Chingy Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Nice to see another one restored and back on the road 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Very nice, looks like a good build. Be nice to see some more photos of the journey if you have any? What’s left to finish? Be fun to see what you had to start off with, how was the underside and rust? Not many U.K. cars that are clean underneath thanks to our lovely weather and salty roads.

There’s not a huge amount left to do really! Reassemble the interior with the new Recaros, brake lines and some minor bodywork to sort then off to the MOT station! Nash said it was one of the cleanest UK Spec cars he’s seen! No rust repairs needed! I’d like to strip the car and do an under body resto at some point in the future to ensure it stays clean! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, that does look very clean for a U.K. car to be fair, good to preserve it at some point though. Doing a nice job mate, those refurbed Evo brakes look spot on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Welcome to the club @Gregory I remember this car, it used to belong to a member @Stuliet, here is the original sale thread https://www.mkivsupra.net/topic/207417-uk-6-speed-single-converted-from-auto/ It was taken off the road around 2016 and it was stripped for parts which was the last time I saw it.

Thanks! The car has had some history! I’ve tracked down a few previous owners thanks to this forum! It was also owned by Zeca @ Trac Art! Just excited to get it back on the road now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s cool to see old pictures of the car! I believe Zeca owned it around 2005, then Pistol Pete around 2007, Stuliet after that and I even managed to track down the guy who broke it to get myself some not so happy photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraTRD_MK4 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Lovely indeed just like me cup of tea. I do enjoy seeing that colour option on UK spec cars. Congrats on restoring her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
