    I said a while ago ide make a thread for this...but i forgot.
    Anyway shes aweay for the winter now so i thought ide show you it.





    My daily drive/lover.

    The story behind this baby starts with me helping a friend restore a ford roadster, and upon completion he asks if i want a supra, im reply i asked how much he wanted, and then it clicked he was offering me a free supra.

    In my head i screamed like a girl, but i manned up and said ' yeh dude that sounds awesome'.

    When i got her she was a dog, but i loved her, peely red paint, COMPLETLY standard, and off the road for 2 years.

    Anyway a few months later and about a grand sunk into her she was road legal.

    1st on the list was coilovers, then i ***** red, so i nato'ed her and hence the name came along from a mate, she was forever to be known as the sergeant.

    I did other things like stripped her, all sound deadening out, LSD from a turbo supra, strut braces, buckets, harness's, deep dish steering wheel, and i went through about 4 sets of wheels until i found one i liked, only problem was weak offest :/ so spacers are on order.

    The engine is a rebuilt 7m - ge, has a fair bit of grunt, but it wasnt enough, so i recently bought a 1jz - gte, so watch this space as she gets sunk in.

    Im also starting down the Shakotan route with her but nothing extreme.

    She was lower, but to get her on my uncles farm without bottoming out she had to be raised, shame.

    Enjoy.

    She started off life like this.





    I know, gorgeous

    Then i left it outside my girlfriends house one night and some kind hearted person did this.


    No details were left either.

    So me and my mate took the time and swapped the whole rear quarter ourselves.





    I cant thank him enough, in that time too i switched the front ends in preparation for the front mounted oil cooler.



    And got my veilsides ready



    This really should have come 1st before the above pictures, but i couldnt find these ones until now, so enjoy.

            Wow, great job on swapping the quarter out. So when you say your gonna do a shakotan thing does that include big ass bolt on flares? Please do big ass bolt on flares.

                How do you find our car's double wishbone suspension is for running low offsets? I'm wheel shopping now and i'm curious if you've run into any problems.

                Oh, and fucking siiiick MK3 man! really love it!

                          No massive flares lol, but i want small bolt on jun arches if i can get wheels with a better offset.

                            Had some bad times today, as i had to let go of the 1JZ engine i had a deposit on as i have a welding course to pay for in feb and also it required a full rebuild

                            So back to basic plans.

                            Fix LSD and prop.
                            Fully strip and paint.
                            Induction kit.
                            Rear quarter exit exhaust.
                            Spacers.
                            and now starting this week repainting the splits.

                            Maybe more but its late and my mind doesnt work to well in the cold.
