Jord Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Your young once. Had i listened to my old man then sure i would have more money in the bank but really sometimes you have to let loose and chase what makes you happy in life I'm already thinking this, having sunk a fair whack in to my supra already and with more planned. I would have always regretted not buying my dream car though, so it's worth it in my book. This thread makes me feel a lot better about it though, having seen the amount some people spend.

Abz Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Jay_NW spent a pretty penny on his car! Also Axle on his 3.4 stroker build, not forgetting Ibrar & JamieP! They are though some of the best built cars... stunning in so many aspects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I think many members on this site have blown a fair amount! Not only on parts but labour involved. I know my 24ct gold build cost me a fair whack. Not one for speaking figures but mine was a fair ammount lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one for speaking figures but mine was a fair ammount lol Will all the detail that went into yours with all the gold I'm not surprised, has still got to be one of the best engine bays ever. Out of curiosity when breaking yours did make back anywhere close to what you spent on building it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonc Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Was broken and sold for parts right after the sale went through. You are kidding :shock::shock: Infernos and Kaans are the two projects I followed and I thought both cars would be there for posterity. The attention to detail on Infernos went beyond OCD Kaan don't sell yours to be broken mate:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is Jamie in particular has built a few high spec cars now it almost doesn't seem like a big deal anymore when he rolls out another one. Can I throw Jurgens name into this thread bracket too, you know that monster was not a cheap even if it is a Datsun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Very few on here restore.....Most modify! As we've started to see, stock bodied are holding good money but the supra will never be a collectors classic, because you just can't find clean, untouched TT's anymore.

There are still a few, and in Japan they command a big premium over modified examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make me more happy to see someone else drive it than make a few extra £. I can see this turning into a Supra stock vs modified investment thread Edited October 15, 2014 by Kaan W (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LasseV Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) I have spent few thousand euros for restoration. Firstly there was a big service for engine, then i changed good sets of new tires, changed new front and rear bumpers+new paint for them and then i cleaned up the interior i.e cleaned everything, de-ionized the smell and re-trimmed the front seats. And a new radio too. Complete stock car. Still there is a quite a lot to do: few small things, new exhaust (de-cat good quality parts) and suspension refresh. Thats about two grand more. At least. Edit: I did have to fix air con too. Edited October 15, 2014 by LasseV (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_24 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Well I recently discovered that someone had cut holes where the capative nuts mount the propshaft up. Literally cut into the side wall of the underbody on both sides and didnt re-weld up. Most likely to replace the nuts on the inside of the cars frame. Luckily getting this sorted on Monday next week and should only cost around £120 My brakes need a good looking over now, as I have been told they don't feel right and cause judder through the steering wheel. These were brand new brakes discs and pads in July. Hope it wont cost me too much to resolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
