The Tofu Shop is closed and now abandoned. The 86 was left to rust. It is time to rescue and bring life back to the famous Toyota Trueno.

I thought I do something a little different other than the panda white. I decided to go with a two toned candy blue and magenta. The last car I built, I shot primer first than the paint. For some reason, the primer did not stick that will on the metal and the paint easily peels off. This time around, I decided to shoot the paint directly onto the bare metal. It turned out to be even worse. Without the primer, the paint peels off even more easier. I may have to find a primer that will stick to the bare metal.

I designed and 3D printed the chassis with a 2JZ. I had to scale down the engine in order to fit the steering mechanism. All the other components fit will within the car.
