I love it. If anyone asks, you just say something like “because I was always losing my Camry in the parking lot.”

So cool. I love that these old kits are so rare, and older now than a lot of other “classics.”

This should about do it.
Two weeks ago we had this:
As of 6 pm today we have
Not a perfect panel gap, but it looks pretty good down the edge. A little compound buff should shine up the new paint and blend it in acceptably.edsnova2016-03-26 21:43:44

The easy e-brake fix is to V-cut the top just in front of the pivot, bend it vertical and weld it that way. Then it’s close enough to reach and you won’t be going nuts trying to fab something up. It will also look passably like a TC’s e-brake handle.

SUBY!!:-)
I see, reading earlier posts, that you’ve eliminated that as an option. Fair enough. Your cheapest and most reasonable option is a rebuild of the existing engine to near-stock spec. You could probably get it done for $1,000, or even less, depending on your skill. Or maybe $1500.I’ll say this though, then stop: The Suby 2.2 can be had out… -

Mine is solid burled oak planed to about 1/4 in thick.
Works great for the gauges and sits tight to the fiberglass so the welting looks right to me.The only thing I did was add a thicker piece of wood along the bottom to strengthen it and help with the steering column attachment.Used marine grade poly from Home Depot to finish it ( 2-3 coats I t… -

Brian! Thanks for posting. Many of us have admired those TD2000s for years, but never knew anyone who had one (the $50k sticker price kept most of us out of the running). Please stick around and tell of your adventures.
