Sean_Julian Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 After looking over those pictures, I still would be getting the shell with limited slip diff for a bargain. So I'm still going to go ahead and purchase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'm going to be buying the shell and basically all of my parts from a breakers in Leicester that just does supras.. So I can get the bonnet for say £50 and the doors also wouldn't be that much.. I can get the new panel for the front for £110 from the breakers and its brand new. So either way I would be saving money.. And the fact I want a white supra as they are rarer. So makes sense to keep it and I want it as a full on project and have to do every little bit and the rolling shell cost me £750 with a limited slip diff. Wasnt trying to put you off, I love a good build and wish you all the best with it, just wanted to check you know what your getting yourself into. Keron is a top bloke, and you are buying from a trusted trader but I know for a fact he sell some of those items for more, for example the bonnet are £100 all day long, so just be sure with your pricing. The diff is certainly a good point if its a LSD, the AO1B which is the NA LSD sells for around £250-£300 so it is a good item, but if going TT its the wrong gearing so you will still need to change it out.

Sean_Julian Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yeah I know what I'm getting myself in to.. And thankyou for the heads up on the car and damages. Oh right he quoted me around £50 for a bonnet so prices must fluctuate often. So the LSD is useless if going TT 6 speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yep. Got hit by a another vehicle that was the wrong side of the road. I remember the pics.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh right he quoted me around £50 for a bonnet so prices must fluctuate often. So the LSD is useless if going TT 6 speed? I hope you did some research on 6speed box prices (V160 or V161)! Good luck with the build! A massive job you are starting! It is going to be worth it in the end though either way as the prices are climbing lately.

Sean_Julian Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yeah 6 speed gear boxes go from anything from £3500+ but It has to be that one. Yeah I know massive job but will be equally as fun and rewarding in the end! I can count on you guys for help anyway haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yeah I know massive job but will be equally as fun and rewarding in the end! I can count on you guys for help anyway haha Determination and Perserverance are the key, after it got wrecked i remember saying its a shame that its going to waste... Glad to see you are set on bringing it back, will be following with interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_Julian Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yeah I was shown the pictures before hand.. Was such a good looking car, but I'm determined to sort it. Hopefully the small case diff works with a V161 propshaft and the V160 gearbox as I was told it would. Just hope being a manual car won't make a difference??

Sean_Julian Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Manual Gearbox* as the LSD was from a NA auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
