Small change of direction with the wheels , as the original cars only ran on 13" wheels the body kit was going to need a bit of reshaping in the wheel arch to fit the 15" that i have , so as I have found some rims of the correct size I am going to use these to keep everything as original as possible , but it does make my front brakes a redo , these rims are 13 x 9 and the fronts are 13 x 8.5 ,one problem is that one of the fronts has been damaged so if anyone knows where there is another front please let me know , I can get 13 x8 here but want the extra width

Cant you get your rims restored? There are several shops that do that kind of work here in the netherlands, so there should be some in N.Zealand surely.
I dont think finding more rims like that will be easy.

Well I finally have my body shell back from my panel beater, he has finished reshaping the rear guards to take the N2 kit and cut and welded any little bits of rust that he found, there has been no filler used at all any little dents have been hammered and filed.
I have removed all the cage as it was only tacked together , and have spent the last couple of days removing all the underseal and rustproofing that had been sprayed everywhere!! nearly 40 litres of prepsol wax and grease remover! Tomorrow i will remove the windscreen and then drop it to the media blasters next week for a complete paint removal
Also I have had made a rear hatch with the TRD wing moulded as one from fibreglass

Oh and you never got back to me about the GTV of yours...

The RS is a car that I co drive in and belongs to a car dealer from the states, it appears to have found a home in my workshop. It was brand new for a week long tarmac rally here in NZ , that we finished second overall ( www.targa.co.nz) .It is a fantastic car to drive and by the time I finish my N2 car it probably would have been cheaper to buy one of these!!
If you are wondering what happens if I run out of room to fit all my ae's in the shed , well the Toyota's dont stay outside!
Manipula:
My GTV is still here for you to have a look at some time if you are still keen , I may even take it for a drive today !

Nicely done on the hillclimb.
As it happens I'm on my way up to Auckland for the weekend next month and I'm driving up, I am thinking maybe stop via Hamilton...

i am envious about the workshop and the cars 
I believe you about the price of N2 build, you done it all properly 
But can i ask something: that TRD gear set can you tell me how much it costs and where is it possible to buy it? And what incudes it? its complete gear set ready to replace or only an rebuild set for stock T50?
many thanks
Stan

The TRD gearset is avalible from the toyota dealerships here in NZ , the cost is about $2500 - $3000 nzd or 1500 euro. It supplies the replacement of all gears , but no bearings or syncros, this is all in the T50 housing.
I have taken the body shell to the media blasters today and will get them to etch prime it for me this time, as the air is starting to get a bit damp here, so may have it back by the end of the week .

A small update
I have the shell back from having the paint removed and etch primed, and have spent the weekend welding the cage together and making the base plates, next is the seat mounts and parallel trailing arm boxes in the rear floor

Another weekend and a little more progress.
Todays mission has been to fabricate the equal length rear trailing arm boxes and cut the rear floor to fit them
Starting with a peice of cardboard I made up the template that I needed
A bit of trimming and folding and they look like this
Then traced onto sheet steel to cut out , both sides are the same (just folded as opposites, left and right) and cut them out with a jigsaw
A bit of careful measuring and marking before attacking the rear floor with a cut off saw
One slight delay , the steel folder I had to use did not have enough horsepower to fold 1.2mm so these will be folded next week

This is from the N2 manual , I have tried to copy the shape the best I can , the angle of the photo that I took of the cardboard box in place looks steep but it is just the camera angle.
The rear arms are being made at the moment by an engineer and should be done in a week or so, along with a panard rod , all the arms will be rose jointed and adjustable,
Maybe I should have called Toyota to see if the still have part number 51208-AE801, yeah right!

Well another day and a little more progress ,
I spent the morning filing the body kit to shape and test fitting it , and cutting up an as new pair of front gaurds to fit the front flares
It almost feels like it may look like a car again!
This kit I have made from the moulds that I have, these still have the original shape around the wheel arch, as alot of these kits have been reshaped to fit larger wheels
