ripped_fear Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Nice update. Well done coming along great. Good luck with the rear window, recon that won't be an easy task. Maybe easier and cheaper to get a plastic one made. Or as a temporary measure could you not tint your current window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why T Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Some random pics for y'all from the weekend. Absolutely love the rims also fitted with the neo chrome lugs. Rear window fitted and sealed. Also a random shot from the nearside. I have to move everything as I'm changing workshops so all the body work is going to be put on the car to move it. Will take some pics. Kinda looking forward to all the panels back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why T Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 So over the weekend i had to move workshops dude to the one i was useing being handed back to garrison QM's. So I put the body kit back on the car just to make it easier to move. And its making me impatient. Pictures do not give it justice. Looks so much better in the flesh. Any way here are some pics. Couple of the lads giving me a hand. Bloody idiots haha. And her she is tucked up in the new place. Much bigger than the last and a HEATED room for the engine when i start work on it. Oh joys So obviously had to move the black one to the new place as well. Halfway there. Bang!!!!!!! Luckily I changed all the hubs from the black one to the new one. Would not have been happy if this happened to the fortune haha. :/ Needless to say the black one will Definitely be Broken now. Ric came to visit and have a look on Sunday night as well. Top block. Nice to have met him So this week I will be working on the engine. Watch this space. Thanks for looking guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why T Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 So today i started with the engine. I never realized how much gunk was on this engine. Its quite embarrassing. But this is how the engine came from the person who sold it to me I'm afraid. So a couple picks before I started. So I started to clean the engine as best I could but I think it needs a industrial style clean as it is really bad. I then started to fit parts here and there after the attempt at cleaning. New seals for the cam covers. Then fitted the one side with the new PHR oil cap. Refurbed PS pump with NA res all painted and polished By RobM Painted rear engine hook by RobM aswell Polished fan belt dampener thingy, RobM again lol. Fitted other cam cover, Coil packs in. Front hook, temp spark plug cover. Polished lower water neck. (looks horrible with that water pump.) Polished Alternator as well. Yes you guessed it, all done by RobM Thanks buddy. I am just putting the engine back together so it can be transported in the car back to the uk. Then it will be taken out again to be finished. Thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Getting there mate. Looks nice. I would change the cam cover fittings to black though, blue and red looks wrong against the green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Looks good, I would also say change the cam cover fittings to the shiny black, would complement the green much better. Thats just my opinion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why T Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Unwrapped the turbo from RobM. Shiney Shiney. I fitted it back to the rest of the turbo & Manifold. Then test fitted it back to the engine just so I could have a look. Really happy with it. I then fitted the Tial waste gate and screamer pipe. Love the sound if this thing. I have no idea what mm the waste gate it though.7 So now I wait till I get a package from Rob with a couple more bits then the engine will be going in hopefully. I also put the the rear lights back on and tinkered with the rear bumper to make it fit better. I know, I know ruins the lines of the supra and people don't like it. but I do Also played with the roof to get it fitting better. Now it sits flush on the front and rear, just not the sides Please excuse the pics, lights was terrible. Thanks for reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done a little bits hear and there but there will be updates tomorrow That one for sale looks really badly done. Yours on the other hand The light cover on the other one iirc are actually the veilside covers that come with the original kit. Horrendous admittedly, but there you go. I always (and still do) want either a TS Evolution Supra, or a Veilside Fortune one. I am rather jealous of yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
