Frank Bullitt Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm actually gonna go for a purple/gold/Carbon look lol, want something different to stand out with. Thanks buddy nice to hear good things about the car after spending so long building it and going through so much different styles Going to look rather tasty, definitely different to the other guises and my favourite one so far. OEM with a psychedelic twist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEM with a psychedelic twist Haha yeah I like to be different with the supra, it should draw in the crowds that's for sure haha. Where did you source it from? Just had a proper catch-up its looking well! Cheers Adam I got it from a guy in the Dominican Republic that makes carbon and fibreglass parts for everything from supra's to Silvia and other cars!

drift_bear Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Managed to get the car prepped and the engine bay primed ready for getting some colour next weekend. Also decided to spray the scuttle, where the wiper motor sits and the front bumper support satin black Should get back down to the unit midweek/next week and get the colour finally down!

drift_bear Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 So managed to get the bay all painted today with the help of grasmt (michael) and I can honestly say i made the right choice with going gold! Tried to get a picture of the contrast between the 2 colours, it was hard under the workshop lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 A quick update... Managed to source wheels for the car at last, I went with rota grid drifts in the following specs/sizes 19"x9.5j ET38 19"x10.5j ET20 I also managed to order the last few things and they all arrived today apart from the clutch that should be here by the end of the week. • Full OEM gasket kit • Gates racing timing belt • Gates aux belt (no air con) • OEM oil filter • Manifold studs and bolts For the clutch I went with a HKS LA as recommended by a few people and on here, can't wait to feel how this is compared to my last spec 1! I am aiming to start putting everything back together from tomorrow onwards and hoping (if it all goes to plan) to have it all back in by the weekend and hopefully get the bootlid away as well to get welded up and the new rocket bunny spoiler fitted! As some of you know I am not building the engine at the moment for the simple reason is I don't need to for the power goal I am aiming for, I plan of redoing the full subframe and bushes this winter coming, so will get it done then regardless. Anyway, here's some pics.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
