On the MCM forum, theres a community build paying homage to Historic Race Cars. I chose to go with the Greddy/Trust LEVIN N2 race car. The kit is made by Aoshima. Nicely detailed to a point. Kit contains no engine nor pars other than a gutted interior, roll cage, bucket seats, and steering wheel that indicate that it's a race car. Not having many referece pics of the actual car, i am detailing this one to what I do have. The TRD BIBLE. It contains anything TRD make for the corollas. They have nice break down details on the parts put on these N2 race cars.
Here I am making the fender arches to how they should be as per the box picture. Wide and deep SSR MKIII's with slicks sit nicely under the chassis. The aero mirrors were found in my parts box, closely resemble the ones on the pics.
Heres the heart to this racer. Toyotas rev happy 4AG-1600. With no reference pics of the actual engine, i am making it my own. High rise, equal length headers are often used. I made mine using 1/16" silver solder. Bends with ease and have a nice color to them as well.
