hi to all, well my supra has been of the road since my membership ran out.

due to work, money,and life problems its come very close to selling the car and i might still have to sell it...

 

with the car being of rd for a nearly a year iv had plenty of time to think. and my first thought was to get rid of the colour.

so its being resprayed in pure gloss white..

 

so the plan is gold gtc,s (still in box .from 08) white car with red leather. and some carbon.

 

i will do my best to keep people updated,with the pics.:D;)

the bay is now white.

just spent a few days refiting things,and tapeing old faded wires.

replaced all the old bolts with new ones .

also plastic coated a few bits..;):D

 

the first pics you can see the wires are messy. so with a bit of elctric tape thay start to look much better.
