Ever check out Cascade Cars and Coffee at Starbucks Cascade Station? Every Saturday. Haven't been there myself. But I'd like to go soon. Be cool if you two ^^ were down to check it out and help me put some Supra presence on the place.
My Supra is going in for paint tomorrow!!

This is how we started the weekly meets. Was back last January or so. I met Adam randomly at a gas station as i was running 4hours late for work. We exchanged numbers and I started to text him when I got to work instead of working...yes like little giggly school girls. After about a week of making Adam's girlfriend jealous I texted him "Dude lets have a Supra meet tomorrow!" He was all like "YEAH!" So I ran upstairs and posted on these forums about our meet that we wanted to do. Was about a 20 hour notice? Adam had texted one of his friends that had a supra. So the next night I showed up 25minutes early from the said meet up time. Didn't think anyone would show up. Then Derek showed up (suprasick). Adam's friend showed up soon after that.. 30minutes late after said meet up time Adam shows up. Well you know how there is always that one guy that ruins everything for everyone? Yeah that is Adam. But this is worthy of a whole different story. We just started having meets like every week after that.

YES! I'm close to 205 myself. Let's do it! (except..... gotta wait a couple more weeks until mine is no longer in pieces. :-/)

Would totally be down...heard about it a lot though I still don't know the exact location
I just had it painted!! (duh..) so its all in pieces. Just gotta put it back together. And Oops, I guess I mean one week, seeing as the cruise is a week from tomorrow. :-/
I used to love going to the Cars and Coffee!! But sadly I work Saturdays now. What about a Sunday meet-up and then cruise to the Red Door Meet? We could try for the 2nd Sunday in September??
Villy that's a cute story of your meet's humble beginnings I'm inspired!! Let's make it happen on the Southern tip of the state, shall we??!?!

HAHAHAHA Yes, I like your attitude
And okay, honestly, I have been so excited about putting the car back together that I haven't taken many!!! D: But thanks for reminding me, I'll take some tomorrow when I go out there.
THe only ones I have now are these 2 shots from last Wednesday when I picked it up:
(this one I've already posted, but here it is again!)
For the first 3 days, I didn't touch it, just let the paint cure. Then I worked all weekend long
so lame!! So I have only had my evenings, but so far he almost looks like a real car again! I mean, sure, I am an obsessive labeler to a FAULT so I have everything here, ready, in order, ready to go back on, but now that he looks so prettyyyyyyyyyyyy I just don't have the heart to put my nasty, dirty, 24-year-old parts back on without making them new seals, cleaning/polishing them all up, or buffing them or what have you. (See, THIS is how the long-term projects start..... but I already have one of those, and she's already getting jealous of the Supra)So, resealed the trunk last night and buffed my tail lights and trim/moulding pieces, now I'm working on resealing the Targa top and buffing out the side mouldings.
Then maybe by Thursday I can get the front bumper on and that all squared away....... I'm kind of working my way forwards :-/Better pictures tomorrow!!
Oh, but I guess I should add that I wasn't just sitting idle on my ass for the 3 days of waiting for the paint to cure, (well, I was actually sitting on my ass, but.....) I polished the shit out of my wheels HA! Which is hard to do without taking them apart. I think I spent about 4 hours per wheel, then roped a few friends into watching a movie with me and polishing away. They look AMAZINGGGGGGG.
Did I mention that I hate you? I've only been looking for a set of those for 15 years.Faye;1961323 said:LOL!!! No, no, those are the shit wheels off the parts car!!!

I think that you said something similarly in my introduction thread
I love love love them. I also have been looking for them for a while - not quite 15 years though, but it took me 2 years to find them. Hey! At least I know what they are and appreciate what I have!
So, I really should make you all wait until I make it out to a meet, but since its going to take a miracle for me to make it out on Sunday, here are a few teaser photos:
Enjoy!!!
And yes, this gravel driveway is literally where ALL OF THIS (minus the actual spraying of the paint) took place. And its Portland, so yes, my interior is completely drenched

It's been sooo nice lately and just the last few days that we've gotten drenched here in the PNW. Paint looks awesome though! Keep it up!
Do you know the size / offset on them? What tires are you running?Faye;1961646 said:I think that you said something similarly in my introduction thread

Very nice, Faye! Your enthusiasm is inspiring. Got me calling up my painter for a quote!
