Project Restore :-D

[01010011]

so i bought my second MKIII since i had to sadly sell the one all of you guys were so nice to help me with i know it sucks. But i was just about living in her and had no choice. So it has been almost 2 years or that have passed and i am starting project restore. ^_^ YAY!!! I went with an N/A Hard top for 500$ this time instead of targa top because i kinda grew tired of targa seal replacement and what not and getting the leaky roof syndrome. >_< So i will post pictures and what not of my general progress as time passes. Hopefully i will have the love and support of all my fellow MKIII owners to cheer me on along the way. I and i apologize for any improper punctuation and or capitalization..

what a friggin day..for those who are wanting to convert early 80's MKIII tail light from the not to attractive onces to the smooth 3 piece onces i took some pictures of that as well as everything that i did today

[01010011]

ok so the picture of me holding the center piece of the 89+ tail lights is for anyone who has an 86-88 body with the non flush tail lights

the object that looks like this

PHP Code:

 #                     #         #
===================================== 


there are 3 bolts which hold this to the middle part of the tail lights
for the late 85-88 body in order to make that part fit nicely you have to remove two of those lead screws this is how it should look

PHP Code:

#                       X         X
====================================== 


the x symbolizes the removal of those lead screws which means that little part is only held on by one screw i know it sucks.. but i am coming up with a work around to ensure it does not go any where perhaps gorilla glue..

let me know what you guys think so far ^_^

its actually not as bad as it looks all Toyota's deserve second or even 1 millionth life.. lol the interior is pretty minty although i did forget to take pictures of it i will eventually some time this week hopefully

as far as the plan im taking out the NA and swapping the gte sanding it down painting it night hawk black and do the 89+ conversion all the way around just did the 3 piece tail lights have the three piece turbo spoiler and im saving to order the 89+ trim package and eventually put the greddy a70 kit on my car leaving the interior red so i have my two favorite color's contrasted black exterior and red interior

sad i have no help though lol but for the time being im going to fix the head gasket on the NA GE just to give it life till i have the money to do the swap at the end of my project i will be making it an un official

3.0GT SPEC A supra :-D

please add me and this posting to help encourage along the way

nice project! seems were doing some similar mods to our cars. youve been fitting the 3 piece taillights and ive been removing and refinishing that same prior job, i removed the 3 piece spoiler and filled all the holes (the prior owner molded parts of the spoiler to the body) so i had to fill all those holes too. anyways, i just recently lined up my new bumper, installed the support bracket for it. now i think ill be needing a new intercooler (since it'll be exposed now) ill be painting her a charcoal gray metallic, with black features and carbon fiber thrown in. ill post a few pics.

Way to ruin a good pair of 89+ tails.

Did you paint the windows???

Looks good. The only color I like better on a MKIII is gunmetal.
