Noooo. Why? :(

 

Well, had a small business proposal & planning on taking it up. If I didn't have a mahossive wedding then I might have been able to keep it! Though don't worry, I'll still be attending the meets, I'll just admire yours :)

 

serious?? what you after for it :D
Yep, took me 3 months to decide. Not sure but would be looking around the £5.5k mark or close enough.

My engine is coming out and is being rebuilt. Only a stock rebuild as not too interested in running big power at the moment.

 

Have ordered new TRD engine and gearbox mounts, new oil pump, water pump and engine gasket kit.

 

Will be stripping the engine down and testing everything, replacing anything that needs to be. Compression test and leak down tests were very good so the block seems sound. Shall be doing front and rear crank seals, gearbox rear seal and valve stem seals. Have also been considering getting the head properly cleaned and the valves seated better.

 

Will also likely replace the clutch and flywheel while I am at it.

 

Then I will be having my body kit resprayed to get rid of some stone chips which have built up over the last few years.

Me sensible? Yeah right! Well have been thinking about it for a while, I'll get a oil burner to lug around as the Supe won't be ideal for doing small trips & loads of miles (Unless I owned a petrol station :D).

 

Don't worry you won't get rid of me that easily, I'll be looking in the classifieds when I've made a fortune! :eyebrows:

Not a Supra job, but a total back to carbon strip of my Lola, and a repaint in Frentzen's original Camel sponsorship colours and decals. Backbreaking job, very messy, but getting there faster than I thought. All the alloy parts are stripped and re anodised, all the wishbones stripped, crack tested and re Kephos coated. Engine rebuilt and dyno'd, dampers rebuilt and dyno tested, All body work stripped to bare carbon, nearly finished the tub now.
