Dnk Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I could get these in my landcruiser but its a 300 mile round trip so would hurt in diesel costs. If your stuck let me know, would be approx £100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) What's the saying? Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining? If I wanted to speak to an arsehole I'd bend over? Etc etc. H. Well I spoke the truth didn't I! I'm sure many people thought exactly that, I was the only one who had the nerve to say it. I wouldn't have said one word if he'd admitted some responsibility.

I wouldn't have said one word if he'd admitted some responsibility. At what point in any of my posts bit i not admitted some responsibility , Of course it was my fault i was driving ,I was just stating that the cheap tyres were shit and that did not help .What is the point you are trying to make ?

richarde7927 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Ok well i took the side skirts off today so i could get the sill clamps on and got the supra on the jig 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 .
