Castrol Celica ST205 1995 Tour de Corse Model Diary |
 |
| I drilled a hole for gas cover, which comes from after market photo etch parts. |
 |
| Half scratch build engine room parts. Sorry I don't know its name. |
 |
| Low down, brake and wheel modification:
This is a big task for the special designed ST205 model. The turning
parts of the front wheels need the original brake disc to hold in
a right position. But the tarmac rally car should have BIG brake
disc! Therefore I can't use the street one. I cut two 3mm x 1mm
plastic rod and put on top (and bottom) of the turning parts. Now
it won't fall down even the disc was not put on. I cut the brake
disc fixing parts too. Part of the spring was cut to accommodate
the bigger wheels. |
 |
| Plastic sheets was "recycle" from the cut out rear seat. This make the wheel exactly fit to car body and provide larger surface area to glue. I dislike the shape of the wheels from the transkit so I take the one from Tamiya Corolla WRC. Brake disc from there too. |
 |
| Exhaust pipe was from Corolla WRC too. I gentle heat the pipe and
the file to right shape. It looks not bad. :)
Rear wheel lowing are similar to the front one. (even easier!) |
 |
| Decal was put on. I choose 95 TdC version as it was kind of unforgettable event for this Celica. |
