d-_-b Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Some of you may remember me from 3-4 yrs or so back, (most newer members prob won't), but I bought Gaz's sons old supra which during the course of my ownership I built into the below: But after 3-4 years of ownership and hard graft getting her how I wanted her to at least look she was sold and I moved on to other vehicles, the most recent being an RX-7 FD. However, I did always regret selling the supra and when the opportunity arose to purchase another I just had to seize it.. And so that leads to this re-introductory thread of mine... ^^, Hey again all..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's your car going though dude?! My car is doing well old chum. I spent 2 years being off the forum due to blowing my w58, and commuting. Then moved to Paris so the car had an unknown misfire so I was really screwed then! Since then moved back to UK, got a house and have spent past year funding into it. Completely different now man, changed my whole look. Big secret Always loved your style and look. The headlights made it. Inspired me to make my own abflugs!

d-_-b Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Welcome back mate Cheers dude, your car is looking excellent btw! That yellow is so eye catching. Was scrolling around the sections and saw your wheels update and forgot how nice she looked! Hello mate I remember you. Glad you've realised the error of your ways!!! Like we all do. I'm on my 3rd Supra now in 10 years. Can't ever see me letting this one go..... What you after? /QUOTE] Yea tell me about it, watching it leave the drive after the sale was gutting but never thought I would be able to get hold of her again!! Not 100% sure on what the plan is with her at the moment.. I need to have a good look over what's been done, what's finished and what's not quite there to work out what I need to do.. From the initial inspection she is missing front seats and has no engine but I don't have the funds atm to just go and buy a TT motor (the Rex has eaten all my funds at the moment) so might just re-N/A her so she's usable until I can either NA-T or slowly build up a TT motor from parts here and there.

d-_-b Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Your job holding the reigns of the NA-T Group has been held for you. Haha hey David, Cheers buddy, sure there's prob been a fair few new NA-T'ers since?! Is one of the options I'm considering again now with TT motors commanding even higher prices than when I was last on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Starting a build from scratch. Wow, wish I could do that. I would get an NA block and build it from the ground up. Using a TT head, and sourcing different cheap items as they appear. Take the time out to re-do the wiring loom and with all new nuts, bolts, seals and bearing that would last for a lifetime and feel reliable as hell! Jealous!
