the kit i bought was already fitted to a car and all the joins were blended in as was the fuel cap which meant breaking it all apart, removing it and sorting out the join lines later. the good thing about this was it meant that i knew the kit would need minimal work to make fit!
so started removing and fitting panels...

petrol flap... the person who fitted the kit before me blended this into the winge using fibreglass and filler which didnt work well as it was cracking and there was no way of putting petrol in!![Shocked](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_eek.gif)

then after driving it around for a while to let it all settle i took it to cardiff to have it painted
i did the prep work myself under his supervision to save money.

(i also changed the spoiler to one with a carbon blade.... bad decision because fitment is not as good!)

![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica IMG_0325](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/IMG_0325.jpg)

![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica IMG_0338](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/IMG_0338.jpg)

new wheels!!!
Well my new wheels arrived today, I'm yet to fit them to the car which means I'm yet to find out how they actually fit on the car!
Big reveal time..... O.Z. Racing Futuras
![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica IMG_0745](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/IMG_0745.jpg)
![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica IMG_0746](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/IMG_0746.jpg)
These have to be my favourite wheels and so I've been on the lookout for a suitable set for a little while now. I think they should suit the period of the car and being 5 spoke split rims with a polished lip they're not a million miles away from the Alumi-K's so I'm fairly confident they'll suit the style of the car.
Anyway, let me know what you guys think and I'll get some pics up of them on the car just as soon as i get my tyres swapped over!
(sorry for the crappy pics btw)

Re: Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica
Thanks, it'll be a couple days at least before they're fitted though I'm afraid. I'm polishing the bolts up on them in the meantime though (well trying and failing!) which should keep me busy!
Thanks for the offer on the tyres mate but mine should fit for the time being.

Nice wheels
although your Volk wheels are nice as well,I used to have OZ saturns on my AW11,look the same type of centre caps to your futuras.your wheels don't look like they have had a lot of use where you find them?

Re: Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica
Finally got them fitted today!
took a little while getting all the bits to fit them through the post. Nuts, locking nuts, spigot rings and new valves because standard ones wouldnt fit.

Re: Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica
New wheels look great fitted man, really like them and have never seen those wheels before(never mind on a 2)!
They would look much better if it was lowered a bit more, perhaps some coilovers?

Re: Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica
Thanks. Yeah it was pretty hard to find a set! Yeah a set of coilovers is definately on my wish list but will probably be a while before I can afford a set. The car sits about standard height at the moment and the wheels sit in the arches the same as standard too.

Re: Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica
Thought I'd better update this as I've done a few bits recently.
For chirstmas I got a set of clear lenses for the rear lights... these are not easy to fit! I managed to put a small crack in one of the lenses but it isnt too bad and it's on the black band so not that noticeable either thankfully.
![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica IMG_0784](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/IMG_0784.jpg)

![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica SDC11154](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/SDC11154.jpg)
and the bad bit... in my defence these things are bloody brittle!!
<a href="https://s417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/?action=view&current=SDC11156.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/SDC11156.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
I also recently sent my glove box off to get retrimmed to match my gear gaitor, huge thanks to Rhon off of mr2oc!
So I stripped my glove box down to this and posted it off
![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica IMG_0821](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/IMG_0821.jpg)
and it came back like this

![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica IMG_0830](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/IMG_0830.jpg)
while I had it all apart I thought I'd attack the lock with some autosol too!
![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica IMG_0823](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/IMG_0823.jpg)
![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica IMG_0824](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/IMG_0824.jpg)
and all finished, again a fiddly job but I'm please with the outcome.

After a year of abuse my calipers were looking a bit worse for wear as the paint had chipped so since I was changing the pads and discs anyway I decided to re-paint. I decided to use wrinkle paint and I'm really happy with the finish (I haven't seen this used on calipers before but I dont see any reson not to).

![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica SDC11158](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/SDC11158.jpg)
And finally, this one is still ongoing however... I bought a Bomex Drift style spoiler
I got this for a bit off a bargain and although I was told that "the paint just needs a bit of a polish" and "all mounting points are present and working" it was a right state when i got it. To be honest I couldnt be happier about it though because it gives me a little project.

Try polishing that out!
I also wanted rid of the arial hole whilst I was at it so set about cutting the tunnel out and smoothing back over then moulding it back in for a better finish:

It then dawned on me while looking at pics of the spiler online that you could see the underside of the hole from the side of the car too!
So my next plan of action was to fill the hole with polystyrene, cut a piece of plastic to size and fibreglass over it all followed with a skin of filler and flatted back down again.

and then I set about filling the pin holes
![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica IMG_0841](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/IMG_0841.jpg)
and this is as far as I've gotten so far, I'm still to sort out the mounting point then its time for some paint
For chirstmas I got a set of clear lenses for the rear lights... these are not easy to fit! I managed to put a small crack in one of the lenses but it isnt too bad and it's on the black band so not that noticeable either thankfully.

I also recently sent my glove box off to get retrimmed to match my gear gaitor, huge thanks to Rhon off of mr2oc!
So I stripped my glove box down to this and posted it off
![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica IMG_0821](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/IMG_0821.jpg)
and it came back like this

![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica IMG_0830](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/IMG_0830.jpg)
while I had it all apart I thought I'd attack the lock with some autosol too!
![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica IMG_0823](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/IMG_0823.jpg)
![Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica IMG_0824](https://2img.net/h/i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/jack_prosser/IMG_0824.jpg)
and all finished, again a fiddly job but I'm please with the outcome.

After a year of abuse my calipers were looking a bit worse for wear as the paint had chipped so since I was changing the pads and discs anyway I decided to re-paint. I decided to use wrinkle paint and I'm really happy with the finish (I haven't seen this used on calipers before but I dont see any reson not to).

And finally, this one is still ongoing however... I bought a Bomex Drift style spoiler
![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png)
I got this for a bit off a bargain and although I was told that "the paint just needs a bit of a polish" and "all mounting points are present and working" it was a right state when i got it. To be honest I couldnt be happier about it though because it gives me a little project.

Re: Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica
Nice job on the glove box -neat stitching :-)
What brand of paint did you use on the calipers?

Re: Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica
Ah cool - lookslike a nice finish - fancy using some of that on my cam covers :-)
Re: Rev5 TRD2000GT Replica
yeah I'm pleased with the finish, it definately looks better than the regular caliper paint i previously used. My only concern is that dirt may stick to it due to it's rough texture but only time will tell.
It's good stuff and quite easy to use, I'd reccomend.
