Noz Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Dash looks loads better. You definitely got a good match on the paint code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Liking the dash mate, much better, the old one was something I never liked. The new look is really nice. Loving the card board cover, I think you will start the next big thing in mods. Thanks Adam very happy with how it came out. Card board looks great doesn't it. 'Cardboard wrapping' the whole car next Dash looks loads better. You definitely got a good match on the paint code. Yeah the match is very close indeed, thanks for the recommendation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Started laying the fibre glass today, left it to dry in the trusty shed over night. Think its going to need more layers than first thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Today had a bit of time after work so removed the fibreglass from the mould, this is a test version with two layers of matting, ideally I want this to be enough, as I do not want it to sit to proud from the bumper. We shall see if it works or not, but really pleased with how its fitting currently. Took ages to cut it and sand/file into shape! Also got my new calliper through too .

ripped_fear Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Not much to report, apart from I now have the new calliper fitted on the rear, next I am going to fit a new OEM aux belt tensioner, (need to order) as mine is rattly. I have also go the exhaust surround skimmed so need to rub it down tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Got a bit more done on the exhaust surround today, Had it skimmed in filler and rubbed it down today, going to give it another skim then it should be nearly ready for the wrapping. Also a picture of it on the ramps yesterday, just because i like the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Your supra is super clean dude good work, are you planning a TT transplant or buying a "proper" TT. Thanks mate. Well i change my mind daily on this matter, but I think I will probably just buy another supra a TT6 and start over have also considered a NA-T, but my constant worry is weather or not the W58 would hold up.

safcdixon Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Yeah it's not worth risking the w58 but they have been proven too hold decent power (for a while anyway) I be a bit gutted after putting lots of work into this one then selling it, TT6 peh!!!! auto is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
