that looks awesome man, im actually doing the same exact thing with my sard supra as we speak.... only thing that sucks is that i dont have (dont really want to cut apart a tamiya supra just for parts) spare tamiya supra to cut apart, so what im doing is scratch building the engine panels to my best ability, the hood was a paint in the ass to cut open, so damn thick.
and the hoods are a DIRECT replacements, its awesome
im also putting in a 2jz from the tamiya into this one, but mine will be a street version.
i am however using the sard engine as a basis for a scratch-built 2jz engine for my drag race supra.
im definatly going to keep an eye on this thread, great start so far man.
