Well after 2 weeks off the road, decided it was time to start a strip down... Was not impressed with what I found:

 

Around August when I bought the car: veilside supra:

Many will be happy to know, veilside is now gone, but upon stripping the car, found, after around 30 minutes removing 1 skirt, there weren't just 4 screws holding the skirts on:

That would be body filler and some sort of tough a$$ silicone at the front of the skirt

 

Another 2 tubes of silicone later:

Spoiler off:

Boot now stays up

 

Bumper off:

Updates over the months to come...

 

First change is a TRIAL front bumper which is already fitted.

Skirts to go with this bumper are doing my head in as I can't find any I think go. I don't want a whole TRIAL supra, I want to make it my own.

Also having a custom exhaust made and the HKS SILENT is coming off.

As for rear end, that's still a debate. Spoiler is sorted though.

Rims a possibility, some ultralite 5 spoke staggered I was offered.

The colour of the car is open to suggestions (NOT RED,BLACK OR SILVER, it's too common)

That's reassuring to know lol

Good thing, not a tiny spot of rust anywhere. Which I thought might have been hiding as I guessed previous owners didn't really look after it, when I got it you should have seen the state of the belts! They looked like old worn leather!

Finally got back to the supra again.

Got all my bits: side skirts I bought from a mate: no idea of make (pics of them on his car a while back)imageimageimage

 

My front bumper I believe to be Trail (correct me if I'm wrong):imageimage

 

Now I know I got rid of the whole VS stuff..... But.... I was offered this rear bumper from a member, and I really liked it, so bought it:image

 

My new 18" staggered wheels:image

 

And my dash in Ford currant red (has a burple tint):image

 

As for spoiler, eventually going TRD maybe, but for now, using my standard spoiler that clemmo kindly donated :)

Any feedback welcome

Cheers guys
