Nice blue Mick, you know it would be faster if it was Red (known fact).

It is a Toyota metalic blue from the 80's - kinda looks a little grey too....not red so top speed will be severly restricted to about 135* flat out (on private land or German autobahn) at 6500 in top!

  • estimated with the diff ratio I have - no it is not 3.64:1

It looks awesome Mick, great colour choice.
I like the unusual stripey white graphics on the door.

the graphics are temporary but may make them permanent if they look good when I fit the doors
