Kyle I would honestly check JCWhitney for front carpet sets. There are a bunch of companies that make factory replacements and you can get just the front section. Its cheaper than you might think.

edit: just a quick search online yielded this. http://www.auto-interior.com/toyota10.htm#Supra
for under $125 for brand new that wont fade or look uneven or like tired old carpet thats been re-dyed...not to mention the hassle, I think its a no-brainer. I know you have a limited budget on this, but new carpet would really do wonders for the interior.

Cool!

I don't really have budget, just looking to save some pennies and get it done ASAP, I miss my baby.
I'll definitely be getting this when the time comes.

That'd be sweet, talk to him and see what ya can do!
Let me know the prices he could do, including pulling a dent on my passenger side, a couple small ones here and there and fixing up the rest of my hatch so it doesn't leak and looks better.
Pictures of hatch and dent:

I'm not trying to sell anything, I don't have a shell. Just a thought.

You get rid of yours?
What happened to your old grey one or whatever it was?

 

[kylefoto]

Not much happening lately, pulled off the passenger side fender and upper nose piece because I got bored.
Still on schedual at this point to pull it on the 20th.

I wish I was making more money, and wasn't living at home. It's getting difficult living so far from my girlfriend. She's not so approving of my plans for the car, more so of my plans for where my money is going. :icon_conf
I'm trying to weigh out what I can do here.
Sell the supra,
put that money towards a suspension set up/possibly engine swap on the wagon, then move out.
Keep the supra, get it done, spend lots of money on it, sell the wagon, move out, and pray that nothing goes wrong with the supra.
Keep the supra, get it done, spend lots of money, keep the wagon, live at home.

Blah.
Why does money not grow on trees?!?!

/rant.
Pictures tomorrow maybe.

Kyle, your girlfriend is certainly a hottie, but both of you guys are too young for her to be disapproving what you do with your money! Fuck that!!! Remind her your priorities and put her in place!!

Finish the supra, stay at home, i moved out early, and while it was great to have that freedom, it took away so much more cashflow then I expected from the supra, made this project alot harder!

On the bright side:
Had an interview today with a hiring agency that starts you off at 13/hour for the first 3 months, then bumps you up to 14 when you're hired.
the hours are pretty demanding of your time though and won't really allow me to go to school for automotive.
So, one of the newbies here on the boards, rs4rush, just started working at Toyota of Kirkland, and told me they are still hiring.
So I went in today after the interview with the hiring agency, and I thought it was just going to be for service, but it just so happens that they're hiring lube techs and people who want to be mechanics (They pay for part of your schooling for you to become a master tech) Sooooooooo, holla. The guy is going to get back to me on Monday or Tuesday!
Boooooooooooooooo ya!

I'm still waiting on my side markers.
Birthday is coming up, give me parts!

 

[kylefoto]

I think I'm going to add some bling to engine bay and jump in on the koyo GB!
Pretty good deal.
So if anyone needs a Koyo OEM replacement (dual core!) radiator that's slightly used, I now have one up for sale

 

[loki2043]

[kylefoto]

100 bucks. Got it for 200+ shipped... Only a couple thousand miles on it, works great.

isn't that the truth. once you move out you relize how much money you actually spend on food and bills.

 

[kwnate]

I moved out when I was 18, never went back. You'll learn alot being on your own and to me thats more important then building a car. I bought my first mk3 shortly after that. Your car won't prepare you for the real world. Get your life on track and in a few years you'll find it much easier to do what you want to your car. Now, post some pics of your lady.
