Toyota Tom's 84C

I started this two weeks ago. The engine is almost completed, just a few details left.

Fantastic job on the lathe!

Wey!!! I never though this car had the supra L4!!! I though was powered by the V8 bi-turbo: that's cool: another cool engine for our S7 :D :D :D

Nice machining job. Looking forward to seeing more!

Wish I could build these things at "school". Looking awesome and great job on the lathe. :popcorn:

Doors don't just fall off! .....you cut it out didn't you? :runaround:
It is looking very promising!

Allright, i m sitting back and relaxing, this is going to be a sweet wip!

Thanks for all the comments.

The parts I turned on the lathe are some of the firts parts I have done exept for parts for our Formula SAE car. I just wish I had a lathe at home.

The door kind of fell off. I wasn't sure if I should open the doors. And without really knowing what I did I grabed the body and a knife and started cutting. A few minuted later I had a door in one hand and a body in the other and had no clue what happened.

A small update. The rear is mocked up and seems to fit well. Needs some oil and brake lines and the chassis needs some paint.

Also finnished the wheels, painted Alclad chrome and gold. I like the look and will display two wheels without the covers.

it is that a tamiya kit and does it come with an engine also?

thx

Beautiful work. You must work quickly!

Nice work, those wheels are nice might have to steal them from my kit and use em on a golf. Keep us posted. If anything goes wrong with the decals let me know i plan on not using them.

Very nice progress, can't wait to see the end result.

Nice job you are doing on this. Looking forward to more progress, great detail work btw too.
