L337 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hi All, Just picked up a NA Auto today Plan is to just tidy her up as a daily, but we will see! Anyway onto some pics, although does anyone know what front bumper and wing this is? Although that didn't stay on long... Aluminium radiator? Random... Pretty straight though! Some sort of exhaust? Sounds OK though Not keen on the wheels, but they're in good shape and have newish tyres on. That's it for now! Although seriously, if anyone wants to collect the spoiler from Rugby, please come take it away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Welcome to the club, the body kit is all veilside apart from the front bumper which is c-west. One thing that seems alarming.... is your radiator just hanging there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L337 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Cool thanks! Not a fan of the spoiler or the front bumper, but handy to know what they are! Not too sure, I will have to have a look tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 This used to be up in aberdeen! I did wonder what happened after Ross sold it to a local guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Welcome You certainly have your work cut out for you, but I've seen nice cars be made from much worse. Along with the previously mentioned radiator issue, there's also brown parcel tape below the air filter, and some overspray. I would be prepared to find some bodges here and there. Hopefully nothing too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptSapphire Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Welcome to the forum. The body does look very clean and straight. What is she is like underside? Is the battery just tied down with wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 No fan shroud either. I'd personally be looking into sourcing & refitting a stock air box/panel filter and a standard rear spoiler (probably find one for £20) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L337 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Haha! Thanks! The front bumper, bonnet, side skirt and driver door have been resprayed in situ with little masking by the looks of it hence the overspray. I did have a good check for crash damage but couldn't find anything concerning. Parcel tape is wrapped around a HID kit (which doesn't work). The electrics in this thing are crazy though, I've found 7 switches that I don't know what they do?! There's a sub woofer and 6x9s in boxes in the boot which dont always work, the door speakers only work with the nav commands. There sun visors are actually screens??! Also think the rear dampers as completely worn out, as speed bumps are comical with all the bouncing afterwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 How much did you pay for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L337 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 I really like the de spoilered look, so hopefully someone wants a veilside spoiler and we can trade tailgates too! Haha! - - - Updated - - - £2300 - was looking at ones double that, but thought with £2k+ in this I would have a nicer car overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X13mgr Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I've got a full na air box. U can have it if u want to collect from south Leicester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I would personally get it checked over by someone who knows Supras well. Start ripping out as much of the aftermarket wiring as you can find, as it is only going to cause you problems down the line Looking forward to seeing you bring it back to its former glory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRX Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Welcome to the forum mate. Needs a little work but will be a nice motor once sorted! Source a standard airbox would be a good starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L337 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 The aftermarket wiring is definitely coming out - can stand crappy wiring! Although there is a Clifford alarm in there with remote start which is pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 If you had double available then with the money you have left to fix little bits here and there, you should hopefully end up with a tidy car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Welcome and good luck - glad you took the rear spoiler off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L337 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 If you had double available then with the money you have left to fix little bits here and there, you should hopefully end up with a tidy car That is the plan! All the ones I've seen for around £4k have been not much better to be fair, plus this only has 104,000kms on it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
