safcdixon Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Get Rid of the Toyota badge aswell Jake, it will look much cleaner without them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 That involves filling the holes though and then more paint although it would look good. If im spending that sort of money again i have other bits on the list first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Best update this, Supra really has taken a back seat recently with me trying to sort out another car so the supra can be stripped back down for some serious work under the bonnet. However for now i have re fitted the diffuser and have got my bungs back painted in 199 ready for removing the rear spoiler. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=169678&stc=1&d=1368888472 Look at the sate of it!

ripped_fear Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Right having major problems as both my laptop and my camera have packed up so phot updates are going to be a bit of a pita now :/ But the car is coming along well, the whole left side is striped and cleaned ready for hole covering and paint, i have also cleaned up lots of parts again, all 3 stage polished. The cam covers i have also satrted cutting back the fronts of both sides are looking like chrome again however the back is yet to be done. Will get some pictures as soon as i can.

Rich.2211 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Looking good mate, will look 1000x better still once you get the viscous fan painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomo8568 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Looking loads better. How easy was it to paint? Is it just a case of making sure it its all masked up? As this is something I need to do but bin putting it off as it looks a pita to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Looks great! Much cleaner! Is the paint aerosol!? Looks quite metallic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Looks much better I'm thinking I should paint my engine bay the same colour now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Thanks for the kind words guys Looking good mate, will look 1000x better still once you get the viscous fan painted On the list going black I think, but first going to give it a good clean to see how it looks. Looking loads better. How easy was it to paint? Is it just a case of making sure it its all masked up? As this is something I need to do but bin putting it off as it looks a pita to do. Yeah its a pits just tale the time mack up and remove as much as possible. What was your solution for filling the holes in the bay Jake, if you don't mind sharing? Got some texture engine bay sticky stuf and cut some small disks, simply plastic prime and paint. Looks great! Much cleaner! Is the paint aerosol!? Looks quite metallic. Yeah it is aerosol, but I had a 199 made up by my dads garage. So its good quality, obviously not as good a finish as it would be out a gun but still an improvement. Looks much better I'm thinking I should paint my engine bay the same colour now lol Go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_sri Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Just read through this from the start, I'm in the same boat ATM.. Can only really afford a NA and a bit of a perfectionist so could be interesting!!! My plan is to buy a TT6 in the future and swap parts across then sell the NA...maybe you could do this with some of your bay bling etc ? Good read though nice work !!!!
