I dont have much of an update as im still waiting to move into my new garage/warehouse. But heres what i have:
The plan with this car is to keep it cheap. It means i have to do as much as possible myself, and keep all expenses down. This means i only go for stuff thats important to make it run. (except painting the enginebay)
The car is still parked in our carport where i cant/am not allowed to work on it.
But nobody can deny me to look further into the car.
A previous owner installed a reverse camera - something i would have done a bit different
But i have bought another center piece for cheap (500DKR, 74$, 67?)
I got 2 extra exhaust manifolds in the car-deal. But i dont know if i should use them or the original. Any ideas?
Theres also 2 turbos included. the original that have around 1cm play, so its just trash. And another China-turbo that i will use until i find something extremely cheap.
Unfortunally i found some bad parts about the car. First of, i poked a finger through the spare wheel well. But i kinda expected it, so no big deal.
Another bag thing is that the whole bodykit is screwed into place, and then moulded. This makes it a LOT harder to remove the sideskirts without damaging it to much. I was hoping to get it of in one piece, so i can sell it to someone who wants the 2005 style.
And bonuspoint. The bodykit is a Veilside C-III

The interior is complete, and thats a HUGE plus! But im not a fan of the leather seats. But i guess theyll do for now untill i find something more fitting for this car
I saw some wheels in the other end of the country, and i had a friend who went to pick up a car there. so i asked him if he could pink them up, and he said, no problem. A few days later he dropped them off.
And this was the car he picked up. MK3 supra with turbo and manual gear... and no rust. It was a really good deal!
Anyway. as i wrote earlier, i wanted to keep this build on a tight budget, so i was thinking about painting the car with spraypaint in a desert army theme similar to this one:
but after i ordered 3 different colors from a local army store, i didnt like any of them
So ill end up biting the bullet and painting it with a gun. With also would be a better option in the long run.
Btw. does anyone know what this is? My guess is a boost gauge or a boost controller. i dont know for sure as theres no model name on it.
I also have a problem with the wheels.
Theres no lock keys, so i cant get the nuts of.
Ive ordered some 10 point sockets that might work on 3 of them. But the locking nut might become a problem. Any tricks to get it off that dont include an axe or a welder? I would like to reuse the wheels
And i received new headlights as we are required by law to have correct adjusted ones. And thats not possible with RHD headlights. Luckily they were extremely cheap
