Rob_Mitchell Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Thanks guys for the positive comments, didnt realise it would get as much love as it has and even facebook has gone crazy over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 certainly something different on the supra front, seen it done on other cars - looks like a half sleeve! Very nice:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Been busy getting a few parts done and trying out little ideas. I gold plated the middles of my cam pulleys and left the lips chrome, seems to work and gives a good contrast. pretty much love my new bonnet hinges, took a fair bit of time to do but im very happy with the outcome and will add some bling to a boring area. need to crack on with the leather again now so ill post pics when bits get done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mondo HnS Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 LOL. small world isnt it. cheers its got alot of hours gone into that It's sensational!

Rob_Mitchell Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Little update with no pics. Finally after a long wait trying to find a engine I have decided to go down the built head and forged bottom end route... Didn't think I would get a easy ride on this build haha so I guess power goals have now gone up too. Many thanks to everyone who has helped search for a complete engine it's much appreciated.

Rob_Mitchell Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Cheers Jim. Very happy with the manifold, something different and not seen on a 2jz before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 There's a set of double sixes on ebay Rob, probably no good to you with a wide body tho? They're less than a grand but they've been painted or powdercoated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Prob my old set lol. Definitely no good for my build plus I have wheels.... Wide ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 There's a set of double sixes on ebay Rob, probably no good to you with a wide body tho? They're less than a grand but they've been painted or powdercoated. They look to be hyper black, only been affected by the UK roads and/or lack of TLC.

Rob_Mitchell Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Nearly finished trimming my dash. I planned on leaving work yesterday and working all night on the leather BUT as always you hit problems and the glue i use decided to go rock hard in the tin haha. hopefully have some more by monday. Not much left to do with the dash now, needs the edges glued properly and the speaker holes cut but thats it. i did get the rear panels mocked up and they will be the next pieces with regards to covering with leather. Overall im very happy with how things are looking and its our first ever attempt at any sort of 'full' retrim like this. Its a learning curve.

Style Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 When I first saw the colour choice for the leather I wasn't a fan but have to say I'm loving it now. Guess it reminded me of the stock cream interior and they usually look a bit tired nowadays. The carbon is a great addition to it all too, great work! Seats going to be along the same lines? Or is it hush hush until pics reveal all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
