Dnk Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Edging a little nearer to the finish line Goes over to the trim shop tomorrow to get the headlining done and the boot carpet, i'm contemplating getting a bit of extra work done by them but undecided yet. Their leather work is very nice Lower tailgate has been wax oiled so should last me out i'd have thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 It just looks gorgoues. have you driven her much? No mate its not been anywhere yet other than 100 yards to the trim shop. Should be getting it mot'd and taxed in the next few days along with sorting out a good agreed value insurance policy, the tricky part here is getting the value approved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Yer. Well its a credit to you buddy. I was looking at getting a range rover a land crusier eaely 90's models thought but i have got alot more than exspected with the supra at the moment. Still this has been a great build loved reading the updates from the wreck it was to what it is now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Headlining is in but need to sort out the discolored trim that fits round the interior light and sun roof controls along with new covers for the interior lights as they've gone a tad yellow. Also get the sun visors re trimmed Boot carpet is being made now and should done in the next couple of days. Tailgate is fully sorted bar fitting the decals and registration plate, i should have the replacement bonnet fully rust free in the next couple of days and get it into paint. Had a result finding the wiper spindle bushes as these are no longer available and mine were totally shot.

Dnk Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Dunk, that is faaannntastic . I would be well proud of that. Well done mate Thanks Andrew, i got it outside today and it's going to need a fair bit of work on the paint, possibly a re paint if i want it perfect, the camera makes it look much better than it really is. Got the wheels and tyres up to Ibrars in one hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Got some strange looks on the 16 mile drive to Ibrars, passed a motorcycle cop 1/2 a mile from his workshop but he didn't give me any grief. They're good for moving xmas trees in too but did get a tad cold that day Edited February 28, 2015 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Sun visors are nice and clean, another job crossed off the list Doing the same with the grab handles and the trim piece that fits round the front interior light Fitted new door seals as well today and fixed the front passenger seat, the cable from the back tilt motor had self destructed so a nice easy fix Small update: The grab handles are now back to looking like new, on route to fit them now then off to the MOT Edited March 6, 2015 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Good luck Thanks Luc Wow, great news, I hope its inaugural run is a pleasure to you. Reading about its rebirth has been a great pleasure here. May I wish you both bon voyage? Thanks Chris, glad you've enjoyed the write up There's still lots to do but pretty much all cosmetic now. Inside and out. A very serious clean on the inside is next on the list then fit the wheels once Ibrar has them ready Attacking the wood trim is possibly the biggest interior job left to do and trimming the parcel shelf parts in matching leather if we can find it Then attack the paintwork !!!
