Sheefa Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Well I'm going to give myself a pat on the back if I do say so myself! As many of you know I'm technically shite when it comes to fixing problems, modifying cars etc etc, but I thought on this occasion with the simple guides available, I'd give the conversion a shot and here are the results It took about 3 1/2 hours to do the whole lot include soldering, heatshrinking etc, and half way through it started raining so I had to use the car cover and create a little camp by my front bumper to work under. SADLY, things didn't go perfectly as expected. Here is also a pic of my new £40 Nike Joggers that I'd only worn 3 times and stupidly put a massive hole in by kneeing and catching them on the Soldering Iron!!!!! Bollocks. All is all very happy and by god does it make the car look more chic and modern. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andy - Although despite me having done over 100+ engine replacements in my long standing career as a mechanic, I may be busy. Na, if you ever do need a pair of hands to make a cuppa, lunch, take the dogs for a walk etc - give me a shout! Thanks Mr Lover. I'll post up a before pic too.

Sheefa Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Greg mate, that should be an interesting thread (lol) I would of added the Spats to that too mate along with a can of Toyota Black spray paint, but I think i'll leave that up to a bodyshop! They arrived in mint condition - great packaging Andy. Thanks pal. Yes, this will be an interesting read! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 looks nice! why didnt u get the harness though? woud have saved a lot of time lol ?? What harness, you mean the new bulb looms from Toyota? I did mate if that's what you mean, you still need to wire, solder, heatshrink and insulate for good measure, especially if you want the more advanced Indicator Sidelights!!!!!

Burna Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Looks much better Greg and I'm very impressed you did it yourself I'm just lucky that Trick lives up the road, makes Supra ownership real easy Did you wire them so they the outers light up with the side lights also?

SupraStar 3000 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 well done. Good job. Good to see the old 'soldering iron' making a come back. Last time I heard, its days were numbered as the tool for electricians, and was now a more popular choice of weapon for DIY home genital surgery. Right Jake! Mind you, by the look of your trackies, it seems like you had a go at that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
