Supra is Done!!!!! Look below for pics...
Just picked up this GTS. Me being a Toyota freak couldn't let this pass up. I'm just a sucker for clean 80's & 90's Toyotas...
Already did some mods to it...can't help it.

Thats not funny :3d_frown: why do you do that why do you play with my emotions like that :nono: :cry: .
Lol actually i was expecting that, but instead of the GTS, i was thinkin the Cressida. So when are the two important cars gonna be done?
XXX - That's the game isn't it? Don't worry. I said I wanted to have the exterior done by the summer and is pretty much done. All I need is a few parts from TOYOTA to install the front bumper and the rear spoiler, install the Chrome strips, and the most $$$$ part, the wheels...oh, I forgot, I also need the window trims for all around except for the front windshield, which are already new.
BWB - I might sell it soon! :naughty:
CACress - The Cressy should be done soon. While I had the motor out, I decided to do a refresher on the motor. I found out that one of the mains on the crank shaft had a little scratch (Not sure why the main and not the rods :dunno: ) so is out getting polished, may be cut to .010. Soooo, I'll be putting in new bearings, gettting the rods blue printed and new ARP head bolts and HKS MHG to accompany a freshly rebuilt head. Then put everything back on. I'm also making it a 5sp w/ a W58. I have a brand new Clutch kit & flywheel from TOYOTA. It came with another Supra I had, so, since is new, I'll be using that.
The build is pretty much slow and boring for some at this point. There's a LOT of work involved, but you can't see much improvement. Especially because most of the parts are just new OEM parts, instead of cool aftermarket replacement parts. The interesting part starts once I hit the ENGINE,SUSPENSION/ELECTRONICS department :naughty:

UPDATE:
Never loan your bike...
My buddy was putting the bike back in the garage tonight after a quick ride. He tripped, fell, and scratched it a bit. I can live with that...worst part is, he fell on top shelves full of Supra parts, which hit my car and scratched the Sup badly...:nono: :nono:
pics tomorrow...long day. I need to rest.

I love all your sounds.
^^^^ Remember you wanted to take it for a spin? 
Just teasing ya... Ok, now I'm going to bed. I'll have pics tomorrow.
No worries. He's a long time friend. He wanted to take the car to the shop first thing tomorrow morning to have it repainted. I told him I had to take it back anyways once I finished putting it back together. So, once I'm done putting it back together, it'll all be fixed at once...

I think I even said, right then, never loan out your bike. Having seen the car, I can begin to feel your pain.
The way you described the crash, it's like worst case scenario. The bike, the parts, or the car alone would have been bad enough. But all three? ouch.

all i can say is WOW, my hands down to you! i read all posts and im highly impressed, i will be *almost* following exactly your build. and i do hope the damage recently created can be buffed out!
Hey guys,
here are some pics...
The bike landed on top of him, so there are minor scratches. I took it out so you can see it. The car, well...it will be a while until I can take it out for pics...
The damage on the car is substantial... Cannot be buffed out. Some of the scratches went all the way thru to the metal. The guys at the shop are going to kill me!!!!! Here are some pics...:nono: No worries though, as I said, this will get painted again though...
Pics of the car were taken last night and if they look like crap is because that's how the paint is on that area...like crap!!!
Sorry about the mess in the background on this pic...that's just left over from the mess last night...:biglaugh:

:cry::cry::cry: Ouch, that sucks. The guy that dropped the bike is paying right? RIGHT!? Never store ANYTHING near the car ever again, lol. Now we have to wait another 85 days to see the perfect paint again.
