Ric Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I was going to do the roof lining, but mine is an aero and prone to leak, i dont know if it will work as they are a different fabric True, wouldn't fancy ruining it should it fail lol I dyed my aerotop headlining, it doesn't come out as great as the carpets, as the pile is a lot shorter, however it doesn't look bad. Have a look in my build thread - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?307040-Project-Ric-s-Gunmetal-Ridox-Now-Painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie_k83 Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Finally got my new steering wheel boss today, just needs the horn button to finish Ordered a double drilled one so i have a broader choice of wheels to go for when I want to ditch this one. Apart from the Grey Carpet and Roof Lining though, its all coming together Edited December 7, 2015 by Richie_k83 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Just been speaking to Tein UK and managed to score myself a nice deal on set of Tein Street Flex Coilovers, should be here late next month...! Can't wait, Suspension is currently like that of a 60's muscle car lol Edited December 7, 2015 by Richie_k83 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Nice work so far What have you put on your hand brake lever and gear knob in the above pics though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Nice work so far What have you put on your hand brake lever and gear knob in the above pics though Thanks bud. Its just some grip tape from Driftworks, the shifter and handbrake levers have serious wear on them so wrapped em in that, gonna change it for black once i get a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered getting them re-trimmed? Shouldn't be a major expense and a nice subtle mod to set yours apart from the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Not considered it yet, but its an option, Alcantara would be nice and match my arm rests, just expensive...

Richie_k83 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Been bad this week, aside from the Coilovers, I have now ordered front and rear Swaybars and adjustable Drop-links from Whiteline UK. I had the links in stock already but the bars are expected to arrive mid next week, Also ordered some Black interior Dye for the Roof Lining and Carpet, should keep me busy for a while...

Cant wait to tear it all off and overhaul it..! http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/08/22/e25cfda123272d2609b5a526df788992.jpg Also ordered some interior dye to black the roof lining and carpet, should keep me busy for a while... As bodge-tastic as this will sound.. I would consider good old satin black for the head lining. It sounds ropey but really does work a treat. I found the carpet dye just wouldn't cover the head lining for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie_k83 Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Interior Dye is on its way, and since it's Bank Holiday, took the opportunity to gut the interior, Theres a few wires and bits that need tidying behind the panels etc and the Carpet could do with a damn good clean. With the carpet and seats out, i took the opportunity to wet vac them. Carpet came up ok too but going to look much better in Black, Edited December 7, 2015 by Richie_k83 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Got cracking with the the Carpet Dye & Roof Lining, please excuse the crap quality pictures, Sprayed it on, let it all dry and chucked it back in, has made such a difference! Even the Red is starting to look great! Also wrapped the Handbrake and Shifter in Black. Everything is looking better already Next on the list, I need to remove more Red paint, this time off the rear interior panels and fit a new horn button....

Richie_k83 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Managed to have a tinker today. Winter is just around the corner so decided to make a start with the Waxoyl. Scrubbed down the rear arches with a wire brush, Threw down a coat of Waxoyl and stripped and cleaned the Calipers, changed the Pads and gave em a lick of paint. Cambelt and Coolant change tomorrow... Edited December 7, 2015 by Richie_k83 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Changed the Cambelt today, wasnt too bad at all. Coolant and Auxiliary Belt was changed too, Was joined by fellow Supra owner DrMoz who also changed his Belts AC Pump Bearing has had it and is grumbling now the belts been changed.. Think I'm gonna tear it out at some point, the Condensor is shot and there's no Gas in the system either..
