So my license is currently suspended (due to my reckless driving habits and poor luck when it comes to avoiding police)
So i debated when i found this out, maybe i'm going to use this to my advantage and build the supra. Then a week later BAM!! Rod Knock! ( shouldn't have been driving anyway..sshhh).
That's when i decided DEFINITELY going to use this time to build the supra
So this is the supra how it sat in January
Yes the headlights do open all the way
So i wrote up the plans
Engine:
Rebuild from Zumtizzle here in Sacramento including (Currently in process):
-Getting a good core 7mgte
-Pistons and Rings
-Clevite Bearings
-Surface/Bore/Hone/Polishing Crank
-New Gaskets (Cometic HG)
-Bottom End
-ARP Studs
-New Oil Pump (shimmed)
-ARP Rod Bolts
-and some other miscellaneous things
He's been making great progress so far, and he's a very busy guy, so i understanding being patient is key.
Exterior:
I really do enjoy the two tone original color, but i want something a little different for a while
So i was debating a wrap or a plasti-dip job (yes i understand the negative feedback of plasti-dip), which the dip industry has came a long way in recent years.
But I decided to go with this:
-Black Betty Pearl Dip (this camaro was done by the guy doing my car)
Should have the supra there at the end of the month/ beginning of may.
-Debating on putting the 89+ bumper that i have, haven't decided. Really dig the pre-89 bumper honestly
-Already did the 89+ taillight conversion
Interior
-Black Interior Conversion:
-Already dyed the seats, came out better than i thought honestly. Seats seemed to stiffen up, but i'm noticing them starting to soften up much more.
Want to add Red supra logo to headrest
Going to work on the dash and rest of the interior when the engine is put in
- LED Dash lights
Ordered blue LEDs from SuperBrightLEDs for my gauge cluster(hated the stock green)
Installed
Kindle Fire Install
So i routed my deck behind the dash to my glove compartment, then routed an aux cord back through to a kindle i installed into the dash.
Used a torched knife to melt the edges of the black stereo cover or whatever the heck it's called to make is fit the kindle, the it uses a ign wire to charge the battery/turn on when i turn the key. Works really well, and all wires are hidden and looks almost stock. (kept the option of a deck on glovebox becuase i sometimes get hard copies of CD's i like, so i wanted to keep that option.
Will post a better photo later
