Supratoc1990 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 hey people I am from Ire land and on the 23/9/2012 I bought my first Supra after saving up since I was about 12 years old I finally stumbled on this car the car is a Toyota supra twin turbo j-spec automatic 95000km 1995 these were the images I seen when it was for sale as ye can see the bodywork was done when I bought it and it had been fully resprayed in a lighter Toyota red which looks beautiful unfortunately the rear wheels do not meet rear arches because all natural body work is still underneath... and again it is all flush and door locks are flush too car had a lot of niggley little faults that just didn't adequately show its beauty steering wheel seats/with rips boot lid wouldn't stay open and carbon bonnet wouldn't close properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supratoc1990 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) these are just a few pics of the car when I brought her home after a 3.5 hour journey and petrol prices at the time I was well broke when I came home <a href=" /> <a href=" /> <a href=" /> <a href=" /> <a href=" /> Edited March 11, 2015 by Supratoc1990 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuneR Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Where abouts are you from mate? Any plans to sort the bodywork so real wheels will fit although it would be expensive id say? Looks similar to one that was broken in Cork here. I have an old Supra wheel you can have if you want but i think there's a tear in it. Ill have a look at its covered in dirt/grime.

Supratoc1990 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 right so first things first when I got home I couldn't stand the steering wheel so that had to ... sadly the one that was in it got jammed in a vice and died a horrible death I moved on to this a little tacky I must admit but I like it <a href=" /> <a href=" /> after the wheel was fitted with a snap off kit I then went and bought a FMIC from SSI (supra specialist Ireland) first time dealing with them and excellent people really know there stuff <a href=" /> <a href=" /> so of course fitted that instantly out with the old in with the new <a href=" /> <a href=" /> then it was time to prep for a clean nothing major just keep it looking good!!!

Supratoc1990 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 so I had to get the exhaust fixed immediately because well it was a disaster and trying to find someone to fix it was difficult. although he was a mechanic who was an hour and a half away but here is the results then after I got that sorted it was getting sorted for mondello and at the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
