magictorch Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 I rent a unit with another supra owner and luckily the rest of the guys there are into motorsport...track, hillclimb,bangor racing and drifting. They all do their own work and we have access to tools, ramp and plenty of advice lol Im crap on the tools so need all the help i can get:D This will be amazing when it's finished! Good luck mate! Where do you do a job like this?? Do you have a big garage or friends in the right places or what?? I want to be able to do more of my car myself, but I only have my (dad's) driveway, so my time is limited by the weather and by how long I can keep my car in pieces before my dad gets pissed off with me using up the driveway! Any suggestions??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Fair play dude, you dont do things by half. The direction of this has changed so much. But it's all good:) Sorry I've not been over for a couple of weeks, with the supe being off the road and over at my parents the 8 mile trip may as well be 8000 miles:d Hopefully hel wont be needing her car for the day soon so should be able to get over.

kill1308 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I think you should get some studs in those thin tyres and take it out when it's snowing Looking good, must be nice to rebuild a car and see it slowly come back to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 God what a load of hassle. Not good matey. I have been looking at a 7475 billet. I will check if they can provide that now to save hassle later. Hope things get better bud watching with interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
