Am bloody loving this. So so so fantastic, even down to silly details like the towbar. really can't wait to see this in paint. PS: this is a NATO hitch, that is just a 50MM ball and pin. An actual NATO would be immense..  |

Nato hitches come in various sizes... Here's one of the little diddy 5t ones You could pretty much fit the whole of that through the eye of the big ones on our Foden... |

decided to do a half day at work to get the shell finished prep wise  thumbs down due to being 8pm on a friday  but the shell (from a pillar back) is ready for isolator tomorrow, 1 door and rear bumper need abit more minor prep in the shut spaces and spoiler so they could get painted too tomorrow and boot and other door in due course Ash |

Part of me is horrified at the idea of putting a big industrial lump into the front of a Supra.
The other part is fascinated at just how your going to make it fit, following with interest.

slowly getting there, tested the one light bar outside and tis bright will be even better when both are on 1 door complete need to do the other door handle, sanded and sprayed hinges main bolts handles all seperatly so minimal blue could ever be seen  Ash |

Week or so later, few bits more done and wallet much lighter, still no sign of engine  New clutch 14" in diameter rated for 500hp and 800 ftlbs, turns out i have the wrong style flywheel so had to buy a new "older" style one my wallet is hurting   rear crashbar and towbar made up as i want to get the rear done, 5mm box 5mm legs and a 10mm plate   having a power take off under numberplate that will flip up so i can plug in a set of jump leads  both light bars are on, going to tint them both, basically messed the bottom one up so i will strip them down and take the lense out to do them  No picture but i have painted the rear bumper done the numberplate lights on them but waiting on a trim clip pack to show up (lost first time via curior and now snow delay) so pretty naff Ash |
