safcdixon Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Finally got the wings and front bumper mounted after a lot of little jobs needed doing first, also got the dash back in after sorting the wiring loom out and feeding my cable through for the battery and washer relocation, heres some piccies of the supra with the bumper and wings mounted, I absolutely love the look of this now I did say that the bumper would be primered unfortunately I had an accident (Doh) and dropped the last of my primer after mixing it and pouring it into the gun Ive still loads of finishing on the bodywork to do on the front wings and where I filled the exhaust exit. I wish it was done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safcdixon Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 So last weekend I Fitted my Aerocatches to my new/old stock bonnet, what a total pain these are to fit I wish I had just fitted the stock ones back on now, had problems lining them up with the bolts, which ended up being because the bonnet wasn't fitted straight, Doh!! Anyway they are done now pics Im really struggling to find any push to get this finished, im getting really aggravated/bored easily, so im only doing a little bit at a time, I simply wish I hadn't started, having not driven it since September im becoming very frustrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you lay down some paint the enthusiasm will rush back! Im sure it will but getting forward too that moment is proving to be difficult I know the feeling fella, mine should be finished within the month, just niggly bits to sort. I don't know how you've stayed sane with it Joe yours has been a long long time now, you decided on a colour yet? I was hoping to have mine painted by the end of april but that doesn't look like it gonna happen now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Well it been a long time! Things didnt go to plan at all over the last two month but things are getting back on track now, I primered the supra last night so today after work it guide coat and the last of the filling and sanding, i could already see a few imperfections once the shine of the primer went on, its so hard to see them when the paint is flat So hopefully thursday/friday night will be basecoat and laquer which will give me saturday to wet finish and rebuild the car (this requires all going well which isnt likely ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Only one pic as the rest are on my digi camera but heres a pic of the front in primer, ive one days worth of work to do before the basecoat goes on theres a lot of little pin holes and scabby bits of filler need sorting first but seeing as my progress has been abit cack lately its better than nowt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
