Hello, if you want to save on scratchbuilding I can only recommend you the Engine TK by ModelingMaster !
But I suppose building the engine is your challenge and purpose on this build !

Have seen that TR, but it would go too expensive, and as you sayed building it myseld is much more fun

Kit includes good piece of engine, crankcase and half of gearbox



And engine head i got from diecast model



Exacly from this model(i have them 2)

Engine little bit done







Primed , so it would look more realistic





Exhaust mainfold, turbo in progress





Intake mainfold

The engine is looking really good!

[Tamm85]

Thanks !


Made engine littel bit better





And tryed tyre sanding, result is very good. On left is unsanded tyre

[JesusM]

One thing that you can do is to remove the internal ring of the rims, because they are bigger than the tyre.
Apart of it, congratulations!! I did the same (the engine) in my Corolla and my Focus, and it was a very great decision!!

Nice clean build there! Too bad that what happened with the bloody insect , especially as the paintjob looks very nice without that mosquito.
Did you managed to polish the surface better or did you repainted the trunk?

BTW, were you at Minimaailm 2012?

nice going! too bad about the insect though, real inconvenient. i thought you'd make use of some of the engine detailing from the black piece that glues onto the underside of the hood vents.
