jonny mac Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 clutch pedal came from Toyota Arnold clark Aberdeen, I can supply the list of part numbers if you need, there are loads it's likely easier to buy from a seller on ebay as there are a few guys on there selling full kits cheaper than I paid for Toyota Aberdeen from memory all my interior is going back in the car in a few weeks time, i'm currently waiting on one of the last few brand new oem Toyota heater matrix's arriving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny mac Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) bought a 2jz gte engine which turned out to be a write off basically, head was badly scored from oil stavation, crank was in a poor state as woodruf key was worn and flopping around, kind of wrote the whole project off for me as it was an expensive loss. seller blocked me after asking for a refund etc. the usual.

jonny mac Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 i sold the vehicle, can a moderator delete this thread please. i've purchased another car now and wil start a build thread about it once i've done some work on it treated myself to a proper spec supra tt6, no more messing around tryin to build a supra out of 2nd hand parts. After all the hassle and stuff i had with this shell i decided to just cut my losses and move on. There wasn't much point in going further. this car is now on route to america. so i'm just moving forward and bought myself a new tt6 so no hassle of building from scratch etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a great wake up call for people thinking in 2021 you can make a Supra on the cheap. Those days are long gone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
