Cleaned all the exterior light bulb sockets and soldered in a new headlight light socket to replace one I found burnt up. Stupid light bulb out dummy light was on even though they all worked. Out now so success. No pics because...well it was pretty boring and you've all seen a light socket.
LOL - yes, I've still got two cars. Both are 1989 dark blue cars, the hardtop has a 7M with all the creature comforts still - A/C, cruise, etc. The targa has the 2J, and isn't midnight blue anymore, it's been repainted the stellar blue from the 2001+ Toyotas. I'm still working on both of them now and then.Orion ZyGarian;1862217 said:
Painted the sawblades black!, will update Tonight with photo also gunna finshs 87 fog light re wire...messed up last night and now they turn high beams on with low lights ..... No fogs tho
Generally speaking around these parts, you're right. That is what sucks about playing with his 7m's, they are fun and pull great... for a day or two. :nono:Orion ZyGarian;1862298 said:
In this guy's case though, it is more a lack of time to do it than the skill. Plenty of that on his end.

I like how yours came out better did you clear them?
^^ I'm actually thinking of getting my sawblades stripped for next year. My powder coat is starting to come off and it doesn't look that great. Plus I love the look of stripped sawblades.
I loved my stripped sawblades, but didn't clearcoat them, so they looked pretty rough a couple years later.
Looking at those photos, I hope that you painted under the balancing weights, and didn't just paint over it all. Of course it'll be fine while you keep those tires, but the silver underneath will show next time you get tires installed/balanced if you didn't.

That's actually just some flat black in a can that I bought from an arts and crafts store that was going out of business. It's meant for plastic, but it still holds fine. I didnt even do anything other than wash them to get the wheels prepped.
I wasnt worried about wheel weights or overspray on the tires (obviously) as you can tell...those tires arent exactly meant for a Supra they were placeholders in case I needed to move it while I used up some old tires on the Miata that is peaking in the pics. It now has different placeholders until I get proper tires for it.
I only did one coat, no clearcoat, and just did it one day in some spare time to see how much I'd like it, and I have to say I absolutely love it. They'll get another coat with 'Toyota' accented in red before I get it back on the road.

IDK...I just can't get into those saw blade wheels. They were the first thing to go when my son bought his car. Mine came with the wheels in my sig. I guess one good thing about them is they're cheap and plentiful.
I was never crazy about them either, but I saw SupraofDoom's car with them painted, and I thought it was at least worth a shot. The Turbo-A looks better with them over stock, and since I have much, much more important things to worry about right now, they'll do just fine!
I love how your car looks by the way. Are those SE-R wheels? They remind me of the FR500 Mustang wheels someone else has

Yes, they're SE-R wheels. I was lucky enough to receive them when I bought the car. Currently I have a set of 5 spoke Konigs on it that I think I like better. Thanks for the compliment!
Konig Villains? Oh man! Theyre discontinued too, arent they? I dont know why, theyre consistently some of the best 5 spokes for our cars
Blew my oil cooler lines cause the autozone gave me fuel line instead of an oil rated hose...hose was rated for 3.4 bar and with the 200+ degree oil going through it turned it into a limp noodle. Car got towed home. I dont think i lost all oil still need to check that. Got all appropriate AN fittings and hoses to replace.
