Hi all, after being asked a couple of times why i didn't have a buildthread and some convincing words from Ian, i'm posting my buildthread. I have been searching through my stash of images but haven't found to many usable images. The first images that i post are quite bad but are clear enough to see what's going on.
I've had quite some engine trouble in the past with her and during the last rebuild i made a big mistake. I decided to fix some minor dings and other things bodywise. I soon enough found enough horrible work from the previous owner that needed fixing and one thing led to another.
At first i cleaned the enginebay and removed most of the stuff that in it
And now there's Panther Black Mica in the enginebay
I love it First time holding a paintgun. No runs whatsoever.
I borrowed a B&M type 3 kit from a good friend and taped the q-panels and skirts on the supra.
As you can see, the 17x10" wheels were nowhere wide enough, even though they are too wide for the stock body
And another pic, with my DoLuck frontbumper in it too, albeit partially
Wide rear, looks like it's sagging down a bit, which is one of reasons i decided not to buy the kit. The fact that i needed almost 5" spacers on each rearwheel didn't help either.
After sitting a while, cletussing on the bodywork. Do not look at the Q-panels...
A few months later i bought a set of replica Bomex sideskirts and rear add ons. As you can see, the skirts don't fit very well... at all...
Out of pure boredom i grabbed a hood that i had lying around and started cutting into it.
Raised it about 2" in the back, made the cowl wider and rewelded it.
Standing next to the car it doesn't look all that different, it has a nice vent though.
On the car it's a whole different ballgame...
I saved some money and bought a SP61GT, RC 550's and a turbotimer with harness.
