Some people are just too fussy I've now found one, bought supradibb's red one

Fair amount... *deep breath* - its flipped up on a previous car (i assume) as the hinge's appear to have been ripped out at some point. A friend and I reworked the mounts front and back shortly after getting it home as it was about to part company with the car. Put it this way, i was holding into one of the metal hoops on the front and it came off in my hand They are now both the toughest bit of the bonnet due to some pro fiberglassing/steel work - due to this previous abuse it has a few cracks on the surface, especially near the drivers side hinge that appears to have had some work done on it, this probably bore the brunt of it flipping up. (EXAMPLE) - even in as new condition, i dont think it would have fitted wonderfully, bigger panel gap down one side than the other, site lower than the wings. (EXAMPLE) Still want it? I may be interested in a straight swap with a decent silver standard bonnet, other wise i'll keep it and fiddle with it in my spare time Only if you get yours resprayed silver first

People just arnt willing to pay for supras... i've given up trying to sell my TT, the last offer i got was £2500!!

Thanks keron, bit of a treck though I could, but the reason im looking for a standard one is the GRP one is abused! (not by me i hasten to add!) It depends if your looking for a spot on bonnet or one that requires a fair amount of tlc....?

Any idea what you want for it...?

I'm after a standard Silver Bonnet.... lucrene silver or what ever it is for sensible money, proferably in the south somewhere so i can pick it up -what you got?

BUMP

Typos corrected - it was done quite late last night and my spellings tosh at the best of time! Cars sat in a barn... may as well be making someone happy I quite fancy a kit car instead as it goes

Cheers Jamie, no point lieing as they will see the car if they come to see it Like you i hope to be back in the land of supra at some point

I both agree and dissagree. On one hand is does exist, in varying degrees of severity. I have very mild dyslexia, which mainly affects my reading. I have to read every word on a page or it comes out as completle tosh where as most people can skim read a lot faster. On the other hand, its become the "thing" to have, and is probably in a lot of cases being used as a one size fits all excuse for crap teaching - "couldnt possibly be us, he/she must be thick/dyslexic/unteachable" However, my first primary school as appauling and said "he's simply thick, he will never get into Dauntseys (local secondary school)" (direct quote from head teacher to my parents) I swiftly left said school and moved to a decent one, whos teaching levels were far far better and suddely i started learning and achieving. It was them who discovered i had mild dyxlexia, and gave me extra lessons once a week to combat it. I passed the exam to Dauntseys, went to Uni and now lead a happy supra fulfilled life. I really must go back and do a Nelson Muntz style HAAAAA HAAAA at my old head teacher So i think its a mixed bag, it does exist but is an all too easy label to apply. If your a parent with a child whos struggling - try and get someone who knows what they are talking about to spend some time with them.

i have a BIORB tank... little 30L one. Its my first one and its been great so far They are a bit like larva lamps, you can sit and watch them for ages! I have 8 x Neons and 4 Red Guppys http://asdesignsweb.co.uk/photos/albums/userpics/10001/normal_FISH_BOWL.jpg

The ipod is the first thing for a long time to have the "hoover" effect (calling a product type by a brand) - i now have three of the things... a 1gb shuffle i use at work (clips to my shirt so nice and out of the way), 2gb first gen nano that lives in my car and feeds my head unit with music, and recently my iPhone 3G, which is a truly awesom piece of kit ALMOST... considering buying a MAC

If the phone was off when you washed it, and only powered up again once all the water had dried out, their s a chance it might live. If it was wet n powered though its probably foobar'd We've stuck a couple of mobiles, even a laptop that went for a swim in someones bath, in a vacuum chamber at work before to evaporate all the water, all of them started working again

We swapped a wave...

Tax is £195, they arnt affected by the new tax laws as they are all pre 01

5K will get you quite a nice TT. i bought mine for 5.5 2 years ago and although it needed a couple of things doing (cam belt, crank pully, service) its served me well since - considering its 15 odd years old is pretty impressive Insurance - i too was quoted the same for a TT and NA - which is why i went for a TT depends on who you talk to, the likes of elephant/admiral are fine if your cars standard (or nearly) As for the age/power thing - depends what your like. i went from a long wheel based landrover (0-60 in 17 seconds) to my first 200sx (0-60 in about 6!). The only thing you'll notice is you learn to respect it very quickly. i don't see why a leap to a TT would be any worse. Just learn how it reacts, they are quite predictable cars. Just make sure you buy one that's been looked after, and change the oil regularly, and you'll be fine!

She does poke along - no idea what power its running, enough for me though! I'd been stuck on the m25 doing 5mph for about an hour before our paths crossed so was taking advantage of being able to put my shoe down You didnt hang about getting from the first to third lanes yourself The back of yours... it was the moody dark lights on a white car, along with the spats and skirts that make it look :cool:lots of road presence.

Thank you... no idea on the exhaust, its a custom built one i think, its a bit of a bodge job that was put on by a previous owner, BUT the bits you can see look good, and it sounds grunty as hell - so i've not changed it Other than that its pretty standard, lowered, decatted and hybrids. I love how yours looks from the back, seriously tempted to sell up and get a white one

Twas i On my way back to Wiltshire for a long weekend. Your car looked awesome by the way

Looks entertaining... there will always be those who watch it in thick glasses and comment on how its not factually correct... as Jeremy Clarkson would say the "Adenoid Crowd" ... the same people who probably enjoyed Alien Has all the eliments of a good film... fast cars, explosions and women (men for the women folks) The first F&F movie is what got me into fast jap cars - because of the SX in it!

Hardest bit is remembering how the fan belt goes round all the pullys.... other than that its a 2 mins job

Ill try and pop along, rude not too as your so close

you can just picture them sat there, in the style of crotchety old men waving two fingers at us... (they wree on tv, stealing kids lollys etc - cant think of the program!) "meeeeeeeh, weeere in - and theirs nothing you can do about it!"
