Not much for me to be honest. I will be changing all fluids like gearbox, diff etc but mainly to use it a bit more and go to a few shows this year. I might get it into the bodyshop to have the front wings extended to match the Do-Luck bumper but don't want to lose the look of the wheel being flush with the wing.

 

To be honest im more looking forward to getting a track bike this year and doing another Ron Haslam track bike day lol, Looking at a old GSXR 750 or 1000.. Something within 2k budget

Did I see pics of you on the bike on a drag strip wearing jeans JP??? BIG cohones lol :D

 

I got a rocket bunny ducktail spoiler for Christmas, so that's first up this year although probably not until March - I want to paint the bootlid, bonnet and roof when the spoiler is being fitted. Currently undecided on whether to colour code it or go satin black to match the active front spoiler.

Probably sell the diff and 6 speed gearbox to generate some much needed funds.

 

Then finish off the revamp of the subframes.

Rear is complete so front to go.

 

If the gearbox and diff go, drop engine and clean up and do a few other jobs like wrapping the manifold etc, clean up all pipes, fit new intercooler.

 

Probably seal and protect the underside.

And maybe work towards a colour change.

 

Get the wheels refurbed and colour change at some point.

 

And work on a few exterior changes and mods.

 

Have an idea for a new spoiler so may work on that.

 

All in between my little boy and a new arrival of a girl in May :/

Now I've got the parts I need I'll be having a good look behind the dash. Expecting quite a mess of wiring with the plethora of gadgets that the dash came adorned with. Remove most of it apart from the defi stuff (which I will try to hide/place more discretely) and make sure the wiring is all satisfactory.

 

Then after that a good comprehensive service.

Can't believe I am saying this, but not to waste my money by returning to a Supra.

 

Reason being, the rubbish that has come up for sale recently and when some of the the good ones come up for sale, I just cannot justify dipping into my spare cash and spend £20k+ on one.

 

2 cars that I have an urge to return to is the Supra and Classic Mini, so may venture back to a Mini.

 

Also want to try and get my bike licence this year.

Get the Navara a bit more off-road orientated. I have a snorkel, 52" curved light bar, steel front winch bumper, spot lights and axle vent extensions to fit. Needs a new set of A/T boots too.

 

Get my boat ready for exploring the country's waterways. 40hp engine fitted and tested over the Christmas break and she's a peach! Now to make it comfortable for a few days onboard.

 

Get the rest of the Supra bits & bobs sold!
