Easy there col LOL

 

I fully expect that some people wont like the whole car, funny enough i thought the vents would be the main thing people didnt like.

 

Im happy so thats all that matters.

 

 

I should also add the car as it stands now owes me.........................................£2300 (inc car) so its not like i spent ££££££££££££££££ on it to get it to look like that.

Well, seems i have a leak from the roof, not bad considering. So that will need to be sorted asap.

 

I will be doing a blue led job on the dash soon too. Maybe, just maybe i will spray the arms of the trd silver.

 

I will also be trying to get those dam neons to work from the key surround light.

Russ I think your car looks great. Compared to the castrol disaster it puts many 'well sorted' cars on here to shame.

 

Thanks matt. Will have to sort a meet out soon still havent seen your car yet!

 

I have to admit Colin has never let me down with my car, he has also never said no. Seeing as all i gave him was a print out from Homer on the wings, then removed the the heat blanket and pointed at the bits i wanted he has done a fantasic job. The front bumper should have been "binned" in his opinion after Kel stacked it into a curb. Needless to say its now a great fit and finish.

Where did you get the stuff for the footwell lights, if you don't mind me asking?

 

Might have a go at that - mine used to have them but I fancy something a bit brighter.

 

Love the work on the car so far mate :thumbs:

 

They were nasty crap ones that used to plug into the cig lighter. I cut the end off and then wired them into the LED barrel. Then hooked the wires from the other side.

Thanks mate, I like the cheap and easy little things you can do to make big improvements :D. The standard footwell lights I had were crap, so I got rid of them - kind of wish I hadn't now!

 

Just don't want it to look 'chav.' I'll have a look on e-gay.

That's one of the nicest Supras I've seen for a while. It sits just right too.

 

If I was being REALLY fussy, I'd paint the end caps on the wing black - I wouldn't bother doing the whole wing-ends silver; it just goes with the whole black on silver thing as it is. Maybe a different set of alloys, but that's personal taste.

 

Can't believe you've put that together looking like it is for that sort of money - you should be proud of what you've done there, mate.

Thanks:)

 

Well getting the base car so cheap was the main thing. Finding colin was the other:d

 

Bit by bit i do things to it, hour here hour there. I will be spraying the trd silver. I looked at it again and i think it will match better having the whole wings silver with the black blade.

 

I will take pics of the matts once i add the TRD patch.

 

Maybe, just maybe i might have a 2.5 tt engine and box coming.

Great progress . Love the car . Setting STD's high for the rest of us aerotop boys to follow!! Keep the good work up ! I will keep watching with gr8 interest

 

Soon as the spoiler is sorted im done with the outside (pending some cheap wheels of course)

 

Not a great deal left on the inside, I know nothing about engines It will be strange when its done. I wonder if i will get bored.

 

Sell up and get another one to play with:D
