Today it was time to uncover my supra to see the damage :)
I also had to move all my stuff that I put in front of my supra back to my spot.
Weapon of choice: Canon EOS350D with stock 18-55mm lens and a Sigma EF530 DG Super flash.

When I arrived...
Yes I know. I usually better at protecting myself. The next thing on my to-buy-list is a good 3M breathing gear.
I used glows when doing the previous layers. Don't know why I didn't on this one.

Today I continued with the seam sealer.
First I completed the undercarriage and then completed the inside.
After that I took my time, I eat dinner, bought energy drinks and so on, just to let
the sealer dry. I raised the temp. inside the temp to make it dry...

The idea was apply seam sealer on all the welds and metal joints today.
But for some reason I only bought one can...
I didn't get to far before I realized that I would need more to cover all the joints.
So I drove of to see if I could find any more at some gas...

Today I finished masking the supra and garage.
Total masking time is about 14 hours :O
I had some problem with my breathing gear, it got clogged while I was doing the inside of the
car so I had some trouble breathing :( This resulted in some stress so the paint...

I thought that today was the day my supra would get yellow....
Me and my girlfriend arrived between 10 and 11 AM and I thought that we would go home between
8 and 9 PM.
I did some last minute stuff before my friends arrived at about 11 AM. They brought some...
Here is some of the answer:
Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Zetec_engine) says Zetec/Zetec-E 1992-2004. But in the text there is this: "After small changes in 1995 to fix this problem the engine was known as the Zetec-E" and "The Zetec had another redesign in 1998. This version...

My friend came to visit me also and he brought his little mx-5 :P
It was the first time I sat in one of those (the old one) and it's smaller than I thought.

Today I went and picked up a fuel tank which I had bought over the internet
without seeing any pictures of it.
The seller told me that it was rust free and in good condition...
The price was good so I took a chance on it.
As you can see, there was some rust on...
Then that's the same as I'm thinking. I have done som grinding on welds that stick out to much.
On the outside of the visible body there are no un-grinded welds.
Thank you very much :)
Let me know when your thread is up so I can follow it. What engine swap will you do?
Today is...
It's not needed and a weld is stronger without any grinding.
But some of them are grinded down a bit. Reinforcement welds are a big no-no.
Any area/reason where/why I should?
Hello,
I'm in the final stretch before paint but I would like some answers before I paint it.
First of all, is there anything weird about what I have done with the body?
Battery tray; Is the fastening option that I have chosen enough? Will this be street legal? Will I be able to go to a...
