Re: 1/25 scale DSM build, need some reference

Oh, this is great! I just realized you have a TSi, my build is a GSX. If it's torn apart, that's all the better, I need up close shots, I already have tons of engine bay shots. Um, OK: a list.

Exterior
-Entire perimeter of door jambs, sides of opened door and panels
-Opened rear hatch

Interior
-Under dash on both sides
-Shot of trunk/rear hatch area with hatch open, with package shelf up, down
-A good few shots of there rear seats (building them from scratch for the sleeper model)
-Looking up @ sunroof, rear view mirror, sun visors from front seats

Engine
-Backside of engine block
-A few shots of the firewall (engine in, engine out?)
-a close up of the engine mount on the belt/accessory side of the engine
-Various shots of components, wiring or plumbing diagrams would be especially helpful
-Close ups of tranny, output connection- (sorry, I just recieved some bad news and can't think in technical terms) -where the front axles bolt up to the front differential

Chassis
-Shot of undercarriage, from under a lift or something
-Close up of both ends of the suspension, the engine cradle
-close up of rear differential
-close up shot of brakes, a brake line diagram would be helpful

That should be enough, for now LOL. I'm not expecting any one person to get these all, but what ever you can chip in please do. Or if you know of a site or thread that has close ups and such, please post a link. There was a well-documented tear down and rebuild on TampaBayDSM.org before it became a forum, haven't been able to find it since. I use the engine bay walk through, very helpful. DSMtuners has some good installation tutorials that sometimes have what I'm looking for. And there's always Google. But somehow, I haven't gathered ALL the pics I'd like. So anything you can post or point me to will be much appreciated and more than likely useful. Thanks

I'll try and post some mini-parts tomorrow, some are still in the building stages and won't look completely finished. But you'll get the idea...
