Hey guys! Thanks for writing back... you can follow me on this thread for my car build up: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=204062 I'm having problems uploading some pics as they seem too large for posting.. Can someone suggest how I can compress them for uploading? So the 12th or the 13th dec? I'm away the following week and then it will be Christmas so I doubt anyone will be free then.. or it will be after the New Year I suppose.

Hey guys, After months and months of waiting, the wait is finally over and I must tell you it was definitely WORTH THE WAIT!!! I haven't had the opportunity to drive my car since late last year because of some mechanical problems and the car had been sitting with Hypertech Scotland at Bonnybridge till April/May this year, had the car back in its functional condition for 3 weeks or so and it went straight to Simon's at Irvine in June and only to collect the car last Monday 30th Nov so you can imagine the excitement I was feeling because it almost feels like I'm buying a whole new Supra all over again! To add, I was on a tight budget so the constraint was to find a bodyshop that has superb workmanship that I could trust and could turn my car into something more presentable compared to its current state. Believe me, finding that bodyshop in Scotland is hard work! So thanks to George aka Geo for introducing Simon's to me. Simon and his team have put in so much effort and detail to my car that I cannot thank him and his team enough and plus his upkeep of customer service was first class! Always keeping the customer informed with pictures of latest progress and updates, always giving you the time of day to answer your queries even if he has got a million things to do in his day! The car arrived on the first day at his bodyshop and immediately noticed it was going to be hard going to get my car in shape. The paintwork on the car seemingly had been painted so many times over in silver and the chrome were peeling off the alloy wheels so badly that at one point it would've been better off getting new ones but unfortunately, there wasn't enough budget to do so. So the brief of things to do was this: A full body-repsray A full JDL bodykit (with the many pieces of kit that comes with it) - some parts of the kit to be blended into the body and customised only leaving the front bumper as an attachment. De-chromed the alloys and get it repainted De-badged on the front Remove rear wiper and rear squisher Remove aerial Re-paint current brake calipers with Supra Logo Re-paint internal dash Paint door handles Paint mesh grille when fitted Front wipers to be replaced and painted Registration plates to be replaced. Forgive me people as this thread will be picture heavy but I know you will love it! (cos I do!) I dont' know how to paste a picture into a thread so I'll be loading them up as attachments instead. Sorry for the inconvenience! Here goes: This was the original state of my car. As you can see, the silver tone on the bodywork looks different and don't you just love that shopping trolley? LOL! you will also notice the state of my wheels.

does anybody have any ideas what to do when we meet? and where? at the beach? we could go grab a bite to eat and play a game of pool or bowling? something to do as a group I guess...any other suggestions? so lets say we meet on the 12th or 13th Dec at 5.30pm and finish at 8pm? We'll park at the Queens links carpark at Burger King?

totally bud! same here!

hey bud! so that means you won't be picking me up in your peug? but rather the supe yes?

I'm sure it will cos I'm hoping to meet up with you guys. I'm collecting my car on the 30th Nov so will be up for a meet after if anybody's interested.

full custom JDL kit IMO.

We haven't met up as yet. Still checking on dates I suppose.

Hey buddy, LOL I know I know...I'll post up a thread to highlight Simon's work once its all complete. have a whole bunch of pictures right from the start to finish to post. [COOL][/COOL]

Impul Racing.

Hey guys, just to get an opinion, I'm just double-minded about this set of wheels. what do you think? a set of 19s, shadow chrome which is machined alloy 19 x 8.5 19 x 9.5 Do you think they will look good on a supra?

well i'm up for the meet but it won't be till the 1st Dec. I'm collecting my car on the 30th Nov so if anybody is up for it then let me know.

Looks like this thread is dead..and nobody wants to meet up.

is anyone still keen to meet up?

Just to say I've been down to see the car for myself after looking at just pictures and its looks AMAZING!!! the amount of work that has gone into the bodywork is unbelievable! I'm so impressed that I was literally lost for words when I met Simon and his guys yesterday. It was well worth the journey from Aberdeen! I'll be starting a thread on this forum posting up the before and after pics of my project so people can see Simon's work on my car. It is finally going to get painted next weekend! can't wait!!!

Hey bud, I know which is why I'm going down this weekend to see it for myself. I need to collect some vehicle documents and road tax before I drive it away. Yep I think you will have yours quicker than mine. It will be nice christmas present for myself.

yes he's got the vents on the side and on his bonnet, think he's trying to replicate the fast and furious supra to some degree. he's got a really big spoiler too..not to my liking anyway...

looks like a JDL kit on the 2nd pic

so whats the plan? shall we agree on a date?

Hey dude! Yes I can't wait for the day to come. its 3 weeks away!!!

ah...there goes the opportunity...suppose we could get ready for the next summer! LOL

how you know that? you dont' even know my name! LOL well it could be but I'll keep you guessin!

LOL.. are they really that bad? so where in the UK or Scotland even is a good place to have good standard, fit babes and respectable cars?

are there nice looking ladies? might be worth it if thats the case!! LOL
