brom86 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Well got myself my first supra few weeks back and though would start small build thread.

jim Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Tints look great Craig, and I agree on the exhaust lol, what did you do to quieten it down bud? I'm gutted that the headlights haven't cleared, I have a front on pic of the car a few days before selling and they're crystal clear, don't know if it was something to do with sitting unused for a while then the heat of the engine and the drive to Belfast in the rain that caused it. I know you're on the lookout for some new lights but I'd persevere with those if you can before giving up as the clear lenses and black inserts really look good when they're not steamed up.

Supraleeturbo Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I think when cleaned right black is the best colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brom86 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 New chrome heater and air vent surrounds fitted, air vents were easy but the small fan speed one was a nightmare and if u look at the clock it took me half an hour nearly for 1 haha anyway looks good and happy with results. Planning on removing the dash though next month and doing a plasti dip finish on all interior panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brom86 Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Got my mate to make me polished aluminum dash knobs. They look great and go really well with the chrome rings.

brom86 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Well its been a very very busy day today however a wouldn't of done half of it if it wasn't for westy!! Cheers again dude!! Changed the chrome intake back to stock, changed my broken door close mechanism which turned out to be a cu#t of a job, painted all calipers from green to red, gave the cam covers a lick of paint along with the screws which would look good but one side was broke and it needed alot of prep so done a quick fix for now. Door card arms were wrecked, the leather lifted at both sides which was weird so again thanks to westy changed them for his old mint condition ones!! All in all car is coming along. Few more bits needing touched up but am getting there Edited August 18, 2014 by brom86 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
