2008 Supra MKIII - Project 1BYDFALT
- Thread starter Supraholics
- Start date
This is so not cool. You just have to build the suspence don't you.....bastard.:cry: :icon_mad:
Sorry guys. Is not intentional. I did pick the car up today!!!! Is home!!!! :naughty:
It took longer then expected because the windshield installer changed the installation date. The front windshield got installed this Thursday. I got brand new TOYOTA moldings for it. You can see the difference compared to the old ones. Worth the money!
Anyways, sucks that I didn't have the trailer here :nono:. I paid $95 for a tow truck :icon_mad:, but it was worth it though. The guy did more then I asked for (and I'm very picky). He did everything with so much care. Will definitely be calling him again if I ever need another tow.
I do have pics, but don't have the camera with me :nono:
I promise I'll post some tomorrow night :evil2:
Miguel.

Pics please :cry:... How much did the new Toyota mouldings cost for it? Were they just around the windshield or all around?
trydrew - I'll try. Let's see if the wallet can keep up :nono:
vas85 - thanks
cdrusupra - I'll let you know once I look at the receipts at home. I do get 15% discount on TOYOTA parts, no shipping. :naughty:
This time around, I only got the molding for the front windshield. I am getting the entire set though. The old ones WILL NOT match the new ones, even if I got them painted. They are nice!!! :love:

Discounts are always good. :icon_bigg
I started adding up how much the moulding around all the windows would be and I had to stop because it was getting so expensive. I don't just want to paint my old mouldings. I want brand new shiny ones.
Are you going to insulate the cabin with any sound deadener?

Absolutely. What I don't know yet is if I want to put it on top of the OEM stuff, or remove it before installing the new one.
Really nice build, I am also in the process of building a twin turbo kit although it will be on a 1J. I plan on using 2 2871Rs though.

Cool. Do you have build thread yet? What are you expecting to get out the two 2871Rs? It looks like they are each rated for 450hp.
Okay guys...Update time. As promised, here are some pictures of the car. Obviously, the car is not assembled. Also, once I assemble the exterior, the car is going back for a final buff. Currently, the car is dusty. I tried to take good pics but :nono: Once the car is assembled, I have this guy that's going to take professional pictures of the car for me :naughty:
Here we are, getting ready to go.
This is at home on the driveway. The car is full of dust at this point.
Engine bay. Baby sleeping inside the garage now.
RH quarter panel
RH Door.
LH quarter panel. Picture came out a bit blurry.
That's all for now. I can say that it will take longer to put it back together then I anticipated. I will be quite busy with other things...unfortunately :nono:

I love all your sounds.
trydrew - I don't know. I told the guy I wanted the paint to be weather resistent like a brick, I guess he misunderstood and painted some sinder blocks on it. 
BSG - We all have our special little thing.

thanks guys. What's insane is the amount of work and care that have to go into it now. I'm not sure what I would do if I scratch it putting back together.
Talking about scratches, what do you guys recommend for cleaning dust off black cars?? I currently have microfiber cloth. Is there something better?

I thought microfiber is better then cotton, isn't it?
Anyways, thanks for the info. I like that duster.
