Hello Torque! I Love the TA-02 Tamiya chassi! it can do all, HiLux Pick Up Desert Race, Rally, and FlatTrack racing like the DTM mercedes 190 racing against BMW M3 there are so many nice Bodys for, Alfa Romeo Opel... AND the three Pick Ups to collect =) ) seen as chase camera Car in my video and the old 540 if they get enough current... they give all
Very cool. The TA-02 was at it's time the best chassis with so many optional and upgrade parts. Your car has some wear on the body and wheels, that's normal. And the rest looks pefect.
So true! They are fantastic. Thank you. I am quite fortunate to have several TA-02, most specifically a fully optioned chassis with the frp upgrade & low friction dampers (all original), they are awesome!
Thank you dude - I really appreciate the kind words. My 2023 goal is to shoot more content including detailed restorations. Happy new year & thank you 🙏🏽
Done anything more too the kit ? Or kept as is or moved it on perhaps too someone else ? Those plastic details like the mirrors, headlights & roofscoop could use some paint. Video called " Tamiya Time, Ep 10, TA02 Castrol Celica, Vintage Box Art Car " shows one completed in boxart if you want too give it a try despite the damaged body, the body was re-released in 2009 on the DF-03RA as well as partnumber 92202 & also on the TT01E. Team C racing also has a Toyota Celica body that is pretty close too the original one by Tamiya. TC024 is the part number for that one the roof scoop & headlights is part of the body rather then a separate piece is the major differences at a quick glance here & no mirrors but you can probably mount in the Tamiya original body ones there once they are painted as an extra detail & have it look great.
YES the toyota prerunner is my favorite! the right Wheels and Dampers soft! rear more than in Front it sicks to the wobbly ground in our Garden drifts over the sandy way AND goes verry well on asphalt even =) AND Yes the look of the body ;)
They are a fantastic chassis. Quite unique with the entire gearbox design etc. I’m quite fortunate as I have a TA-02 with the frp carbon chassis upgrade, one way front diff & ball diff in the rear, low friction dampers etc. They are heaps of fun, good buy mate!
I love to follow the process of restoration, as I do the same; did you have any issues with your celica body? I´ve renovated a Schnitzer BMW and this body was really in a bad shape - love to see more of this
I could keep my eyes of your watch! Classic and classy 👌
This watch has seen many restorations now, thanks! Certainly a unique design

YES =)
I just bought Tamiya TA-02 touring car, and this was great for me to look! Thanks for uploading this video! I really appreciate it!
Vintage at it's best.
Well done! A restoration is always great stuff. I also have an old TA02 in my collection. These chassis are really tough and durable.
You should make more restorations I love them

Quality content and so satisfying
Nice job, just done the same to mine but with the MK1 Celica body. Great Chassis the TA02
Awesome mate, they are lots of fun, I find the motor mount pinion settings a little confusing but other than that they’re so cool.
Such an amazing car, would be the dream to own one!

Good work!, i'm gonna do the same with my ta02 toyota prerunner they're almost the same😊

AND Yes the look of the body ;)
AH do not forget to fix the DiffS with some HotGlue or zähem Fett ;)
