DaveR Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Very nice. Looks like a good choice. There are a few "out there" wheels that just don't look right on a Supra - understated and practical is the way forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippyboyo1 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Bit of an update for you. ive just booked the supra in for a full re-spray to freshen it up abit along with this im having oem sideskirts,rear spats and a plastic front lip spoiler fitted (when i get it from america),im also having the arches rolled to make room for my new wheels so its going over to the bodyshop on the 29th of this month and will be gone for 3 weeks or so. ive done it backwards i know with putting the dash etc back in first but if im honest my plan was not to give the car a full re-spray however the guy whos doing it has promised he'll look after the car so thats good to know plus ive been over and seen some of his work now so im quet happy with my choice.got some droplinks to fit in the meantime which have arrived today and my carbon dash panels are due back latest monday so i can finaly finish the interior.

skippyboyo1 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 and started to fit the parts back into the car however when i got my clock surrounds back the guy had put chrome rings on by mistake,my thoughts straight away were they would not suit the look ive gone for but i tried them anyway and decided i liked them plain black so i had the chrome rings removed and then re-fitted.

skippyboyo1 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 so then i set about fitting the steering wheel,now i knew that id have to make adjustments but this job (with the help from the guy next door in the pic) took about 3 hours,i wont bore with the details but the spacing needed sorting as the stalks were too close to the wheel itself,with some small fabrication and a lot of swearing we managed to get it how i wanted it.

skippyboyo1 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) So apart from the arm rest and the kick plates the interior is almost finished,now its time start getting it ready for the body shop so its had a wash as it was much needed after being sat for 2 months and ive removed the rear wiper as its getting smoothed out.
