gaz1 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 i know i would lose loads on this, but now my lad will not be having it, i am in two minds what to do, keep it and maybe single her, or sell it and start my new project, i cannot do both as already have 4 cars and nowhere to park another, so what would you think as a fair price, new steering wheel, colour door cards, and new strut brace to go on yet;) http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=885 oh and the trd spoiler is now on the right way now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Id personally after spending so much on it, go single. Youve done all the hard work so finish the project properly. Maybe by the time it is complete your son will be around 23 and you can still pass it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hi Gaz I'd perhaps strip off some of the parts (wheels, gauges, RLTC, dash panels, etc.) before selling her and either use them on your next project or sell them on. I'm sure you'll get more of your money back that way, rather than sell them with the car. She looks very nice, so I don't think you'd have too much trouble selling her if you decide to. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Gaz your Supe has got to be one of the nicest Supra's I've seen, absolutely beautiful. That said I don't think it's worth £18k (even tho it should be), you can buy a good single for that much. A lot of the work is cosmetic and has it even been decatted? What kind of power are you putting out? At the end of the day it's a 12 year old auto and they're going for as little as £6k now. I'd def sell off some of the parts to recoup your outlay. I think as it is you'd get around £12k, but that's totally my opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psymon Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Why go through all the trauma to get it looking like that only to have to sell it.. Can't you sell one of the other 3 cars you have ? Such a pity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 of course its de catted, running 420;) Sorry mate, couldn't tell from your garage. 420 ay? That's a real good figure, maybe worth a bit more then. Who knows? All you can go is put it up for sale for what you think and see what response you get. If you do decide to sell, good luck with the sale! Somebody will get one hell of nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob wild Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 If it was me i would keep it and go single! I really wasnt sure about going single because of the cost and fitting etc, but it really is worth every penny and sliced/cut/grased arms/fingers/legs during the installation process etc. Plus your car from the pictures looks like a true show car! A single would finish it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
