If i get a chance i will pop up and have a look ,next year i hope to be there why is you 1 not there this year?

I pulled the drive shaft apart before too, there are 6 bearings inside. Use a crapload of grease to hold them in place while you reassemble it.

Thanks spla i have 5 of them it was getting dark when this happened the 6th is still in it i think i might give it ago myself tonight see how i get on

Well keep at it, it took me a couple of hours or a couple of days to get it back together, not sure lol. Not an easy task I remember that much.

I will try my best to get it in right but its never easy

did ya manage to get the driveshaft put together??

Yeah spla a friend of mine got it sorted well maybe got the exhaust done last night loads of welding and cutting and time car was all set to go back to paint shop everything we had to do finished at 11 lastnight and on the drive home this noise came from back drivers side where the drive was done so will have a look today but man is my head melted from doing the front shocks and now this the coilovers on the back seem crap as well

dmac whats the story with your suspension?
You do know I have four Tein coilovers springs and shocks for sale?
Lots of interest but no cash buyer yet? I need funding for my own car!

I got cusco rear coilovers put in the back and lowering springs on the front , but the shocks and top mounts were fecked on the front and the coilovers are horrible to drive tried to stiffening them up and loosen them but they ride like i have square wheels on the back
So had a spare set for the front with new top mounts bought off anto a good while back for another car now have them in and the are fine just rubbing in the passo wheel arch
Back drivers side drive had to be redone last night as there was no play to move it around think the bearings were back to far and one coilover taken out caliper was missing a bolt also
So tonight is to take out coilover put back last standard shock in rear then i think thats it fingers crossed

Cashy id love to buy them but have not got that sort of cash spare at the mo missus will try to kill me if you still have them down the line who knows and to be honest i have had my fill of shocks for now

Finally got it back to sprayers so waiting for it to be finished

Im really liking them rims, you really need a low rise light conversion.

Im really liking that ol supra ! So difficult to find a nice clean example of one.

As for the headlights - dmac would you not consider painting the surround red?
I painted mine white after seeing one of the mr2.ie title pics, it's subtle but really finishes the front off nicely! Its such a visual improvement in my opinion it makes me wonder why Toyota didn't??

Spla i have a switch to stop the lights on the way up

Cashy i dont like the surround of the lights the same colour i prefer it black

great job on the car dude-looks animal. i agree, the light surrounds look better in black.

Thanks mister two , now the inside has to be done so if anyone has half leather seats for sale pm me please

Got my car back from aaa customs.ie on saturday here are a few pics to show their work

Have more to come

Nice .... I presume it is going back ......

They have had it twice first time 2 weeks full spray second time over 4 weeks to fix a snag list roof was fine when it first came out to be honest i think there will be more problems if it goes back in

the reason the paint came off there is because its really difficult to clean out them little gaps from dust and dirt so the paint didnt stick and came off, the right way to do it is to take off all panels.
I wonder what other parts of the car they didnt clean properly, wait and find out as the paint falls off over time, that rear plastic part is gonna crack all the way around, it should have been taken off,
get an estimate of how much it will cost to fix and tell them to pay up.

Looking good dmac. Have to agree with spla. The areas that are peeling May not have been preped properly.
Paint work can be very finaky. there are loads of factors to take account of like how long was it in the oven for? Paint isn't properly dry for a few weeks after a respray. Some people even leave it two weeks to even apply laquer on a fresh paint job. The smallest thing in the prep can make an awful difference in the finish.
Seen as its from a reputable paint shop they should be obliged to sort It.

Nothing worse than paying good money for something and getting shit ...

I know that feeling ....

Or ya could be sweet to them get them to give most of a refund or get them to fix it for you ..
Then ya could mouth about them to everyone.
I know that would be a bit childish but that's what some people do these Days.
Hope ya get it sorted man.

Hope it all comes together in the end for you as that is one stunning looking widebody!!

No spla the roof paint got damaged some thing in the clear coat went cloudy then they buffed the shit out of it instead of painting it

dont think i want them to sort it now i will see what happens next

Yeah Darren its a pain to deal with when people try to rip ya off

looks awesome, front looks higher than the rear in them pics.
i wonder what caused the clear to go cloudy.

It has standard shocks and springs in the back and 30mil drop in the front could just be that its parked on a slan

That looks awesome!
