The damage doesn't look too bad at all, lucky :) Good to see you doing things the right way and getting it on a jig, so many wouldn't bother with such an important check!

 

Ebay is the best bet for the lamps, they're obviously not near as good quality as the Toyota ones, but are about 1/3rd of the cost. My old ebay ones have been on the car for 7 years and still look new.

 

If you do want Toyota ones, the part numbers are available on the forum.

you have got to get the front end in the right place or nothing will fit . but as you say im sure there would be people out there that would not bother . Rich.

Well i had all this pictures on my phone and i could not get them off but now i have a new phone i have got them all on the computer so i can finish this thread off .

i started by taking the side skirts off today so i could get the sill clamps on and got the supra on the jig

image

 

I had to give it a right good pull to the right and down as you look at the picture ,i had to move the chassis legs about 3 inch in the end to get bonnet gaps again .but it came out real nice in the end .

The front bolt on part of the front panel is well twisted up and i have ordered a new one from toyota and i need to get a new indiator / side light lamp as one is smashed but they are not standard ones so i need to find out where i can get one or a pair from but i have everything now / its on order apart from that lamp so i should have all the panel work done for the end of the week .

Ok i removed the front section of the front panal as it was all twisted up i paid £46 for it i did not think that was bad at all .

image

 

I then refitted the new panal and tried the headlights in to makes sure everything fitted nice

image

image

 

Then i pop the bumper on to complete the front and check all gaps .

image

On to repairs and repaired the dent on the wing and the dent small dents in the inner wing .

I did all the panel work and repairs myself and my brother is a painter so he did the paint work for me , the workshop all the panel work was done in was where i used to work i got made redundant 8 weeks ago .

but on the upside the picture with the car on the dyno . That unit and dyno is mine so a can put all my time into my own bussiness now .

Im well please to have the old girl back up and running
