Peter P Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hey Folks, So Matt and mate have been hard at work getting things fitted today. Rear end is almost complete and have to say looking mighty fine! Love it so damn much, makes the wait so worth it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was lucky with the seats as managed to get a set after the Speed was discontinued. Do suit these cars really well. 7 minutes ago, tayr said: Have you got some sort of wax oil on the rear? I’m confused by the finish on the back panel ?? Love the lights ! No mate, probably the lighting in the workshop as it looks spot on in person. No wax or oil, just polished. Lights are care of my good mate Harry Moore. He did such a great job on these, I’d almost forgotten how good they look having been boxed up safely for a year or so. Can’t wait to see what magic Harry does on my headlights as well, should finish the lighting off nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t an easy fit as I had the molded rear spats, but true to form Matt found a way to make it work. The two tone as well works so well, really happy with it.

Tyson Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Coming along nicely now! Love the diffuser also but will it stand up to exhaust heat as it's pretty close? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tyson, time will tell mate, but think it should be ok. Matt got the rear screen back in today with the new correct OEM rear seal (thanks Paul at Whifbitz for supplying) and the fuel filler flap cover. Rear is almost done and looking mighty fine. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, garage is in a right state, been a dumping ground on account of no car in it for over a year! Still, weather is good so time to start getting it ready I guess! Car won’t be home long as it has a long list of work to do over with Lee P and the team at SRD when it’s back together. Hoping it can be buttoned up in time for Go Japan at Brands in September.

Peter P Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Little update from Matt today, he’s got the rear carbon number plate garnishes fitted, and also the door handles are now on plus the electric folding mirrors have been stripped down and given a good soak in WD40 and re-greased. Passenger side working perfectly, but drivers side is still struggling to open without a helping hand. Hoping it frees up, but we will see. Just waiting on parts now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 Afternoon Folks, Popped down to see Matt and the car this morning. Front bumper is now on and looking mighty fine. Front indicators are all wired up and working, plus the front number plate and flipper are all done and working well. Hoping the front screen turns up next week.

Peter P Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hi Folks, Had some more news and photos from Matt today. New windscreen and seal fitted along with the new rear quarter glasses. Front screen trim has a couple marks in it, but think that’s pretty normal and to be expected really (from storage/packing). It’s another big step towards getting the car finished and back on the road. Big thank you to Matt and his brother for getting the glass work finished. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 Afternoon All, So bit more progress on the interior. All glass work now in so cabin is dust free. Matt has been busy installing the rear seat, the reverse camera mirror is now in, as are the carbon inner door handles, lower carbon glovebox and carbon centre console lid. The new boot mat and floor mats are also in. Unfortunately my Carbing rear strut brace doesn’t fit. Annoying as I had it powdercoated in the dark copper to match the front brace. It’s not even close as it’s too long. I’ve decided to hold off on fitting the carbon windscreen scuttle panel, will look at this again when we paint the engine bay. Ordered a new OEM scuttle panel in the meantime, so once that turns up we can get the bonnet fitted. Once that’s done we are just waiting on the new wheels and my reworked headlights from Harry Moore. Car can then go to SRD for the next stage. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m12aak Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Actually, I thought the Carbing rear brace also bolts into the 4 holes that the OE bracing uses? Maybe you've been sent the wrong one by accident? I don't know why this didn't occur to me when I saw your post yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It 100% said Supra MK4 / JZA80 on the label. 1 hour ago, Supra-love said: God I hope my carbing braces fit did you buy from Whifbitz?

Just not an issue I ever expected as Carbing are supposed to be the best out there and the front brace fitted perfectly. Just my luck I guess! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
