1983 Toyota Levin ***Progress***

[Honoturtle]

Here are some new shots of what the call looks like as I type this:

Spoiler still needs time, putty, and work

Trying to make it as accurate as I can.

Made newer, better, nicer brake hubs(front shown).

BTW, this car has a rear disk brake conversion.

Bride seats with TAKATA racing harness, unfortunalty there are no buckles.

Some new, crystal clear glass for all the windows in the car.


Unfortunaly, I accidentally cracked the front lights, so if any one has a trashed AE86 Levin or spare front light, I need it. The good thing is that if someone made one without the middle part of the light, that's where it cracked. BTW, I already have this in the classifieds.

looks good, that sux about the light though. Does Fujimi or w/e do replacement parts?

But can you do it just a little bit faster?
Sorry to hear that you cracked one of the front lights. Maybe you can do something like this? Just a thought.

I'm trying to work faster...... I know this project has lost most of the intrest from the beginning already. Well, for the light, that isn't the look I was going for.

Anyways, this is the cracked front headlight.


And of course, the spoiler.

Yes, I added more styrene before I put the putty on. I want to get all the curves correct for this one.

Keep up the project you are doing a great work on a great car...It's nice to see a real drifter and a nice trueno...

Keep more pics coming...

P.S:The bride seat looks great!

[rsbousquet]

What did you make the spoiler out of?

And how did you get the Takata decals on the ribbons. I was gonna rip some harnesses out of a 1/24 Viper and spray them green...

The new spoiler is made out of my styrene stock, and Tamiya 2-part epoxy, the old one is out of styrene (very little) and red putty, that's why it wasen't that good, the new one is 10X stronger.
The ribbon is from my local Longs Drugs store in the "crafts" section, they come in many different colors. And for the decal, I printed them out with a picture I recieved from turbos86.

[Dorikin]

Sweet.

Im looking at investiing in decal paper.

Im looking for Styrene sheets to make the spoiler, I think I got a line on some.
