Happy new year everyone =) let's hear those new year resolutions. Mine is getting my car out of the garage on it's own power.

The front fenders are B&M's. They're hard to find new although i managed to get a set from Supraparts.de. Basically the guy parts out supra's and sells individual parts. Sometimes he has a couple of new parts though but lately i've had a hard time getting a hold of him. That aside, the...

I'll take that as a huge compliment coming from you :) I wish this thing would've had paint on it already. The rest of the engine and electrical work is probably something that can be done in a week or two (given the fact that i have lot's of other stuff going on right now). It was nice to...

Well, it's update time again. The last time i worked on the car i was about ready to push my skirts through the woodchipper because i couldn't get them to fit and align like i wanted them to. Gladly i calmed down, let the thing sit for a couple of days and then looked at it again. At first i...

Just finished uploading the new pics. Which means... updatetime :) Sanded down the rough patch i had yesterday and put a second layer of filler on it to straighten the last bits out. Perfectly straight. From what i can feel by hand anyway. We'll see how it looks after it gets primered...

Panther Black Mica. Black metallic with a green, almost pearlescent, hue under very direct sunlight and at certain angles only. Hardly noticeable, so basically it's a dark black metallic.

The entire interior is covered in dust. I have cleaned it out several times, but with all the sanding it is bound to get back in everywhere anyway. Plus the leather will be replaced down the road anyway because it is effing dry. The back seats have tears in the leather and the driversseat has...

Updatetime :) Friday i mentioned that i was putting a little filler on the "borders" of the targa, windshieldsupports and the bar behind the targa. I grabbed a couple of pics of that this afternoon. The front of the targa, driversside, turned out to be a "bit" to thick in the end Front of...

If i am not mistaken it's 12" high and 26" wide. Don't pin me on that, i'll check in the morning ;)

I was "at it" today ;) Well the afternoon and a couple of hours into the evening until the misses called me in for dinner. I'll have some more info on that and some pictures later tonight. The intercooler is a very basic thing, 3" in/outlet and a 3" core. Sadly one of the only ones i could...

Well progress... there isn't any really haha. Not since i last posted in this thread in July. Sadly. Didn't even realise it took me so long to pick up some sandpaper again. I think that also shows you why this build is taking so damn long. Obviously my business is taking up a lot of my time...

Last sunday i finally picked up the sandpaper again. Didn't get anything done during the winter because i sure as hell wasn't going to freeze my ass off. That said, trying to apply bodyfiller in sub-zero temps isn't really all that either haha. Anyway, i did some more work today with my newly...

I think i missed quite a few spots, but after putting that last layer of filler on it... i just didn't feel like waiting to sand it again... the fact that i hadn't eaten anything yet might have demotivated me a bit too haha. But seriously, i love putting new stuff on the supra. It's the sanding...

Update: actually found some time and motivation to drag my ass outside into the burning sun... I took the pass. side skirt off, cut the excess FG off and start sanding and filling. If there's one thing i HATE by now, it's sanding. But since there aren't any shops around that i actually...

Same here, we've been wanting to move for a long time. I'm actually prefering a large backyard and NO garage. That way i can build one myself... one that i can actually fit a lift inside and with enough space for all my (future) tools.

Haha, it seems we are all running out of space then. I have lot's of parts (some even from my past 2 donorcars) sitting on shelves around the car. I even have lot's of stuff still at my dads work and at his home. If i'd store it all in my own garage... i wouldn't be able to get the supra back in...

Haha yeah i noticed that there are much more ppl actually in this thread than i ever imagined. Btw, that garage will be cleaned and painted the second i get my car out to the paintshop. Can even walk around the car normally without tripping over anything...

Thanks Adam, and indeed Brad told me that too. However, i was a bit sceptical about how others would see the project. Which is actually why i decided not to start one. But now it's out there, i am going to try and update it as much as i can, weekly, if not daily.

Hehe thanks again for convincing me ;)

Brad, your wingtips are a lot shorter though. But that is the only argument that could change my mind actually... food for thought...
