moonstone 3 door tidy supra diff, zeitronix, rota gtr's
hi. i decided why finish one project when i can just start another. i recently bought this. it didnt come with an engine or wheels & needed a good tidy up. im not doing anything fancy, just a bit of paint & some powdercoating. i plan on using it all year round in any weather so i cant see the point in a painted floor
ill add more pics as the work is done. hopefully it will be on the road this side of christmas

the car was just painted. im just painting under the bonnet & the door shuts. i replaced one of the wings as it had been replaced many years ago & not painted inside so was going crusty. also someone (possibly freddie kruger by the looks of it) had butched the return lip off. for the sake of Ł30 a new wing was fitted & painted

stainless bolts for the front
the bracket that holds the abs block on was rotten so i quickly knocked up another
started to strip the old tape off the loom & re tape it
painted the wiper mech & re fitted with stainless bolts
this is the filth i work in lol

done a little more over the last couple of days. picked up the powder coating, finished tapeing the loom. got some new brake pipe clips, fitted the abs pump & block. i painted the header tank & power steering tank wrinkle black but im not happy with the finish, so ill either do them again or just get them powder coated
had the powder coating done in meatllic grey. i just though it would be nice as all the powder coating was done black on my saff
the original loom clips were broke so i replaced them with cable tie mounts

although the car wasnt painted that long ago the door shuts weren't painted & looked a little tatty. ive now painted the shut, sill & inner rear arch on one side. hopefully have the other side done next week.
also bought a set of wheels off of dangerboy on here. not got them yet but here's the sale pic of them

go my new wheels & im happy with them. will probably run around 10mm spacers on the rear. fronts are fine. painted the drivers side door shut, inner rear arch & sill
the outer bolsters on the front seats were fooked so orderd 2 new ones from ebay.
passenger side wasnt much better
gotta try to get over to my mates to give all the seats a hot steam clean & wet vac
also got the insides of the doors painted today. hopefully get them fitted sunday

looks nice mate, dont jetwash the seats, it loosens the dirt in the foam underneath and it soon seeps through to the top again plus they will start to smell soon after, i strip the seats and put the cloth in the washing machine they come out like brand new, only takes half hour to strip the seats too

cheers. very easy to do the bolsters. just remove the seat reclining winder, remove the plastic cover. there is a clip to remove from the dowel that holds th back of the seat to the base. you can then remove the material (its only clipped along the base. then remove the foam & fitting is the reverse. takes about 10mins per bolster once the seat is removed

done some more today.
seats were steam cleaned yesterday. there still drying but looking good
my mate jarrold gave me a hand re fitting the doors
painted door shuts
i blew a load of old engine oil into the sill to protect them from rust, hence the puddles on the floor
carpets in. wish id taken some pics of this before it was cleaned. it was flithy, cant believe it actually came clean
door cards cleaned & fitted (still wet hence they look patchy)
hopeing to have the rear axle off tomorrow or tuesday so i can get it over to the powdercoaters
