b_hawk111 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Ah we are Back! But it seems that a few posts have gone missing! But never mind, my supra is here finally! Turned up all wrapped up in a Japanese newspaper which was a nice touch! Got to work cutting it out! All cut out and tried on the chassis with +8 wheels (good to be back higher than +3!)And my setup station turned up so I could get it all squared up, it was well out on every corner! So yep that's what I have been up to! Just masked the shell up today at lunch, and ready for first colour tonight! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_hawk111 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 It's almost done! Just got to wait for the last bit of paint to dry then the masks can come off Setup station I got off ebay for £28 I made the board underneath to measure track width myself so that was free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_hawk111 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Nice. Didn't take you long at allNope don't hag about! Yokomo say the window may shouldn't be left on for longer than a day anyway, so doesn't give you long! Going to take it back to work again today and fit the wing, wing mirrors, and sort out cutting down the exhaust to fit and drilling for the led Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_hawk111 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Another update! The end is near! The body is now been reinforced, put the bits of roll cage in, fitted the light bucketa, splitter and modified the rear exhaust to fit! Today I'm making a numberplate for it, fitting the light kit and then apart from a yokomo exhaust tip I think it's done! Just need to get out and use it! Update pics!

b_hawk111 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks! Yer I like it alot too! Nice to have a new body again! Nope definitly not for sale! It's cost me around £100 for everything on it, so if I was to sell I would want at least £130 for it! Which I think is a silly amount so it can stay as it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
