TRD2000GT Replica Germany

[Zapatero]

This is about a TRD replica based on a Kit made by patrick (headcase)

A while ago i built a V6 conversion with TRD Supercharger, but as i just love the Power of a Turbo i sold all this and bought an 1995 MR2 Turbo just for the swap.

Numberplate cover on the red one says it all: Damn! :) The red SW20 is beautiful!

What red colour is used on the red one? Is it standard Toyota Super Red?

Getting started:

Test fitting the Kit:

Measuring where to cut the rear fender to enlarge the wheel arch and make room for the wider tires.
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2016/09/159.jpg


cutting the outer sheet metal - no pics of cutting the inner metal.

Removing the paint for welding inside and outside

forming the new inner wheel arches:

Cutting the inside trim line:

spot welding:
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2016/09/165.jpg


bending the outside to make it stronger so it can support the fibreglass outer wheel arch in the future.
I measured the necessary lengths when i test fittet the rear quarters.
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2016/09/166.jpg


Cutting it into shape so the fibreglass rear quarter fits over it:

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2016/09/168.jpg


Spray some anti rust protection on and seal the welding spots so there will be no bad surprises in the future
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2016/09/169.jpg


grind down paint to have a surface for the body sealant. The surface adhesion is better on the blank metal.

Applying the body sealant to the panel and the body
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2016/09/174.jpg


Now i applied the panel to the body and secured it with screws. After a while i startet to replace the screws with rivets where they stay permanent

Inside of the wheel arch:

Also applied anti rust protection here and then put body sealant on.

17x9.5 Offset 32 OZ Futura wheel with 15mm spacer fits very well on the rear:

[monkeymax]

Got it. That's why it looks so nice!

[Torero]

Really is taking shape Philip, I'm surprised how much progress you've made in just a few days.
