(Was dry as a bone until I washed the car and got all the moss out of seals ect) and the car was always outside not under a cover. looking forward to start the process of making it what I’d like it to be here you go mate - if it's still leaking after that then it's one of the drain tubes that have become disconnected under the a pillar/c pillar Edited May 25, 2022 by tayr (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raddys Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I cannot believe you got a supra for £1000 in 2022, that is beyond a bargain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick hood Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Hi guys sorry I couldn’t reply as it wouldn’t let me on here for some reason had a chance to take the interior out to dry the carpet, happy to see it couldn’t be getting wet for long as underneath is solid only place I could see any wet was bottom of the drivers door so might be coming in there. the tubes going down the pillars seem to be working okay and I absolutely soaked the car with the hose from the outside but finding it hard to track it properly so left it uncovered and waiting for some rain to see if it gets wet again. Boot window glass is loose is this supposed to be bonded in or is it on a tight seal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Clift Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Hello matey you also might want to blow the tubes out from the top where you take the roof off. You should feel the air come out by the front wheels and the same on near back wheels. If the pipes are blocked when it rains and fills the tube up water can come in through the top!

jim_supra Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Might be worth renting a smoke machine, will quickly show where a leak is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celicasaur Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Is it wrong that as soon as I saw those wheels, my brain tuned into the Max Power archives in my memory and I thought 'aaaah.....Alba Banks wheels....' I wanted those when I was little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone able to beat 1k? £0 for mine, but you might remember most of the car was missing @Nick hoodcongrats on your purchase, as others have said the price is incredible. No matter what happens to the car you're on a winner! For the leak I'd be checking the top driver side front corner seal (Where the aero roof, front window and side window meet. They're terrible for leaking there. Try some spearing some Vaseline (or other waterproof gel) on the seals and and see if it stops the leak, you might need to replace those f stops the leak. Another area to check is the vapor barrier behind the door card. It may be missing or damaged and can cause water to get into the cabin. There's potentially quite a few places water could be getting in but those are the most common points for what you describe. Also, the rear window should not be loose. I don't know if it's bonded or not but it certainly shouldn't move. That will need fixing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
