Pictures really don't do it justice, looked absolutely stunning at Fuel yesterday - wow! 😀

RB is not really my style, but the work, effort and love that you've poured into making this happen is real a credit to you. Love the colour! 

Well without wanting to bore you lot with silly words. Here's the reveal video and a few of my favourite pictures!    
       

No worries, I heard from Rob that you couldn't make it
Yeah i met him at JAE last year (when you saw me in that convoy lol!) his car is super clean inside and out and rightfully won "best toyota" that year. Was good to get the two of them together.

And I thought mine is low!
How are you going to avoid collecting all the local flora and fauna?

Looks superb👍

Well it was great to be back at Fuel, and to see Sam's car in the flesh, and the Trueno too. Glad they were parked together!

I am sure Sam will have plenty of photos of the event. Shame the sun was not out cos that wrap will pop in the sunshine!! Well done Sam!

See you Saturday, Sam!

Just got it back today, so not trying to be too much of a tease but here's a little preview to wet people's appetite!
Going to take it out over the rest of the week with my younger brother who has a DSLR and small drone to try and get some good looking video footage and shots of it before posting it up in full colour along with a little reveal video.

I'll still be down at Fuel this Saturday come rain or shine so if you want to head out for a coffee, catch up and to see the car I hope to see you there! 😁

Goodness me, that does look purposeful even in monochrome.

The time is nigh to get the car back from it's wrap, just a bit of a shame that the weather is so shocking this week!   I'll be saving posting any pics up until i've had a chance to get it outside and make a little "reveal" video but also because I really want to take it down to Fuel Coffee house just outside Henfield This Saturday (they open at 11am) to give a chance to have a little meet with friends and anyone that's interested in seeing it in the flesh before i post up any videos/pictures online, so if you'd like to pop down for a coffee and to see the car, I hope to see you there!   But in the meantime i've made a few small videos for my youtube channel. The first couple of videos were a 2 part vlog just going over the history of the car, the repair, the costs, etc which of course anyone reading this has likely already seen so I won't bore you with a link to that but the other shows off the completion of the custom fibreglass work on the Rocket Bunny diffuser.   It was quite a long process which wasn't without it's headaches for both myself and the painter but i'm thrilled with how it turned out, the idea i had in mind coming to reality really pays off. After getting the Surround of the "V" light fibreglassed in to rocket bunny diffuser it was largely a case of tweaking the position, fixing any cracks that occured from that and then building up the surrounding area with Fibreglass based filler and eventually fine body filler. Doing so allowed me to sand back and form the shapes that I was looking for around the edges of the light so it looked as intentional as possible.   When it was close to completion i then passed it off to a friend of mine who wanted to finish up the filler work and then paint it gloss black, unfortunately for the both of us my fibreglass and filler materials reacted quite badly with his paint which I know can be quite a common issue for painters when dealing with someone elses' work which was why he wanted to finish the filler work himself but unfortunately I think it was a bit late at that point as the bulk of the material had been added by me. Either way some fantastic work on their end they were able to get it complete and it came out looking incredible, super smooth and in a really glassy gloss black finish.   I delivered it down to Monster wraps and i'll see it next when I get the car back!   Video of the diffuser work here:   https://youtu.be/cFae3AD4A0k

Tell you what, that last video is pure filth. The way the the wrap catches the light on the rear quarter panel is quite something. Reckon you should have a seriously good looking car when they’re finished. 😍👍

I can't wait to see it either. Will be popping up there early next week to drop off the freshly painted rear diffuser as well as a new set of boot hinges (the OEM ones on the car are red ofcourse, from the factory and I can't expect them to wrap something as intricate as a boot hinge so i picked up some new black OEM ones) so when i'm there i'll be getting a sneak peak of how the car is can't wait!

for now there's been some more little videos:

It appears they're actually going further with it than originally discussed taking the wrap all the way under the widebody and even wrapping over the sections of the cut arches that have a layer of underseal around them. Ofcourse in reality this doesn't matter either way as the arches cover all of that up but assuming that it doesn't lift or peel at all near the underseal it's good to know no pesky eyes will be able to peek up my arches (that's quite the euphemism) and see the original red under them.
