter than the stock toyota white I like the shade of 040 Toyota white. Looks awesome when it's nice and shiney polished. Anyways I've got to keep SOMETHING stock on the car, there's almost nothing left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 It's all getting exciting now. I called over the bodyshop on Tuesday and they have been cracking on with the car. Drivers rear arch is now complete all the unwanted holes in the engine bay I don't need have been welded and filled and he was on smoothing them all in when I arrived. I'm calling over again today so fingers crossed the bay will almost be ready to be primed. The end is insight now thank god lol. It's been a lonnnnnnnnng ride.

hodge Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Cheers Geo. The thread isn't finished by a long way. Ive still got a lot to do with the car brfore it's finished. Engine wise I want a new timing belt and billet tensioner fitted, and I'm going to make a 4" catback exhaust at work before the car is dyno'd. I've got an sound system to build too which I've got a few interesting ideas I want to try with the rear seat install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
