Re: Well the TRD rep is home.....
Love how that car looks matey :D One of my biggest worries is how to straighten the front bumper. Looks a little twisted. But I can't do anything with my main car today so I'm going to start looking at taking some of the kit off the TRD today..... On a side note, the guy who was painting my genuine ...

Re: Well the TRD rep is home.....
Bought a Bosch Multi Tool and an Impact Wrench this morning! Plus there's goggles and a dust mask on the way from eBay, plus some spring clamps.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Re: Well the TRD rep is home.....
Yeah it was. It would have been easier to fit but hey Ho, it didn't come off so I'll work with what I've got. Pretty sure I can get it off, although I am worried about getting the skirts off along the sills in case they break where they have been bonded. Need to get some money in for my other car. O...

Re: Well the TRD rep is home.....
Good job I haven't driven it then eh? :lol: Well I saw a better quality kit come up for sale and made an offer on it, thinking if I got it I'd stick this back on eBay as it would be a much easier job, but unfortunately the seller didn't fancy it. So, the plan now is to get myself a few tools and oth...

Need some advice regarding car with no VIN plate
OK, I am wary of putting this in the public domain, but I do need some help so here goes. Last year, I set about rebuilding my damaged Rev 3 Turbo into a new shell. I bought the shell as pretty much a full car from a guy on the OC, with a blown engine. He had been using it daily, and everything seem...

Re: Well the TRD rep is home.....
Thanks Fimmo, appreciate your comments. Main issues I have: The passenger side rear quarter seems to be tilted inwards rather than going down straight at the side of the lights. The front bumper also, along the bottom, seems to twist slightly, rather than be completely parallel with the nose line. S...

Re: Well the TRD rep is home.....
Must admit, I am massively daunted by the work it needs and am still tempted to take the coilovers and put the rest back on ebay for
£800ish and wait for a better one to come up in future.

Yeah me too.
To me though, that does mean separating the blended bits.

Re: Well the TRD rep is home.....
I'm going to have a go at the fibreglassing myself, and see how far I get. I can't make it any worse. As for a mule, I'll still have my tubby shell once the engine is sold. What I need advice on, is where to start? And should I try to get the kit fitting better on the white car first, or just concen...

Re: Well the TRD rep is home.....
You bought this knowing you've had no experience with fibreglass? Yes Did you expect a mint kit with no work for that money? No, of course not? Who on earth would?!?! I know you've been costing up getting this by breaking your other car. But seriously this needs 1000s poured into it! I think it was...

Re: Well the TRD rep is home.....
Shell's rotten, there's holes in the sills.
I've got it to chop the kit off it and get the coilovers.
Hopefully I can find a way of getting it off without any further damage.

I don't think I'll try doing any repairs to the kit myself as I've never done any fibreglass work before!

Well the TRD rep is home.....
After a long and tiring journey, the TRD replica from eBay is on my drive. I have to say I'm quite disappointed with a few things. The kit's in bad shape and there's damaged fiberglass in all the arches. It will take a lot of work to get to a good standard. The carbon bonnet was a let down too. It h...

If I cut it, how do I get it off around the sides of the boot area?

Anyone know M884 TOE?
It's near me, looks like Xxxx is breaking it.
It mentions panel damage though but the pics show it still intact.
Just looking for a bit more info as if it is in decent condition other than some superficial damage, it might be perfect for my plans.

Re: "WOO" sound under engine revs. Can't figure it out? **UPDATE P5**
Cheers guys. The thing is, that one that I cut off is a bolt, but the others are studs. With it being a bolt, I don't know quite how best to remove it but first I will cut a groove in it to try a screwdriver with it but failing that I will try grips and then move onto cutting it off and drilling the...
