Kilps Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) I just bought my first Supra. Well, it was about two weeks ago actually, but only just got round to doing this. It's a gun metal grey J-Spec TT6. I don't know a whole lot about them, but I've already learnt a lot from this forum (cheers everyone!) It needs a few bits doing and some tidying up, but generally I think it's in pretty good nick. I don't mind buying cars that need things doing, it gives them character I've already sorted some of the bits, but there's plenty more to do, I'm pretty picky! I'll have a 'wanted' thread up soon for all the bits I need. I'll have pictures of it soon, when I get the CD with them on from my mate. Or you can search through the recent 'for sale' thread on here and guess which grey one it is! EDIT: Pictures added! http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=165905&stc=1&d=1363388582 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=165906&stc=1&d=1363388582 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=165907&stc=1&d=1363388582 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=165908&stc=1&d=1363388582 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=165909&stc=1&d=1363388582 Edited March 15, 2013 by Kilps (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilps Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Cheers for the warm welcome! I'll have pictures up as soon as I get them. My mate fancies himself as a bit of a photographer you see, so I had him take some decent pictures. I haven't seen them yet, so hopefully they've come out alright!

James Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Looks good. Not a fan of the front bumper personally. Love the wheels white TE-37s sure look the business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilps Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Supra_Gaz, I think I drove past you a week or so back, outside the BMW garage by Stephenson Way... it looked similar to your pic anyway! HateEvent, I'm not a huge fan of the bumper either... I plan to change it as soon as I get used to the length of the car and stop crashing it into kerbs/speedbumps/just about anything! Though it'll have to wait 'til I've done all the more important boring jobs like brake pads and replaced that filthy air filter... Also... I'll have a thread up somewhen soon about wheel colour... they're not staying white for long!

James Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Good any idea on what bumper you're leaning towards? Stock always works Ah gutted about colour change on the wheels! I love them as they are! They would go great on my Supe (White) though on yours they may end up nicer in a darker colour! Great design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilps Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 HateEvent, I'm looking at this front bumper or something very similar, with a Trial rear. The wheels will probably end up about that sort of black colour as well. I wouldn't say no to that orange for the whole car either, but it'll be some time before that happens, if at all. bigsupra, it's a 1996 J-Spec facelift. Thankyou to everyone for the welcomes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 i'm pretty sure it's a crime to respray a gunmetal car a different colour.. clean looking car though, i'd have a good think about what you want for the body work.. have a look on http://www.supraforums.com too and check out some of there cars for inspiration and welcome to the club.
