One Hot Version video had a nice video clip of the TRD N2 car rolling almost perpendicular past the camera so I took several screengrabs and stitched them together in Photoshop to get a detailed picture of the TRD livery to take measurements from.



Funny how they mirror some of the logos on one side of the car.

Hi there
The paintwork has been done in a base coat, clear coat system with a silver metallic and a 2 pack white for the other areas , a lot of work went into painting the inside around all the rollcage etc

The picture of the ORC car that you have I think is a car that has been built after the TRD cars , so maybe they copied it from photos or the original, remember the TRD cars were built in 1985. You can see that the wheel flares are also a complete different shape to take 15 inch wheels and they have been pushed further out from the body work to take a wider wheel as well .
Hows your project coming along ?

Hey Steve
always love checking up on the progress of your car. It's good to see another guy doing a real proper job of it in NZ. I still have mine up on the spit in the garage after finishing the underside, will have to get back out there and start doing some more work.

the rally version w/o the n2 over-fenders shows better where the lines should go.

Thanks for the pictures , I hope I have the shape correct I will find out when I get home tomorrow after working away all week, as the sign writer is going to do my car today .
Luck would have it we have a 3 day weekend, so after catching up on some jobs at home I will be able to spend some time bolting things together.

Well I came home to I nice surprise that the colour and shapes were exactly what I wanted , so tomorrow I will have my tires fitted up to the rims that I sealed together tonight , and start fitting up the body work . Here is a couple of pictures of it so far






I will get the same guy to do the rest of the TRD stickers and windscreen banner when the car is finished
