scutch0 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Cheers for all the nice comments ^^,It's taken all winter and spring to get it to this stage, the front of the car was painted shortly after I first bought it and the guys who dd it used the wrong shade of paint, so I've taken the plunge and resprayed the front of the car myself, as I couldn't afford to get a bodyshop to sort it.I'm just glad it's come out as well as it has.I'll upload some better pics soon.How did you make the gauge pod?!?Looks awesome....if it aint too hard i'd like to try it. MikeIt took a bit of time, firstly I laid out masking tape over a section of the dash and used it as a mould and coated it in fibreglass mat, since that was dry I used some plastic foam board to create a gauge holder and then bonded it to the fibreglass. Then I converted the outside in a thin layer or fibreglass mat to get a rough shape, then a skim of fibreglass filler over it to create the shape, then finally body filler over the top, paint, and the it was done.Here's the three stages I took pics of.

scutch0 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Well the supra let me down for the first time last week, (2 an a half years of ownership isn't bad I guess!) the starter motor just gave up at half 1 in the morning So I bought a rebuild kit (for £13.50 delivered! ) and decided to get it sorted today. Thought I'd document it too.Firstly, it's a starter motor on a supra, it's not gonna be easy to get to is it?It's behind the inlet manifold and is only accessible from underneath, also the bolts are in a rediculious place, and you need an assortment of universal joints and wobble bars to even get to them :@Once I had it loose I realised that everything was in the way, and I was gonna have to move something else to get it out, so in the end I unbolted the clutch slave cylinder which meant if I spun the starter on its back, and unbolted the fuel filter I could wiggle it out!Success!Next I had it on the bench and started stripping it down.The old plunger was ok, but as I had a new one in the kit it made sense to change it...New vs oldContacts outCheck out the step on the old contact! No wonder it refused to start!Rebuilt ready to go!Refitting it was a little easier until I realised the axel stands had sunk into the tarmac and the car was now about an inch lower than before :@While I had the front of the car up I gave the bushes a once over trying to find an illusive knocking noise, which I'm now pretty convinced are just noisy shocks... And I also decided to give the brakes a once over too, all good so I repainted the calipers as the paint had seen better days Here's how they looked, so I masked up the supra logo and after a quick clean they were ready for paint.Quick coat of silverSome vauxhall Arden blue and lacquerThen viola!Also redoing my engine plastics very soon.Also fitted my alloy dial rings And fitted my stainless steel heater bezels and knobs How it all looks now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
