A LEGEND IN THE MAKING

Rufus is the Skewer show car. Having been purchased in the summer of '03, this '92 Toyota Celica GT-Four RC has gone through quite a transformation to becoming the vehicle you see below. Not content with applying a set of dials and graphics, the perfect base for these products had to be made. Not only did the interior and exterior need sprucing up to make the most of the dial and graphic mods but the performance needed beeing up to back up the looks!

Major changes have been made, the most important ones of which are highlighted in the spec rundown below. In time I'll add more pictures of the progress, including some shots from the day of purchase. In the meantime, sit back and take a look at the culmination of over five years time and effort in creating the beast that is Rufus Grin
