Matt - at the last weigh in the clio weighed 1.86 tonnes Cub - 2009 XK's are still a bit steep cash wise these days. The Supra will be a fairly cheap build I was thinking of leaving the spoiler off but it does look wrong without one I think. It will be a relatively small one though so not to...

A little weekend update. Jag rims now on and interior almost finished The spoiler is being changed to a shortened standard one

The Supra will be finished before the Clio now. It should be done for August/September all being well. The Clio will be started again as soon as the Supra goes away for Plasti Dip

Its been a while since I replied on here as the winter got in the way amongst other things. I've had a few problems with the Clio so decided to concentrate more on the Supra for the next few months. Here's the latest pics from the last few weeks....still plenty to do: Boot build being done...

I decided to change the design as the battery tunnel would have taken up too much box space. I've done a compartment at the rear instead

battery compartment and boot floor done today. Its not in its exact place but you get the idea.

well it looks like i've found the problem. 6 of the batteries were fine but very flat but now seem to be charging ok on the charger. The 7th one is down to 1.9volts and is that knackered the cells inside have started to swell....not good i'm thinking. More work to come tomorrow starting on...

Just when you think things are going well..another problem. I had an issue with some severely fried batteries. Due to the "ingenious" way i put the system together, there is no access to them to change them so there's only one thing for it.....the rear end of the system has to come out and be...

I could start a new thread but i figured you might not want me to do that as its not exactly a major build and its a clio forum.lol

saner is correct. Its having a jag XK front end conversion. Unfortunately i dont have shares in a glass fibre company but i do get it cheap. Luckily there wont be too much fibreglass on this build. :) Oh and on the lights...thats parcel tape. Fibreglass doesn't stick to it or go through it so...

bit more work done on the supra. fibreglassing the lights in and building up the wings to meet the lights. The bonnet line is pretty much there. The bonnet will be extended next to meet the bumper and go round the lights.

Bit more work done today. the rear vinyl looked crap so i've changed it to blend in with the rest of the build. Old New

no its only in primer at the moment. I'm having it plasti dipped gloss white so everything can be fitted and bonded to it first and then final coat done after

I'll be doing some work on the Supra tomorrow all being well so i'll get some more pics for you

the max power days when modifying was fun and anything went then..lol
