Im crap with a camera so im hoping to leave it to the photographer at the show im attending next week then i shall post them up

Ooo really? How come imports are allowed smaller lettering and plates. Thought every plate has to be the same size and font size.

Completely agree, wish the police were a tad more relaxed so i could chuck the plate in the window lol.

Fitting all the parts today as well as a new lip. I am completely in love with how she now looks. fresh paint, brand new facelift lights and that lip just alloys to go.

Looks familiar Glws

I have seen a few B03b diffs going for €2k so around 1.7k. I literally just bought a A03b for £1k

Incase it falls through I would take this.

A03b without driveshafts £900 to £950

Bump

Personally im interested to see what happens with my policy. Paid £755 at 24. Come renewal i will be 25 so out of the young driver bracket which is what everyone told me was increasing my premium. Yet on the other hand the gov tax on insurance increasing. Will be interesting.

Both sides

Hi all, Selling my used rear quarter glass that has just come off my car. Removed as car just had a respray so decided to fit brand new. Nice spare set for someone. Has come off a 93 aerotop if that makes a difference. Price £150 Due to it being glass probably best to be collection only. Thatcham, berkshire [ATTACH=CONFIG]219659[/ATTACH] This is my new ones, will gst pics up tonight but to give you an idea.

****UPDATE***** So i have a little parts corner which are waiting to go on the car come winter as now i just want to enjoy her. brand new drivers seatbelt, s2000 aerial, brand new facelift headlights which just arrived from toyota as well as brand new facelift tail lights with looms. Today i went to go re fit all my interior panels that i removed so that the rear quarter glass could be removed. So inspected the car after her full respray and was not happy with the door shuts or the finish around the quarter glass. Now though.... masterpiece, glass came out and rear quarters were re done, fitted brand new rear quarter glass from Toyota. just a couple of picutres i grabbed after taking her out for the first drive with the roof off. very happy bunny and the shell looks super fresh now! Alloys next.

I honestly cant remember. All i can remember was checking it was for a pre aerotop.

Its hard to tell from the picture but it does appear to be an open diff not a lsd torsen diff. Is this what was suppose to be the A03b?

Yes keeping the car for the time being. Just want to enjoy it for summer now. I shall find the invoice for part numbers, they were around £360 for both. Thank you, me too Well i only ordered them this week lol so i would assume they are still available. I agree, oem bonnet suits the car way better. Simply, came with my conversion

Hello all and welcome to my build thread of 'RattleSnake' name will be explained later. The car i Purchased off a trader who is very questionable at best (not on the forum) finding out later i had been stung but not as bad as some of the stories. The car itself is a 1993 naturally aspirated auto 1A1 Aerotop/Targa supra. I bought the car with the sole purpose of turning it into a TT6 aerotop. i jumped head first into purchasing the car after being told how rare the colour is and how special it looks in the sun. It was brought down to me to view in between work which was good of him tbh. However i was told its the cleanest car he has ever sold. i took his word and to my mistake very quickly looked over the car missing several bits that needed attention. Here are some pictures of it when i bought it. The car was competely stock bar audio system and cat back exhaust. After a little time the battery went dead so i went out and bought a brand new Bosch battery with 4 year warranty so i will not have to worry about that again. I also got straight onto Keron at extreme performance and ordered a new seat belt as the one it had wasn't retracting even after taking it apart for a clean. I then started to notice the car had a few rust issues appearing on the exterior shell so wanted to get them addressed immediately before they got any worse. I spoke to the bodyshop and we agreed that whilst they dealt with the rust problems the car should have a compete respray as the panels with rust would be stripped back meaning some panels would have brand new fresh paint and others would have 24 year faded paint. Here are some of the pictures of the car in the shop. Semi end results: Car came back looking stunning. sadly a few bits were not 100%and the finish around the rear quarter glass was not very good due to it not being removed. We discussed it and agreed as soon as the car came back they would sort out all the little niggles and have the glass removed and those bits completely re done. So i ordered brand new rear qquarter glass from toyota to have fitted to the car The next day the car was straight off to Lee at SRD to fit a V160 manual conversion that i ordered as soon as i purchased the car. The whole ordeal was a complete ball ache with many problems arising with the kit i ordered from an import company. Thanks to Lee and his team he sorted it all out and installed in the car. I had a low miler (45,000)miles v160 installed with TRD gearbox mount. The kit was also suppose to come with a manual gear surround which it did not but i decided to just buy a brand new one and treat myself Lee kept me up to date at all times sending me pictures along the way. i will be Mentioning SRD many more times in this thread as i will be taking the car back to him for future work. I left out one final piece which is why my car has its name. My car has a solid flywheel with a HKS LA twin plate clutch installed. Lee warned me it rattles but is perfectly normal. MY god i was in for a suprise, never heard a car with a twin plate before. Chris Parry was also dropping off his beast of a supra when i went to pick it up and gave it the name rattlesnake lol. The name has stuck and i like it. Future work The car has been away from me for a long time and i have barely covered any miles in her so i am now planning on enjoying her for summer and then continuing the build come winter. Parts i have but am yet to fit A03b diff (deposit on one atm) Facelift rear fail lights s2000 aerial I would like to buy new alloys and tyres along with facelift headlights to finish off the exterior for me. After that its time to get a TT engine fitted. Thank you for reading my build and i shall update it as i go.

Don't be so negative guys. If it is truely going to be an auto and look like the above pictures it means one thing. We are all sitting on our retirement funds as mkiv values will increase nicely In all seriousness if they made the FT-1 the "supra" i can see many of us jumping ship but not for that test mule.

What idiot decides to cancel the meet.....

F my life! I have just had to spend £200 on the gear shift plastic alone!

My review of Lee and SRD. First of all a little back story to add some context. My car is an aerotop na auto and i asked Lee to fit a 6 speed conversion kit that i had a company importing for me. I spoke to Lee on the phone and he left me feeling confident i had choosen the right place and he agreed to having the parts shipped to him. I was promised an arrival dates for the parts so went ahead and dropped the car off. No parts arrived when promised, waited nearly an extra week for them to arrive all this time Lee had my supra taking up space but never pressured me to come get the car back. So to the parts, they arrived with the gearbox being useless and needing a complete rebuild, a lot of parts missing or not off a supra. Lee got in touch straight away and updated me with his finding. I contacted the company who imported the bits, very little communication and when they did they would respond with "kit doesnt include that" thankfully having it all in writting so i could prove otherwise. Lee once again went the extra mile contacted the company telling them how it was and what was needed and getting them to agree to cover the cost. Something im 99% sure i would of had to taken them to court to achieve. Once all of that was over Lee and the team got on with the work keeping me updated at all times and sending pictures of the progress. To put it simply Lee and his team did everything right. Probided a great service, answered all of my questions and went the extra mile for me when i suspect most garages would of just said it was not there problem.

Wanted in good condition Pre facelift.

My 1A1 (MSB) na auto aerotop. Just had a refresh respray and currently at srd having a v161 fitted.

£50?

I would like to thank all the recent replys! You have all been really helpful and polite. I agree with all points and honestly i chop and change my mind every 2 minutes! I knew when i sent the car in for paint i wouldn't see all the money back but i didn't plan to sell right away.
