ripped_fear Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Just got 'round to going back through this. Glad it's all sorted Jake. The Supra is looking as good as ever, good work. Thanks mate, Great to finally have her back. Will shoot over in the next couple of weeks for a catch up once the car is back to her former glory. Couple of pictures of some new bits- New handbrake and a set of very tatty facelifts which I'm going to have a go a refurbing myself.

ripped_fear Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Been working on the car since this morning and got a few bits done, Refitted the Rad plinth and Slam pannel, but after allot of faffing about I have decided to leave the stainless battery covers off, as after allot of playing around it really isnt that safe. So going to trim it down a bit and fit again at some point. I also set about taking out the random power cable out that had bee tucked in my bay since I bought the car, looks like an old amp power lead. After tracking it back I found a mountain of wiring all redundant so got all the crap out of there. But had to take apart half the interior in the process lol. Then gave her a good clean. I have also sent two sets of rad clamps in to be polished one for my bay, one to be chromed then fitted to my bay, and my current ones will be up for sale soon. That's all for today. INTERIOR -LED ac unit -LED dials or new plasma dials -New Steering wheel -New OEM Handbrake -Black Carpets -Guage? -Make custom sub box -Fit a sub and amp EXTERIOR -Removable Number plate -Re SPray front end -Re Spray Rear bumper and spoiler -Make front splitter -Carbon Exhaust surround- need to finish -ZUN mesh -New wheels -Re furb my spair facelift headlights+ de line the lenses UNDER THE BONNET -Re fit slam pannel -Re fit Rad plinth -Re fit battery cover Staying off -Make ABS cover -Fill holes -Paint in 199 silver MECHANICAL -Flush coolant systeme -Toyoat red coolant change -Fit new slidders to off side front claiper -Paint rear calipers -Fit Supra decals to rear calipers -Fit lowering springs -Second De cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks Once I have it back, im going to fit all the new bits then fill the holes and paint under the bonnet, and that's the bay done apart from two of those SRD boxes. Then I'm back onto tackling the outside. Going to have a load of paint work done in November so when I sell it she is in a1 condition.

I know you love this car but its money your never gonna get back Yep I will be selling up, but its not going to cost me too much as dad is a professional car painter by trade. I want the car looking its best so it sell easy enough, and goes to someone who cares about it. Plus who knows how long it will be before I find my perfect TT6 so I want to carry on playing with this one for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
