Why T Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Nice project mate, not sure id have broken a genuine car (bar the rust i can see) but im getting old lol. Is your missus alright? In the first pictures shes moving around and then it looks like her head is in a bag on top of the Supra http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=191419&stc=1&d=1410809132 Haha yea she was getting on my nerves so I sorted her out haha. It's not rust at all, it's dirty water when my radiator exploded. A lot of people say I'm nuts but it's something I have always wanted to do.

TheTurtleshead Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I think you need to talk to member 'aaronssupra' He bought the below SP1 Wheels from me with the intention of doing a wide-body project on the car... I don't think he ever got round to it. I think they'd look epic on this car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why T Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 They are nice dude but the rims that have come with the car were custom built for the car and are worth a fortune, plus I love them haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Are the custom wheels the ones in the pictures on the previous page? Black Mesh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why T Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yes they are mate. there not custom design but size width and et Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why T Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 So a lot has been done over the past few days, got the diff out, drive shaft. brake pump cylinder is out. just waiting on a engine stand then the engine is coming out. In the mean time i can start on the fortune, arrived on Saturday and again had problems with the transport company, little to say i will not be using them again. So got it into the garage, cleaned it all out, had a glance at what is there, found two of these beauts. I just need to decide if they are gonna be front and rear or on the wings????? Took all the body work off today and the build of this kit is flawless, strong, clean and really sleek. so happy with it, looks even more amaze balls in the flesh. cannot wait to get this car on the road.

Why T Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 special haha, dont know if that a compliment or insult lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Consider it as a compliment It breaks the Supra lines heavily, but I do like it. I have seen it in flesh once at Lee's... a very impressive appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Really wouldn't be my choice on kit this however I can appreciate the workmanship of it, and its looks very well built. Loveing the updates too as its nice to follow something a little different. One thing though, although those wheels are gorgeous think it would benefit from some spacers on the rear, although they are wide they look a little lost. Keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing though, although those wheels are gorgeous think it would benefit from some spacers on the rear, although they are wide they look a little lost. Keep up the good work Yea i am planning on the spacers but it is raised fully to get on the trailer and lee told me that once everything is in the car it should fit right. but you are right it does need them. It is very well built, the quality is amazing Consider it as a compliment It breaks the Supra lines heavily, but I do like it. I have seen it in flesh once at Lee's... a very impressive appearance. Yea im the same, i love the look of the rear of a supra however i have always like different and always wanted a car that no one else has that looks the same. Nice to see you finally got her home buddy, looking forward to the updates thanks mate, was so excited when it was here always had a soft spot for the fortune kit. looks good. best of luck with the build Thanks mate. gonna be long but in the end will be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why T Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 so today i found out that the rear hubs of the fortune are no good, the near side is missing two studs for the wheel nuts and the off side wheel bearings have gone, so going to have to swap over both rear hubs with disks. Tighten everything and then i can start on the fueling and break lines to the rear before putting the diff, drive shaft and drive arms. getting there slowly but surly. only doing an hour or so work a night so its slow.
