Supra Stables... We Got Them All Over The Place !!!

[Rickstar22]

Well, my buddy just moved into a new home. He had his housewarming earlier today. Mother Stables still has 4 MK3's here, and the new location is set up pretty well too...lol

Dan made sure to get the good spot...lol

His Fiance's... He hasn't sealed her spot in the shop yet...

Couple of the parts cars...

Couple of the projects....

The 240 is a 2J swap, but is really, really rough... Into the tough ones he is....

Still got to get all settled in, but all in all, looks like a great place.... I'm happy for him, he deserves it...

Looks an awful lot like my house lol, had to sell a few due to space

Looks pretty well settled in to me...

Wish I had this kind of space. Looks like a bunch of nice projects and good parts car to take things from.

Can someone please remove that hideous ricer wing from the parts car? it's hurting me knowing that it exists on a MKIII (even if it is only a parts car).

Already in the process... Looking for a Civic owner to give it to... Then there will be Civic Skeet practice for Selective Reduction... lol

 

[honestabe]

If you're lucky they will bring their ricer buddies and it will be open season

There's a wing like that on a 3rd gen Eclipse around here... I get a giggle whenever I see it.

I almost bought a house with a 4 car garage but it was just out of my price range, looks like this place has a rather nice setup too.

Busy day at the Stables today... One week until the PSTOF, and work has started to get the cars ready...

Started prepping the Blue Boys for some engine detailing...

Both cars are coming along nicely....

Didn't get far on the Deuce today, but he will get the full treatment during the week...

Spent most of the time working on my friend Dan's paint... Turned out OK.....

Hell, we even went after a Bayliner Capri and gave it some long overdue lovin' too !!!

Should be hopping around here with the big shin-dig next Sunday !!!

 

[te72]

Freaked me out a bit, showing a picture of the Supra, then switching to the CELICA's engine... haha, fooled me for a second.

 

[Rickstar22]

Uh Ohhhhhhhhhh.... We got a bug up our butts at home base here today. New project underway...

88 Turbo 5 speed targa....

Light tap in the front with non matching replacement parts, but a solid car with grey leather...

We have the interior fix lined up, and paint work should be easy... Thinking about this bumper for the front. We have sourced a rear that matches OK, just need skirts...

All stripped down, ready to pull out and fix him up with a fresh 7M.....

 

[jfreeman]

badass workshop you got there, mk3 heaven for sure. not feeling that front bumper^ but i'm sure it'll turn out damn clean anyways

I know... We are trying to change the Owner's mind... We're working on it....lol

 

[Rickstar22]

Well, got the red car here at Stables 1 all cleaned up. Just waiting on the head from the machine shop and the bearings from the UPS man...

Nothing to do here, but at Stables 2, we had a car ready to fire up for break in. Ran out there with my Prosport Gauges and my detail kit to get some stuff done out there.

1989 Turbo Targa Auto... No firewall plate but I believe it is 2O6 Black Ruby Pearl...

About as perfect stock interior you can have...

Quick work on the paint on the newly built car, and a little longer getting the gauges wired and tracking down the security system glitch in mine, but all is working great now..

Then everybody else started rolling in... Impromptu photo op....lol

Dan' car... Operator of Stables 2...

His Fiance's ride, sportin' some new shoes, already forgot what brand they are, but they are very nice looking in person...

The newly built car... This car will probably end up to a new owner down in California if everything works out OK...

Dan's buddy Colin... A very nice running work in progress....

Ummmmm.... Yeah... lol

and a newly acquired donor car...

All in all, a pretty kick ass day, considering the weather absolutely sucked....

Very nice! I'm not a huge fan of White or Black, but these change my mind a bit, they look great. And, your car is my favorite color on the MKIII, and it looks great.

 

[te72]

Still jealous of your "stables"... wouldn't mind a similar setup, but my property isn't exactly huge, so I might have to settle for just a secondary 2-car garage...

 

[destrux]

Nice setup. I really hope we can sell our house soon and get something with a garage. Having to park on the street is awful.

Thanks for the shout out !!! Much appreciated !!!

Yeah, it was getting a bit cramped here at the main location. We had one bay closed off to make a permanent location for the parts washer, table, basically a teardown and build area. It cut us down to 3 working bays. When Dan got his house, it opened up 3 more bays, and in his 10 acres, made sure he had a special designated area for the parts cars, extra tires, and whatever else may come around. Granted, no wrecking yard look to his joint, his soon to be wife would probably not be his soon to be....lol

Nice blue, what color is that?

Double post.
