Guest adam b Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Is that the JDL kit!? no mate,, hand made rear panel,arch,and the over fenders are all one off,made by me and my mate. the veilside skirts have been modified for better ground clearence. and have been blended into ther rears. the wings are also on off,s thay come from GBH,s gold supra, i bought them from carl bibby,who ended up buying it from GBH ,,he put that CHARGESPEED bodykit on it in red. so i bought the wings,and the genuine veilside front that the gold supra sported. hope this helps matey. atb adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adam b Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Well all the inside has been removed from the car carpet,seats.plastics.dails and most of the dash. just the main dash to take out cos im going to have it recoverd just not to sure if leather or flocking would be best. im gonna have new red seats and have the interia all re done.but im unsure what to do,leather or flocking..leather is nice and the smell,, but the flocking looks very clean cut and modern ??? WHAT DO YOU LADS THINK..?? atb adam.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD DAN Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 personally i like the look of flock , with odd bit of carbon and some nice little touches can really make a supra interior look very nice , but ultimately what do you like lol dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest adam b Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 well the flocking is out the window. i was quoted £1200 i nearly fainted. a rip of or what. eny way iv deciced to go with the red leather instead ,my dads mate at aston martin was happy to do it for for the same £1200 but using top grade hide. with white stichin ,. i thought thay would charge about £500 to flock a car,i can buy a top notch set up and start my own bizz for a grand ,. never mind a. its booked in for a month from now,i have to wait for him to finish a corvett ,but his work is well worth the wait.

Guest adam b Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) work is coming along nicely on the bomex type 2 front that i bought from adam haywood. i will post up the pics tonight as were on a family day out today. i have a custom wide arch kit that we put on the car so ther is no bumper that fits, accept maybe the trd, the bomex type 2 come up for sale on here and as you dont see this one much ,and its one of my favorite fronts i choose this one its of a jurgen car so i know its not a copy and at £220 i was very happy with my buy. some stress points are needing done and some side pieces needed added to meet the wide arch wings. steve a chap who used to work for tvr. he is a top fiberglass bloke who far exceeds my skill i have put the car in his hands now as iv took it as far as i could. he will go over the car with a fine tooth comb and get eny high or low bits that i dont see.

Guest adam b Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 At this stage im rebuilding the car these pics show the slow process of putting a supra back together . i really like doing this my self cos i know that its been put together right and carefully done. ,,thers nothing like putting parts back on with freash paint. all the rubbers have been black wax treated to a nice matt finish. all the bolts have been sand blasted and painted to match the part thay fit. The rear windscreen was put back in at this stage,using brand new rubbers and mouldings. The side windows was also fitted using new sealent ,,its nice to see the glass go in. The wheels back on ,,these are not the new wheels ,iv got my GTC,s going on. but even these advans look good .IMO. in white it looks so good .the rear hand made arches just look the dogs danglers IMO ,thay flow just right blended..
