bodilx6 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 What are you using to clean up the cast parts of the engine? (intake manifold, turbo piping and so) Do you have a pic of the engine bay after fixing that up (if you have done that yet) Looking good! Nice to see one raised from the dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Wow, there's nothing more satisfying than bringing a car back to life.... I'm yearning for a new restoration project myself. If only I could find a Supra to restore! Subscribed to this thread, keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DC5MATT Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Jackso - no painting of the panels dude, just a fair amount of work with a PC. I'm happy enough without the results so far, even with final finish polish and wax coats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
