Kendo11 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Looks absolutely epic mate. Couple of questions, what colour is the dash painted? Where did you get the monkey dials from? I know the usual website but have you got them cheaper anywhere else? What did your bodywork guys do with the fuel filler cap, is it a new one linked in to the release catch in the cabin?

Thanks mate The dash is BMW space grey, the dials I ordered direct from there website (£85 plus £7 postage) and yep it's a new filler cap that is hinged from the original ones place and clicks into the same place too so works nicely off the standard release catch, the only downside to it is that although is chamfered to give abit extra room it's still very tight getting the fuel pump nossle in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Last night I fitted the wheels, the Carbon Air Diverters and the LED rear lights I also fitted the “Supra” logo and the Toyota badge (Likwidart badges) later on thanks to the help of Callum (Calsupra on here) who bought his car round so we could get accurate placement of the badges so thankyou to Cal for that. It was later on when we done the badges so the pictures below are before we fitted them. Anyway here are some pics of it (excuse the dirtiness and the wet as it was raining last night while working on it)…….

supra matt Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Very nice mate have you thought about doing some black on the wheels to break up the white a bit? My be black dish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Very nice mate have you thought about doing some black on the wheels to break up the white a bit? My be black dish? cheers mate thats a good idea actually that would probably look nice... I hadn't really thought of it to be honest mate no cos just been so busy putting everything together to really stand back and look at it properly to decide what else to change lol, definitely will consider that though that might look good but will just get the last couple of bits finished first then stand back and look at everything together to see what else I can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra matt Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Or you could do black spokes as then you will keep the dish, Or if you wonted to be a bit different you could do red spokes to complement the red interior :-), But she has turned out beautifully mate top work:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnPreece Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Well wow what a weekend, I got the Supra finished Friday night after a long week of trying to get it ready for JapFest and the sun was shining nicely Saturday for the show which made it look good and was approached by Fast Car Magazine while I was there for an interview with me which was nice to know that all my efforts through this project have been rewarded Here are a few pictures of it as it is now: And here is me in the background while I was being interviewed: Edited July 20, 2017 by ShawnPreece (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
