How Far Have You Traveled For Parts?

[SupaMan]

I drove 3 hours today from the west coast of florida to the east coast and picked up projectsupra1's custom vented hood which had been in a lil bit of an accident but hey it was free and very much worth the 150 bucks in gas and food. if you havnt figured out what hood it is then heres a pic of it on his car when it was first done.

Ive been obsessed with kyles hood since i met him ive wanted it forever even tho it has some damage now i still wanted it so i went and got it off of his hands and i also saw his AWESOME GA70 that i wanted to nut on as soon as we pulled up hes an awesome dude i wish i coulda stayed longer but my friends had shit to do that night.

anyways enough of my bullshit heres the pics.

It doesnt really line up on 1 fender it kinda bends down but thats ok itll get fixed!

OMG JDM STICKERS THEY MAKE MY N/A DO 10'S YO!

And the last pic after we spent an hour taking the car club sticker off of it.

So that was my trip today im very happy i got this hood its 1 of a kind and i wanted to keep it that way even if it is in need of repairs i dont care im happy to have it.

Everybody tell me how far youve traveled for supra parts pics of the parts too if you can!

P.S. i know my fender is red.

Cool hood.. worth the drive

Rain will own you.

I like it though, maybe not the sticker on the pass side but its a kewl hood.

 

[rakkasan]

It sure is beat to hell...

 

[SupaMan]

its beat up yea its not his fault it was a free hood the rain will not own me the last couple vents have a fiberglass catch made for it thats riveted to the hood so no water gets on the motor or in the spark plug gally the only thing under that vent is a radatior and a plastic fan shroud.

cant drive my car in the rain anyways targa seals leak

oh and the stickers gone we peeled it off you can see it in the last pic.

im gonna take it and my stock mint hood down to a friends bodyshop and ask him how much it would cost to repair the original hood and how much it would cost to cut the vents out and put them in my stock hood and ill prolly do whatever the best route is.

Hood looks like he had an enemy. What the hell happened to it? Doesn't look like your average auto acident damage.

Anyway, I drove 10 hours round trip from Mobile, Al to the Atlanta, Ga area to get my JDM block. I got the motor as just the block and head (with new head gasket) for $250. Great deal! Then I had to finish assembly, but here's a pic after install..........

I know, it's very dirty now! And, no, that's not signs of BHG at the radiator. I also made the same trip to buy a 240sx from the guy I got my motor from. So, 2 - 10 hour trips for me. A nice $600 240 on the second trip.

he hit 1 of those huge like apartment complex po box mail boxes that are all metal and have like the 90 small boxes in them that you open with a key and it came down on the hood you can see the outline of the mailbox and the 4 corners (the 4 dents repersent those)

 

[BorHor]

Hmm my farthest is from my car to my computer.

J/k CHRISO FTW. He is about an hour away from me.

 

[ForcedTorque]

Damn............Federal offense wned:

 

[SupaMan]

i dont think he ment to hit it lol

 

[supra90turbo]

I drove to MD to pick up a parts car.
One day trip, left here at 5am, got home at 2am
$300 for the car, $150 spent on diesel.
Not a bad deal as far as I'm concerned.

 

[SupaMan]

what it says up there goes here :runaway:

you made my car look ghetto because you hit that mail box KNOWING I WANTED THAT HOOD how can you sleep at night?! :cry:

 

[tekdeus]

I drove 3 hours as well to buy sidewayzsupra's hood. To get the rare stuff you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

[SupaMan]

i took these pics lastnight of the fiberglass rain catch and just anthor pic of my car in the garage.

I made a 6 hour round trip to oneandgone's for all the white stuff in this picture:icon_bigg

 

[SupaMan]

the pearl white on those parts is nice! i wonder what it is.....

 

[Nick M]

The parts counter isn't very far from the front door...

 

[tookwik4u89]

the pearl white on those parts is nice! i wonder what it is.....

The car was white with blue pearl, and blue moldings, but as you can see in the sig......red now. Too bad he couldnt sell the car and had to part it out.
