safcdixon Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Sams Rsp Rebuild, As some of you guys know my missus has bought a shell too rebuild from basically the ground up, after abandoning her Glanza project, so Im starting this thread to document the progress of the rebuild for her which she will update, A little history on the car the link below show the new member that bought the car then wrecked it a week or two later, it then sat for nearly 2 yrs with very little progress http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?274098-New-member-from-the-North-East A pic from a Jne meet It then turned up on ebay and Jayjay1374 bought it to break, Sam later seen the car that jayjay was breaking on Instagram and wanted it, but by this point it was basically no more and had been stripped too the bones But after talking to a few members at the Scenestock show she decided she wanted it anyway, Knowing that I had quite a few spares from the silver breaker I had bought I agreed it was worth doing and set about doing a deal and collecting it. New sort after engine a 1jayjayz We gave the subframes a good clean as a few coats of black to protect it as it wasn't looking great With My spare front and rear subframes both fitted, it was rolling again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Rsp bonnet and bumper bought with the shell, fitted (no fitted pic of bonnet will edit later) Spare silver bootlid fitted Old raggy petrol tank cover removed Another spare of mine Spare rack and steering wheel fitted Rear loom on the passenger side had been chopped by jayjay as he thought it was going to be scrapped, so I had the lush job of soldering the 24 (some hideously small) wires back together happily the other side just plugged back in I still have the major bodywork on the drivers ill to repair, the sill repair is in place and no major damage was caused in the crash the previous owner had been in, it had mearly Flattened the sill along the showing edge, and bent a lower wishbone on the rear but nothing overly major. The new/used sill is currently tacked now after I had to remove it after the previous owner had over lapped the door area and the part hidden by the sidepods, which was awful!, so ive cut it off and started again, Il get that finished over the weekend as I burnt my eye and face tacking it on Wednesday Sam will be updating the thread from now Edited October 3, 2014 by safcdixon (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Gives Marc something to do) I've got doors off Marc's car as he put the silver breakers doors on his. Got D/S wing off Ross so just need the n/s wing, it's getting there, as Marc has a garage full of supra parts so putting them on mine Also got some front leather seats off suprasteveo and rear ones off ebay. Still got loads to get yet, but I'll get there. Will update with pictures tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
