DodgyRog Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Well a little update from the bodyshop tonight Jad has painted the door and boot shuts, also he has done the engine bay, mirrors and door handles So I have seen lots of pics of the colour for the first time, other than on a little speed shape It is very bling and full on, but very much going to be a true show car now I have to say I love it, the rest of the Supra won't be in paint for a few weeks now as Jad has a couple of other cars he needs to complete I have seen a few pics of another car with the same or very similar paint, but lets just say it is at totally the other end of the money stakes in Supercar ownership terms To be honest, I really want to see it finished, but I still have a lot of things to sort on my end, so could do with all the extra time I can get at this point Edited February 12, 2015 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Anyone would have thought they are doing a big job, how long does it take to give it a quick spray with the Halfords rattle cans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Anyone would have thought they are doing a big job, how long does it take to give it a quick spray with the Halfords rattle cans? The joys of getting it done for less than half price Mine has to sit in the corner so Jad can earn some money from proper customers lmao I need to get down there and do a few jobs on the Supra to be honest Jad also wants to go over the outside with me, to make sure I am happy with everything before he starts laying any colour down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Really can't wait to see pictures but definitely hold off until it's done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Really can't wait to see pictures but definitely hold off until it's done! I am not going to post a teaser, it's pointless and will be a much better effect when it's totally finished I keep going back and looking at the pics I have, might have to do the 80 mile round trip on Saturday to have a look in person lol Loving it more everytime I go back and look again Edited February 12, 2015 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Got a load more pics sent and a video Did a screen shot showing the door shuts painted, teaser pic below:innocent: All the shuts are now painted and lacquered, as well as the engine bay Jad wants me to go down and start some of the reassembling of the interior trims and engine bay, but my back is screwed again at the minute, so hoping I will be okay for next Saturday Edited February 15, 2015 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudsey Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Now that doesn't help at all!!!!! I'm guessing it's a dark colour? Judging by that photo Rog, are they painting it by brush in underseal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be as dark as it looks Judging by that photo Rog, are they painting it by brush in underseal!

DodgyRog Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Well the polishing continues, spent the day ding the top one in this pic, this is how it started today and a few hours later I have got it to this, really happy with this one, had a bit more time, so used it in the hand sanding stage and it's paid off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 New Silicone arrived today for the newly polished pipe work Got to love Yodel, just dumped it by the bin, lucky it didn't matter that it got wet, no message to say they had left it or anything either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Some super elbow grease there, looking good. You got to love service with a smile, just a shame it wasn't you smiling at the end of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Well spent the day at Dip Demons today, first time I have seen the colour in person other than the original speed shape we did Not disappointed in the final colour at all, really happy with it, it's certainly a big show colour Spent the day putting on a Oil Filter Housing and Heat Exchanger, it was completely missing when WhifBitz did the engine transplant, hence my oil looking black after a few hundred miles. Not a good idea to run a Supra with no oil cooling unless you plan to change the oil every couple of weeks What a pig of a job that is and to make it even worse, the jubilee that is the hardiest to get to decided to spread, so won't tighten, will need to try and get another one on in a couple weeks time when I an down there again Going to spend tomorrow polishing the last couple of bits of pipe, re-polish the Power Steering Reservoir, I am also going to redo the Intercooler side tanks, as I am not happy with the finish on them at the moment Then I only have the Wheels to polish back up and the polishing should be complete I think Plan is to spend every Saturday in March down at Jad's putting the Engine Bay and Interior back together Supra should be in paint by mid March ish, depending on other jobs Edited February 21, 2015 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear the car is progressing, looking forward to seeing what colour you've chosen No WhifBitz never mentioned a few things that were missing or wrong LeeP at SRD sorted most of the issues when I had to replace the knackered Turbo's it came with, but he didn't have a Filter Housing or Exchanger, so it had to wait until I could source and do it myself, in the mean time I have just been doing regular Oil changes, but it doesn't do massive mileage anymore anyway I may get a few haters on the colour, it's not a typical Supra colour but I love it Edited February 21, 2015 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite lucky as Jad has been working on my Supra for 5 years, he does something every winter pretty much It helps he uses it for promotion with his Rex, so he has a reason to make it special Why is yours causing such problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least SRD sorted it out for you though! I had one of mine painted yelllow, who cares if other people like it or not as long as it floats your boat (and it's not pink) - - - Updated - - - Quit all this talking and put up a picture already!
