Anyone interested in the titanium bonnet stay, used drip seal trims or the facelift headlight chrome rings? I’ll take sensible offers. Cheers folks. Pete

Thank you mate. Mats sold, paid for and posted today. Can flacopower please get in touch regarding the carbon exhaust shroud and lower bumper retainer.

Nice mark up on it as well I see.

Sounds like a plan mate, glad you got it sorted and hopefully the blue smoke will go and you can enjoy the car whilst you build the new engine/single setup. Winning!

Hey all, So little bump and an update/extra item. Provisionally sold the rear crash bar, quarter glasses, carbon exhaust shroud and rear bumper retainer. I will edit original post once I’m paid as technically no money has changed hands yet. In addition, have a set of good used front pure sport black floor mats. Not in bad shape for the age, but some damage as shown in the photos. I’d like £60 plus postage for these as they are hard to find especially in original black finish. Passenger mat is very clean (just a bit of fraying on one corner as in the photo), drivers side has worn/hole in foot pad and some sort of glue or residue, but pretty clean.

PM’d you mate.

I would mate, just to be safe. If it’s like mine, you’ll know pretty quickly it won’t fit! I’d say you can check without taking it out the plastic mate.

No idea mate, can only assume they put the wrong brace in the bag? It 100% said Supra MK4 / JZA80 on the label. I did mate, Paul is speaking with his supplier to see what can be done, hopefully they can help. Indeed, it’s clearly the wrong one as it will never fit. Just not an issue I ever expected as Carbing are supposed to be the best out there and the front brace fitted perfectly. Just my luck I guess!

Hey, good to see some mature owners still living the dream and owning these beasties! I also like the front bumper and agree it’s a rare sight that should be kept. I’m only 41 and also favour auto over manual, driven plenty of both, but for a GT cruiser which these are, don’t think you can beat the auto for easy care free driving. Wheels are nice, but think they would look great in a dark shadow chrome. Sounds like you have plans for the car so do keep us posted and best of luck with it. Cheers, Pete

Thank you mate.

I know what you mean mate, not driven mine for over a year now and I’m itching to get it back out on the road to drive and enjoy. Personally I’d repair your turbos and get it back on the road whilst building a second engine with the single kit. That way you get to have it back quicker to drive, and you can sell your existing engine/twin setup to recoup some cost when the new built engine is ready to install. 202 black is a great colour, just a headache keeping it looking fresh, but I hear you on wanting to keep it original from a value perspective my friend. Best of luck with the respray and rebuild and let us know what you decide on the engine/single build, I’m planning to do mine at some point, but think I’ll wait so I can drive and show the car for a bit first. Cheers for now. Pete

Nice progress mate. Remember when mine looked like this, soon be in paint and going back together. You staying black or different colour?

Afternoon All, So bit more progress on the interior. All glass work now in so cabin is dust free. Matt has been busy installing the rear seat, the reverse camera mirror is now in, as are the carbon inner door handles, lower carbon glovebox and carbon centre console lid. The new boot mat and floor mats are also in. Unfortunately my Carbing rear strut brace doesn’t fit. Annoying as I had it powdercoated in the dark copper to match the front brace. It’s not even close as it’s too long. I’ve decided to hold off on fitting the carbon windscreen scuttle panel, will look at this again when we paint the engine bay. Ordered a new OEM scuttle panel in the meantime, so once that turns up we can get the bonnet fitted. Once that’s done we are just waiting on the new wheels and my reworked headlights from Harry Moore. Car can then go to SRD for the next stage.

No worries mate. You’re first on the lower bumper retainer so that’s cool. Had someone ask on the cf exhaust shroud, but waiting to hear if he’s buying it. Price is £60 plus postage if you’re not able to collect mate. If he doesn’t want it would do £90 posted for the two.

Hi mate, Guy before you is after them. If he doesn’t take them I will let you know. Cheers. Pete

Thanks mate. Pm replied.

So few more photos. Also got a good used set of upper drip seals for the body/above the doors. I fitted new ones so no longer needed. £20 each plus postage. Rear crash bar. I got a new one as bodyshop thought this was incomplete, but it’s fine. There is some surface rust as to be expected, but in better shape than some I’ve seen. I’d let this go for £30 and pick up only unless you want to sort your own Courier collection given the weight of it. Last up is the lower bumper retainer. This is brand new and unused in the box. £20 plus postage. Any questions, let me know. Cheers. Pete

Morning All, Got a few bits I no longer need. Brand new set of Nos facelift headlight chrome rings. Unfortunately there was no easy way to use this in conjunction with the the Whifbitz carbon headlight inserts I bought. Paid £130 plus postage, looking for £100 collected or plus postage for the set of 6 rings. Next up is a titanium bonnet stay. Got this from Shane for £100 or so. Not needed anymore as I switched to a set of Whifbitz carbon bonnet lifters. Would take £50 collected or plus postage. I also have a set of used/good condition rear quarter glasses as I bought new for the rebuild. I’ll get some photos. I’d take £50 for the pair plus postage. Finally (for now) new Whifbitz carbon rear bumper exhaust shroud/protector. Unfortunately the TwinZ diffuser means I can’t use this so it’s for sale. New these are £119, I’ll take £60 plus postage. Photo to follow. Parts are with me in Higham, Kent for anyone who wants to collect. If you want me to post, add £10 to prices (if you buy more than one part would be £10 postage for multiple parts). Bank transfer preferred or can pay cash on collection. PM if you have any questions. Thanks for looking. Pete

Hey Lee, Thats a stunning car mate, pricing seems fair given what these are going for these days, especially as it’s the aerotop model and looks to be in really nice condition. Sorry to see you selling, but hopefully it won’t be the end mate. I had to sell mine ages ago to be all sensible and get on the property ladder, but thankfully I’m now back in the club and building a new one. Regretted selling it and it took me over 10yrs to get another one. Can’t see this hanging around long mate. Best of luck with the sale and hope you get what you want for it mate.

Looking good mate. Said it before, but it’s all the little bits and attention to detail that make the difference. I feel you on the part delays, got bits I’m waiting on as well for mine. My Work wheels are built, according to Driftworks they were on a boat that was leaving Japan end of last week, so hopefully not too much longer till they arrive. Keep up the good work fella.

Looking very clean mate, these look so good in white. Very nice.

Hi Folks, Had some more news and photos from Matt today. New windscreen and seal fitted along with the new rear quarter glasses. Front screen trim has a couple marks in it, but think that’s pretty normal and to be expected really (from storage/packing). It’s another big step towards getting the car finished and back on the road. Big thank you to Matt and his brother for getting the glass work finished.

Not sure mate, it’s from one of Paul’s/Whifbitz contacts. Doubt it’s any of the bigger brands.

Thanks mate. Sadly no, not seen anything with vents. All of these are moulded with only the screw holes cut out. Guessing I can add some small holes if it causes any issues, but based on the fact no one has complained or posted any issues with these (I’m told plenty have been sold), I should be ok. Will see how it goes as can always fit a new OEM panel if needed.

Thanks mate, will drop him a PM.
