In Progress - Toyota Celica 2.8GT Twin-Cam 24

[maxwinamp]

here's an old school project from FUJIMI
mold not very good, the plastic feels a bit soft and tacky..
but i like the engine

progress so far..





decided to add a 'hinge' to open the hood






GUNZE CHROME SILVER




CLEAR ORANGE




the hood



Carbon fibre!

Very good work so far!! You should Google some engine pictures and detail that bad boy! From what I can see, the distributor would be pretty easy to add spark plug wires to.

whoo! Old school Celica, orange with a CF hood! that is awesome
with Tonio, that distributor right out front is just screaming for a little wiring detail!

i use white glue to give it some 'volume' on the misaligned area and leave it there for drying once in place.. so once dried.. the piece is in position.. just that dont whack it out of place again..

Very nice, I would like to get my hands on one of those.

Did a search around of the usual online model shops and couldnt find one, what is the code or model number for it?, and does anyone know where one might be available.
