1980 Toyota Hilux widebody

[RickRollerLT1]

Fresh off 'da bench! Round 2 reissue of AMT Snap kit with drastic modifications.

Opened up hood, added widebody parts, mirrors, and rear bumper from a spare MPC Supra with hood scoops from a Mopar thing. Hilux front grill was modded to fit trimmed and narrowed Supra front bumper. New headlights and tailights were added to replace the molded in junk.

Things strut tower points, radiator, and supports were added in the engine bay. Turbocharged 1G-GEU comes direct from the MPC Supra, with an custom intake and intercooler setup.

Parts of the molded in exhaust was used with the MPC Supra's. Front suspension comes from a scrap AMT '95 Supra, and the rear off a Revell '94 Mustang GT. Wheels come from the Revell California Wheels '57 Bel Air 150.

Decals come from the MPC Supra and some Revell and Tamiya subjects. Exterior is Tamiya TS-92 Metallic Orange cleared with Pledge.

Great idea on the body mods and the drive train. The paint looks great.
