  1. At last a couple of pictures and some progress!
  2. Thanks for the replies guys, sadly it has taken more time than anticipated to get to a starting point. But, excellent news, the car is now out of storage, and we should be starting the strip down very soon. Some more parts sourced, such as correct rev counter, warning lights, spoiler. I am trying my best to hunt down the correct 60mm Greddy gauges that the film car had, found the fuel pressure gauge but still hunting for the boost, oil pressure & egt gauges. Hoping i have some good news regards the brake kit & some more interior parts this week. Fingers crossed some decent content coming soon.
  3. Hi everyone, I thought i would start a build thread on our Supra. We are going to be building a Fast & Furious tribute/replica and thought it would be good to document it here, as well as on our social media and youtube. Obviously the F&F Supra has been done multiple times, but we will be doing a bare shell build on the car and to a really nice standard. Having been a long time Supra fan, i found myself watching Just Driven youtube series on the build they have just recently completed. Craig Lieberman posted an update video on that build & mentioned that they had moulds done for the kit & were producing 6qty kits to a really high standard. I got in touch with Craig who i know to some degree through a couple of car deals for US clients, he put me in touch with James at Just driven & they had 1qty kit remaining, which we immediately secured. In the meantime i managed to find a Aerotop TT which looked to be the perfect base of such a build, and after some serious work managed to secure a used set of the correct Racinghart 19" wheels which i dare say i thought would be the biggest challenge. The kit has since arrived with us & it is very nice quality, we have also managed to get all new roof seals, window trims, rubbers etc. Also got a Nitrous kit & the correct Greddy intercooler kit. We will start the strip down most likely in the new year, once we have some customers cars finished & moved on. We are looking to get all parts for a manual swap together first, convert to manual, do a few test miles then strip down and start the build. I will try to upload some pictures of the base car as a starting point.
  4. Hi Matt, Thanks very much for the warm welcome. Yes parts are certainly an issue, especially when looking for such specific parts. We have managed to source all window trims, roof seals, rear quarter glass and so on. Also we have the correct wheels for the build which were the biggest worry for us, as well as the correct kit but we do still need to find the correct spoiler. I will be starting a build thread on here shortly. Thanks, Rich
  5. Hi guys & girls, Joined on here a while back but never really got in amongst the forum much. We are gearing up to build a Supra here (i own Appreciating Classics Limited). We have bought a Supra TT Aerotop to build a Paul walker tribute/replica. At present we are gathering parts for the build, it will be a bare shell rebuild to a high standard and we aim to get as many of the correct parts together for the build as possible. I have had the itch for a nice Supra for many years, but never got around to having one, although i did bring a beautiful original low mileage TT6 over from Japan a few years ago, i actually ended up selling it to my business partner. Also brought over a really nice spec Aristo which was near 600bhp & manual converted as a personal yet practical toy. I do love a 2JZ. I hope to document the build on our social media, on youtube and on this forum. We will also be on the hunt for a few parts that we are still trying to source as well. Hopefully once finished we could bring it along to a show or two as well. Thanks, Rich.
  6. Thought i would say hi, been lurking a long while and hopefully join the Supra owners clan sometime soon
