ShawnPreece Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Yesterday was an exciting day where I took the 6 hour each way trip up to Newcastle from Hereford to pick her up and bring her home Have to compliment Paul at Scuffed n Curbed bodyshop in another amazing job on her, totally worth the long journeys to make sure the job is done perfect A few snapshots from the day.... Outside the workshop when I turned up.... Loading.... The Journey home.... 1:20am when home but had to take a pic.... And a cheeky morning shot from this morning ....

ShawnPreece Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 A week off work last week meant good progress with this. First I sprayed up the new driftworks suspension ready to go in (went for black just to hide them away as they are not so noticeable) A photo of her up on the ramp and ready.... The old Tein coilovers ready to come off... My old Tein coilover next to the new Aragosta coilover waiting to go on... Aragosta coilover fitted... Rear Tein coilover and standard suspension ready to come off... Tein coilover and suspension arms all removed and then the inner arch wire brushed and undersealed... Driftworks suspension arms fitted... Aragosta coilover and downgraded j spec rear brakes fitted (so I can fit 15 inch drag radial's over)... J spec rear calipers added... A few coats of paint on the calipers... A fresh extra coat of paint on the front UK Calipers... Had the diff down and cleaned off before replacing oil and refitting (photo updates went awol here as only have a photo of the oil but will take more of it soon)... Couldn't help but rest the numberplate in place for a sneaky photo... Fitted the twin walbro E85 450lph fuel pumps to the hanger, really proud of how tidy it came out with the fixings and wiring... Im picking my new wheels up from Lee on friday then next job is routing the wiring and mounting the toucan for the syvecs and the shell's about ready to put the new engine in.

ShawnPreece Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Nice work dude. Glad to see shes coming back. Look at the sky! Looks like a lovely day to do supra work Thanks mate yeah was a lovely week was quite lucky with the weather I cannot wait to see this in the flesh again at Wroxall. Great update like the suspension. Are they any good from driftworks? haha thanks mate cant wait to see your beast in the flesh too Iv never tried them personally but only heard great reviews for them, was chatting to James (little num) at one of the local meets as he uses them and he speaks very highly of them and with the amount of track abuse that car see's I took that as a great recommendation lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnPreece Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Just an update on timing... I did have mapping booked for 10th July but unfortunately iv had to move this date back, the shell is all ready but just awaiting on the engine (through no fault of Tims, the machine shop he uses decided to not tell us that they were going on a 3 week holiday which screwed us over abit on times). New mapping date though is 2nd August (5 weeks yesterday) so providing all go's to plan then cant wait for that date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnPreece Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 All along I had been trying my best to get everything sorted to enjoy some of summer with it (hate modifying in summer, summers for driving ) but its seeming everything is going to be a real push and abit tight so because of the magnitude of this build iv decided im not rushing it at all so iv cancelled my mapping date and will put alot more into it over the coming and winter months to improve it even more than it was going to be and will make sure I have it on the road for march/april time next year instead to ensure a top quality product and will have a great summer with it next year Keep peeled for updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
