Weekends work on the sup

Sun's shining, back at my folks with a workshop to abuse for the weekend... its supra time!

First job - music.

When i picked up the supra, it didnt have a head unit, one of the rear speakers was dead, and the other was missing, as was the bracket to hold it. Couldnt find a second hand bracket, and toyota wanted £100 for one so bluepeter time

I ended up removing most of the rear of the car... good learning experience, and as a bonus found all the cables required for fitting my amp in

Now with some rear speakers, i had to try and sort all the wireing out for the front, which took some figuring out as most of the original loom had been arsed about with. Got there in the end, amp, head unit and 4 infnity speakers all in

THEN.... the eyes wandered to the dash. After 14 years of use, the rubber covering was looking a bit mank, missing bits etc. couple of hours with bleach, scrubbing and painting:

(didnt know how this would work, it was either going to look tosh or good... i think it looks quite nice, enough black with the knobs etc to break it up)

Only bad bit of paint on the car, a rust patch from where one of the previous owners had reversed into something on the rear 1/4 and it hadnnt been properly repaired. Not finished with this yet, but the rust is gone and its primered Just needs some silver/laquering.

Aye . Knew every inch of my old car, so coming to this was a shock to the system, completly different animal. I think weve come to an understanding now though
