The Raven Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Well, seems i have a leak from the roof, not bad considering. So that will need to be sorted asap. I will be doing a blue led job on the dash soon too. Maybe, just maybe i will spray the arms of the trd silver. I will also be trying to get those dam neons to work from the key surround light.

mwilkinson Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Russ I think your car looks great. Compared to the castrol disaster it puts many 'well sorted' cars on here to shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks matt. Will have to sort a meet out soon still havent seen your car yet! I have to admit Colin has never let me down with my car, he has also never said no. Seeing as all i gave him was a print out from Homer on the wings, then removed the the heat blanket and pointed at the bits i wanted he has done a fantasic job. The front bumper should have been "binned" in his opinion after Kel stacked it into a curb. Needless to say its now a great fit and finish.

deathmonkey Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Where did you get the stuff for the footwell lights, if you don't mind me asking? Might have a go at that - mine used to have them but I fancy something a bit brighter. Love the work on the car so far mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut the end off and then wired them into the LED barrel. Then hooked the wires from the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard footwell lights I had were crap, so I got rid of them - kind of wish I hadn't now! Just don't want it to look 'chav.' I'll have a look on e-gay.

The Raven Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Been out playing with my old pure sport matts.

Soop Dogg Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 That's one of the nicest Supras I've seen for a while. It sits just right too. If I was being REALLY fussy, I'd paint the end caps on the wing black - I wouldn't bother doing the whole wing-ends silver; it just goes with the whole black on silver thing as it is. Maybe a different set of alloys, but that's personal taste. Can't believe you've put that together looking like it is for that sort of money - you should be proud of what you've done there, mate.

Thanks:) Well getting the base car so cheap was the main thing. Finding colin was the other:d Bit by bit i do things to it, hour here hour there. I will be spraying the trd silver. I looked at it again and i think it will match better having the whole wings silver with the black blade. I will take pics of the matts once i add the TRD patch. Maybe, just maybe i might have a 2.5 tt engine and box coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Well looks like my mats are going to be ok, i wet my hand then rubbed it up and down, nothing came off.
