Very nice bud what you thinking for the refurb, colour change?

Welcome Munz, I like you already, you seem like a decent spud There is nothing in life that gives me greater joy than driving my supra daily, hope you get a good one

Welcome mate good luck with your search. Jurgen at JM Imports (a much trusted and well respected trader) posted a black fresh import that fits your bill today on facebook, might be worth a look

Welcome bud Postage from the UK might make them expensive Carlos, you might be better trying (US based) supraforums

Signature material there Jake

I drove my mums nova until I'd saved enough to buy myself a beetle different times these days I suppose. I took him to look at it before buying it, I wanted him to be involved in choosing it too, but I have some pics of him sitting in the drivers seat for the first time with his big cheesy grin

It's the big lad's birthday today, I found him a wee black clio campus and we spent most of the day yesterday cleaning and polishing it I've coached his football team since they were under 6's, they're under 18's this year and it's the last year I'll have them before they move on to senior football, so I'm hoping that the car will give us something to continue to be involved in together

Not sure if you've seen this thread Jon? Unfortunately the pics don't work (they were hosted on photobucket but it's pay to link now) but it does give a decent step by step guide, including reference (as Burna said above) to gently prying the speaker pod off after removing the three screws. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?163088-How-to-install-my-speaker-brackets&highlight=speaker+bracket

Stunner glad you held onto it now bud lol?

Cheers Andrew, not too bad then

How much are new ones from toyota? The rubber around the edge of mine lets the car down a little, have tried all sorts of trim restorers and some are good (liking aerospace 303 at the min) but it's just a temporary fix and eventually they go back to looking faded

Those last two pics in particular are great good job bud!

Suits it well bud bit more aggressive looking!

Hello bud Sadly that's worse than I was expecting, and I think realistically you could only expect to get £2k-£3k for it. It's a high miler, no MOT, no service history and needs a significant amount of money put into it up front just to get it to a road-worthy state. Hope you prove me wrong and can get more for it, just want to manage your expectations a bit.

Sorry George, missed that, if Bear hasn't pm'd you let me know, although what he said is right - if I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have taken the risk. Mine took 5 or 6 months to arrive and count myself lucky it turned up at all. Update for my own record more than anything else, car got £550 worth of loving yesterday, which wasn't too bad considering - usual service items (oil and filters) as well as an auto-box filter & fluid change, new plugs, fan belt & timing belt incl tensioner, and new front (ls400) discs and pads. Also got my super-dragger fitted...it sings! Feels like a new car

Good info on the lapsing policy, will bear that in mind too, thanks Rider I agree on the own policy bit, earlier he starts to (hopefully!!) build up his no claims the better.

Each to their own, birthday present?

"will" be? Thanks for the replies, some very useful info that's a very very good price from Admiral Al! Will definitely be giving them a ring

Cheers Scooter I'll look into Hastings too. Feel a bit bad as the way supra prices have gone I could sell mine and buy myself something cheaper and have change left over to buy him a car. Feeling passes after a couple of moments

My son turns 17 next week and is busting to get driving both mine and his mums cars are auto's so learning in them isn't an option. He'll obviously get lessons from an instructor but will want and need additional driving time. I'm therefore looking for a wee car for him now, but I'm not sure on the legalities and was hoping someone here had been through similar. I'm not clear on whether he can be the registered keeper if he hasn't got his license yet? I'll go black box for insurance, partly to keep the price down but more so to keep his driving in check. Can I insure him a a learner on a month by month basis? Any recommendations for insurance companies/brokers for this sort of thing? I've heard of marmalade who specialise in first time drivers but any more worth contacting? Ta!

If you have no luck on the blade, grams do a replica in carbon fibre bud

Sounds familiar

Hope the wee one is doing ok bud

Been waiting years for this thread bud, have to admit I was doubtful of your plans/talk but it's even more impressive than expected. Good job!! health to drive, good to see you making your dream a reality

Turns out a superdragger is a LOT bigger than it looks in photos
