94 Aerotop na Project

Hi Guys

I bought my Aerotop back in April, in a sad state. It had been parked under a tree for months (9 or so). My head said walk away but my heart said this car needs a new home,so I bought it. CRAZY I know.

So started with a little bodywork So far its been despoilered, do-luck style front bumper, the handles have been resprayed. A leak fixed (Thanx Paul Whiffin). Had to replace the alarm . I have changed the wheels.

So a freind and have decided to have a little comp . Buy A car and do it up for £15000. Im doing supra, he cant decide. So when he gets a car may have to rethink the money.

Will be doing an ice install( £1000 Max before it comes from my budget)

I will be keeping a photo diary of the progress.

This is how she was when I got her

For 15K you could have brought Paul's black single and have 2K spare

Wanted to do things a little different and its £15000 over time not in 1 hit. Also wanted to learn and enjoy the process .

You will learn that starting with an NA and building a single turbo will be far more expensive than buying a well set up single in the first place, but what do I know

Good luck, hope your mate does not buy a single GTR or you will be left with a fair bit of catching up to do

Good luck with the car pal ...... doing it the way you are means that you'll know it inside out and its all your own work , thats what makes it special ........ making it how YOU want it .

Mate , you are proberly right . But plan to have fun along the way. I always wanted an Aerotop aswell .If he buys a gtr I'll break his legs until I catch up, only joking

If Aero top is a must, there are a couple of MINT ones at BPU level for sale on here at 8-9K, the 6 K would make then single,job done

I know you want to do it yourself but the NA is not a great base car for this project IMO

I always seem to do things the hard way. Love the car .So must make the best of it.

Dont listen to them!

I have loved doing mine over time. That said 15k is big money to spend.

My total spend is around, 2.5k right now including the car

yea evrybody said na was a bad place to start to me also, i know there rite and a tt is a better foundation but iv loved bulding up the car myself. working on and tinkering with the car is more fun to me than driving it

well said, thats my argument so lets do it our way

Another aero project GREAT. Looking forward to seeing your progress mate.

Personally I thing the only way you know for definate you have a minter is build it yourself. If you need any pointers at all I'm more than happy to point you in the right direction. If you know what I mean.

Thanx guys.

Start to think what have I done . I just looked at the gz at the time They were £9-11 . Just thought what can i do so saw this car £2000 later it was mine. We see where the journey take me . A lot of lessons to be learned Im sure .

lol and theres me thinking i was doing somthing different. good luck mate

Here is an up date to my car . Having got back from holiday . The Car had the skirts and spats done . Before I went on holiday Dave (Supraloopy ) did the headlights , they look great . So a huge thanx to Dave

nice change bro. here in Portugal i usual say that having a supra is not luxury its a lifestyle, and only supra onwers know what this sentence means . Keep the good work.

Good good.

I love these aero threads, means i can steal ideas

Just had the Bonnet done , so back to red. Before anybody asks it was painted black when I bought it . Cant decide whether to keep the doLuck front or not . At the mo just waiting on Keron to get a TT sorted so I can do the conversion . The money is burning a hole in my pocket .

Update .

Well not much been going on with my car . Returned the front back to std with a rmm carbon lip . Had it meshed aswell . Have had a set of Hsd fitted aswell !

Late last year bought a TT engine and had to collect some bits for the TT conversion to be completed . Thats where it all started to go wrong car is with Keron as we speak ! He got the car running after about 5min it lost a whole lot of water , checked the dipstick and found a good water oil mix ! Not the news I was wanting . But such is life ! Hoping he gets the Head off this week to see if there is any damage and what to do next ! Will let you all know what happenned

Keep the faith dude, keron knows his stuff. I'm sure he'll sort it for you.

Ouch, not good.

However, there's too many aero builds, please stop it people, aero's are supposed to be rare:d

Ouch, hopefully it'll get sorted mate. Keron's a top bloke so its in safe hands. Keep the faith.

this looks great fun, it ll be worth the effort when its done.

Nice to see the car progress in all different manors, will be good to see the new approach with the front bumper when you get the car back.

hopefully the engine issue gets sorted out soon sure it will & you will be back to it

Listen to Hodge mate...he has been through this and come out shining!
