Mk4 toyota supra cummins build + my other cars

[Rich]

Am bloody loving this. So so so fantastic, even down to silly details like the towbar. really can't wait to see this in paint.

PS: this is a NATO hitch, that is just a 50MM ball and pin. An actual NATO would be immense..

[Stiff]

Brilliant. I'm loving the way this is going!

[heathrobinson]

Nato hitches come in various sizes... Here's one of the little diddy 5t ones




You could pretty much fit the whole of that through the eye of the big ones on our Foden...

[whitz]

not much more sanding to do on the actual shell, 1 door boot and front end still to do


Welded up and smooth in so far ariel hole in quarter panel and mirror hole in door

Awesome build! How did I not see this sooner!

[usedabused]

Mentle build I love it thanks fir shareing ash..

[whitz]

decided to do a half day at work to get the shell finished prep wise


thumbs down due to being 8pm on a friday


but the shell (from a pillar back) is ready for isolator tomorrow, 1 door and rear bumper need abit more minor prep in the shut spaces and spoiler so they could get painted too tomorrow and boot and other door in due course

Part of me is horrified at the idea of putting a big industrial lump into the front of a Supra.

The other part is fascinated at just how your going to make it fit, following with interest.

[TerraRoot]

Part of me thinks why not a detriot diesel?

[whitz]

i bloody hate bodywork, isolator



primer, sanded 240 then 1200 few tocuhes up done to it



matt black, not a perfect job, few dust particles etc but I'm not after a perfect finish as its gonna be driven, paint will dull more overnight as this was taken about 30 mins after 2nd coat




Ash

Looks pretty mean, currently got 1 door rear bumper and spoiler in primer, now just for more sanding, yay



Ash

[mk2cossie]

It looks absolutely awesome in that 3/4 shot low down with the knobbly tyres poking out

[optimusprime]

Nice!

[whitz]

so basically just been doing bodywork and losing my mind while doing it

boot de-wipered along with washer and badge holes dented welded and filled




dropped the spoiler 


so many hours later 

[whitz]

had to take alllllll the blue off as its such a bad paint job 


picked my turbo back up after 5 months of having the turbo flange not made 







put the boot back on, shell is covered in dust, roof rack is on 1 light bar on other wont fit due to interference so got to do abit of drilling 


Ash

[whitz]

slowly getting there, tested the one light bar outside and tis bright will be even better when both are on 

1 door complete need to do the other door handle, sanded and sprayed hinges main bolts handles all seperatly so minimal blue could ever be seen


Ash

[fat-stig]

haha, what a crazy idea, I like it.

[whitz]

Week or so later, few bits more done and wallet much lighter, still no sign of engine

New clutch 14" in diameter rated for 500hp and 800 ftlbs, turns out i have the wrong style flywheel so had to buy a new "older" style one my wallet is hurting



rear crashbar and towbar made up as i want to get the rear done, 5mm box 5mm legs and a 10mm plate




having a power take off under numberplate that will flip up so i can plug in a set of jump leads

both light bars are on, going to tint them both, basically messed the bottom one up so i will strip them down and take the lense out to do  them 


No picture but i have painted the rear bumper done the numberplate lights on them but waiting on a trim clip pack to show up (lost first time via curior and now snow delay) so pretty naff

[lightyearman]
