Absolutely crazy prices. I guess that’s why this is being taken on as a repair then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonc Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Wow just read through the topic. In this country most would write that baby off. Good to see someone trying to keep it on the road. I suppose US prices make it worth it:blink:. That rail took a right hammering but I suppose ultimately did it's job. Hope it straightens up ok. Good luck and keep us updated. Shame the previous owner could handle the extra horses but I suppose it could be your gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonc Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Good news. We write quality cars off far too early in this country. The tech out there now means s lot more could be repaired and saved. Nice one. Still watching with interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudsey Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Glad your workshop had some good news for you. How much are they charging you for work out of interest? It’s not often this type of work is completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonc Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I'm no body work expert but if pulled out properly and worked correctly most ( I will admit not all repairs) repairs will put back in the crash strength and crumple zones. The man hour costs can be large mind.!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRAMAN352020 Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 Well i have not been able to find a mechanic to go install the timing belt on my car. I guess the body shop is gona put it pack together primer it and im gona have to send it to a shop so they can check the motor out. 2 mechanics have went but they dont have the tools to do it they claim theirs a special tool they need and that tool can only be used on the supra and nizzan 3oo.

That will be the crank pulley locking tool. Its used to get the crank pulley bolt off, enabling the crank pulley damper to be removed, providing access to the lower sprocket.
