Seems like people derived from sweden make awesome car builders..... I daily drive an old volvo 740 and my mothers side of the family is almost full swedish/norwegian. Weird....

 

[Amstaff]

FFIM almost done

I´ve had so much work lately and no time for my Supras. I begin to wonder if they even come out this summer?

As usual, some new pics of stuff I gather.

New taillights

New FPR

Adjustable intake ( -> Turbo) piping

I bet u know what this is

Got some random 18" rims cheap, dont worry, they´re being sandblasted this week, chrome is gay.
8" front and 9.5" rear. Gonna paint them black!

You don't sandblast to remove chrome...

It´s not polished alu, it´s regular chrome, and as its harder than alu, its easy to get off too

Dont worry, they guys doing it has done it before.

The proper way to remove it is the reverse of putting it on (i.e. electroplating). Any other way damages the base metal and isn't environmentaly friendly (chromium is extremely toxic)

I´ve had over 30 rims sandblasted before without any problems regarding base metal damage, sandblast doesn´t remove so much compared to grinding and polishing

Also, the guys sandblast / paint trucks and heavy machinery all day long, I think their enviroment is as toxic as it can be!

Got something done this weekend :nono:

Painted the centerpiece between the new lights.
Servopump and fan etc found their way back, my new radiator (damn its FAT) is there and testmounted hood without problems.
Also polished the radiator together with the stainless steel holders I made, also the hood shocks got some polish :naughty:

 

[Amstaff]

Got my FFIM back again, now it´s been milled.
Polished & painted both hood shocks, made a hole for the IC piping, got some cromed pipes to be used as vacuum lines etc (all blu hoses are gonna be replaced with black silicone).

My wheels gettin some sandblast:

My new coolant tank

Glory hole!

Coolant line (its not finished yet, not mounted properly)

Shocks

 

[Amstaff]

Wheels sandblasted

Also got another oilrelocation, gonna install the old one in the other Supra.

And ordered some silicone hoses to ic, water, catchtank etc..for only 450$...Damn silicone is expensive...

 

[Amstaff]

Sucks major balls that i dont get time to finish it..everything takes all day to get done, just to get the FFIM and fuelrail back for good took med 4hours..
I know, there´s stuff there that dont belong, but didnt have time to clean anything before i had to go home to get some sleep..
Gotta work on the throttlecable (any toyotas with same but longer?)
And mount the idlethingy, TPS to the new throttlebody etc
Also the new oilrelocation is mounted.
