Hows the new Mkiii going mate???

Anything to report?

[Gareth B]

It puts a smile on my face when I take it out :)

I haven't had much chance to do any work on it yet, given it a clean out inside where it had been neglected for a while and the interior is in good shape.

Still can't locate the leak in the boot which is a nuisance as it's soaking in there, the carpet appears to go up the back of the seats, haven't had a good look yet does it come out?

All the electrics seem to be working fine including the climate control, need to have a look at the drivers window runner.

Main issues are the rocker gasket, break pads and maybe a new air filter as the one on there (HKS Superdragger- i think) has seen better days.

Oh and that leak and getting the carpet out to dry it out!

Still not bad for the money, just need to sort the missus out at the moment because she is not happy with me palming the Mondeo off on her after we sold her mpv. So I need to get her a little run around before I know how much money I can spend on the Supra.

Sweet

For the leak check the rear lights at the top where they seal onto the body work, if its not that check the spoiler center support!

The carpet should pop out if you prise off the clips on the back of the seats

As for rocker gaskets they all do that at some point... best bet is new gaskets, and replace the naff screws with decent alan head bolts (I'm looking for a decent source of these).

Cheers I'll try and take a look tomorrow

Just seen that other one for sale hmmmmm.

Am I meant to feel sad that someone else has tripped and fallen down the same slippery slope that I did......

or be glad I'm not alone?

Beware.. its addictive!!!!

Just on no accounts hit eBay for parts!!!! Thats even worse!

[Gareth B]

Lol, I know what your saying. I'm not sure I've got the funds available (or rather can justify spending them) for getting in too deep.

However I'm sure i can justify selling the Mondeo to fund a nicer example Supra than the one i have now or a Celica

( My fingers just typed that without my knowledge or input - scary)

I blame your sig.

welcome to the supra forum gareth, good buy i think.

any pics yet? baz

[Gareth B]

No pics yet mate which is stupid because I should have taken some when i first got it before i cleaned it up.

I'll get some done and post them up soon, it's just been a busy week with my twins off school with the flu and other family dramas and there was me thinking I would have a nice week off work tinkering

[mad welshman]
