Muffleman Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Check out the engine bay of the silver Supra from this trader http://www.japaneseimportsltd.co.uk/GetDealer.do?did=20024&pageid=1 Hmmm, curious - certainly not a 3litre twin turbo as advertised !

Ewen Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 First cut off the affected part and attach a supporting spur. This involves temporarily supporting the fence and then digging a hole around the post about 60 cm square and 30 cm deep. Saw off the rotten part of the post once it is completely exposed and bolt on the concrete spur - 15 cm or 20 cm coach bolts are suitable. The straight face of the spur should be against the post. When it is in position, use a spirit level to check it is upright. Hardcore should then be packed around the bottom of the spur and the hole filled with a coarse concrete mix, finished at ground level with a slope to drain rainwater off.

Tricky-Ricky Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I went and looked at a Supra there, at the beginning of the year, and it was a real dog! bad panel gaps looked like a badly repaired accident to me, engine sounded dodgy as well, beware!
