Supra MKIV (White) Project build. 2JZGE auto to 2JZGTE, 6 Speed Manual (pictures)

Welcome to my Supra TT build

I brought a White Supra (front end damage).

Very little internally within the car as you can

See by the pictures, but I got it for a bargain

price and it's perfect for a project as its a rolling

Shell.

Going to be getting the front end "jigged" out

So that it is perfectly straight and inline then I

Can commence with the engine bay Respray.

For now I am going to be re spraying the interior

Of the car with rust preventing primer and finishing

It off with a gloss white to match the exterior of the

Car. Before carpets etc get laid down.

So the shell arrived yesterday looking in a sorry state

But on the plus side.. It looked like a scene from the

Fast and furious, arriving on the back of a truck!

Poor Supra! Looks like it needs some serious work. Good luck with the project.

So this is the poor state that I brought it in

Good luck mate be busy summer.

So today I have taken everything interior wise out of the car, removed all panels and seats that were left once it was broken down and gave it a wash to see what the paint was like underneath, surprisingly it's immaculate! Obviously apart from the front end!

So that's today all sorted and also brought it a cover... As it has no doors at the minute.

Tomorrow I will sand and spray rust preventing primer throughout the metal work within the car and prepare it for a gloss white finish.

Will keep you all posted!

I have faith in you but this isn't a junk shop it's a garage...

Good job I don't have anything worthy of a junk yard then

I know you are going to be collecting parts but if you decide to get rid of that boot polystyrene let me know.....its the only part I'm missing.

wow good luck, looks better already with it being so empty should chuck in a 1gz-fe

You know what? This will decimate all, after, you put about fifteen grand in it or more. If we have to, overnight parts from Japan....

I could never do all this work, I wouldn't know how and I haven't got the patience

Good luck and it's great to see lots of photos, keep them coming with any progress

Loving the quote!

I haven't really got a clue how to do half of the stuff to re build the car, but that's what projects are for!

Will keep posted and more photos to follow tomorrow!

"No-JZ, oh s**t"

Is that car from keron? Think I recognise it

Yes matey it is indeed!

Best of luck with the project, a lot of work ahead of you but it nice seeing one being saved.

I started with a rolling shell too, its a good feeling the first time you drive it. Keep the updates coming

Yes it is a good feeling already bringing the paint work back to life! Starting with the preparation with the inside of the car now and will keep you updated.

So yesterday you might of remembered the floor inside the car being all rusty and dirty, so today I have cleaned out the interior floor, washed it all down, and applied a grey coat of rust preventing primer on the base of the car to start with.
