hi all so here is my 1993 mkiv supra. when i bought her she was a cat c wright off she had major front end damage to the front drivers wing (inner and outer), chassis leg bent, front slam panel crushed, front bumper smashed, headlights smashed, radiator and air con rad completely smashed and driver alloy smashed. since i bought her in December 2014 my only aim was to not let her go to the scrappy so i set off on my very long journey to getting her road worthy and looking amazing again. supra's have always been a love of mine but having to living with the looming realization of maybe never being able to afford one i couldn't say yes quick enough to the previous owner that i pretty much bit his hand off at the off of buying this for a very small price in my eyes of only £1200 so a little bit about what was already on her when i purchased her: meister R coilovers £700 new (what i was told anyway) 20" volks racing alloys Custom one off spoiler hks indution kit upraged exhaust side skirts so when i got her she was pretty rough she had been painted in a really horrible tacky looking gold plus it was a nasty job the somone had done, the flared arches hadn't been properly and the interior was an absolute mess so much that most of it had been removed and put in the boot so i had to figure out where everything went as i went along. so the first stage was to asses the damage and get that sorted i did this using a jig (comes in handy when body work and mechanics is your profession) after we got the front end straightened i made a custom slam panel out of some tubing i had laying around it wasnt the nicest of jobs i have to admit but for a first attempt i was happy. The second stage of the build was to pull the engine out so i could clean everything up and paint the engine bay plus give the motor a nice fresh look (it was an NA at the point but i still wanted it to look the piece) once i had gotten the engine out the fun started i took all the auxiliaries off the engine and made the look fresh and new and painted the engine block and head with some nice new black engine enamel. its late now so ill finish this off tomorrow haha theres lots more to come plus ill do a build tread from start to finish soon aswell. peace out!!!!!
