It's WHITE again! 
And my image host is down so I can't show you......
I spent the afternoon, and sanded down the hood, and the trunk, then threw some primer on a few areas. I also started the rust repair, took my grinder and my dremel, and ground down the rusty areas on the passenger side of the car, put some rust inhibitor on it, and started filling it in.
The speedo stopped working again, so I fixed it, again. The actual cable within the speedo cable is pulling out of the back of the speedometer. Something's stretching somewhere. I have a replacement cable, but I don't think it's any better. I just stuck a piece of shrink tubing over the tip of the cable. Works well until the grease starts making it soft.
My Supra SHOUD be back up and running this weekend if I'm lucky. The motor's supposed to be in Calgary VERY soon, and assuming I don't have to do any major maintenance to the new motor (like bearings), I should have it in the car in a day.

No, I just put some white primer on it for now. I'm still undecided if I want to keep the white or not. I had an idea today: Black with silver trim.Jeff Lange said:
I ended up buying a new motor to go in it. Should be here in the next day or two.garagefujimoto said:
Edit: Pics!
Look, no more mural.
I no more rust on the door. Still a big rust hole to fill in on the rocker panel there though.
Apparently the guy who sprayed the car happened to drive down my street last night, and was like "Hey, it's my old car. Aww, the paint's gone"
thechori said:are those stock wheels? they look identical to the starion wheels, actually that whole car resembles the starion w000o0o0 cool
Uhh... no they don't.
Starion wheels = 5 spoke split.
His wheels = 4 spoke split.
His wheels were factory wheels on the Celica GT-S (RA65) and Supra (MA61).
i hated the fold outs.. my bro wrecked my 83 with fold outs.. i got 1k from it (bought my supra) and swapped a 84 parts cars pop ups on.. was win win for megaragefujimoto said:Fold-out lights > Pop-ups
my old sig pic from back in the day

This similarity always used to confuse me before i knew more about cars (years ago)
I find it kinda odd but side by side they probably look a lot different. personally i like the starion's wheels better....but yeah just saying he's not the only one that has thought that. :naughty: :nono:
looking good rob!
Starions still look cool .....
...Even though they ripped off Toyota's wheels
Here's a better shot of the wheels on it BTW.
