Hi People :)

 

As some of you know, I recently sold my long term Supra. I only decided to sell the previous car as I had managed to locate a Supra that I had been after for quite some time, and after a little homework I managed to track down the said Supra through the help of someone else's classifieds ad :).

 

Without further suspense, I have purchased a VVTi TT6 in the colour I had always wanted, Royal Sapphire Pearl (RSP). Here are a few pics of the car from the recent drive out to Driftlands here in Scotland.

 

Some of you may be wondering why the Sup has pre-facelift lights. The car did come with facelift lights which were of decent condition, no peeling or flaking, but they did look used, so I swapped them out for a set of pre-facelift lights :blink:

Mini meet before Driftlands

Soon after getting the car back home, I set about removing the stock interior, and began to replace it with a leather rear bench and a set of Cobra Daytona recliners, which used to be fitted to my last supra before reverting that back to a more standard form. Apologies for not actually having a pic of the fitted article, but these were the swap over pics.

Rear bench installed, some of you may notice that the rear strut covers are marked, new one are on order from toyota.

And they're out!!!

Soooo the first thing I cannot wait to change are the wheels, they really don't do anything for me, and have only been kept on while my Winter wheels are being refurbished, and the winter wheels will stay on until my new wheels arrive.

You know what, that was the first thing I thought about when I spotted your post! "Damn he's got a lovely blue car!" Haha

 

Luckily it's a slightly different colour I'm after. I did notice a slight hint of mild concern when I showed you the pic at Crail lol

 

Looks stunning mate, look forward to the build! :)
