The supra moves under its own power!!!!!!!!!

Witch may not sound like such a big deal but.... It was good to know the gearbox we kind of built (BMW box Toyota bell housing) And the clutch and prop shat that we had to fabricate not to mention the all fabricated gear linkage all works. It was a very happy moment in the workshop :driving: :driving:

Chris has been off work and working really hard. Its really getting close now. And hopfully in the next few weeks it will finaly be done. Then we can start work on the Soarer and then my z4.

I loved my old Supra, should have never let it go to Sweden :cry: :cry:
It only did 15 to the gallon but it was well worth it.

It was my daily driver but was worth it.
Don't know how much it cost the guy who bought it from me to drive it back to Sweden.

After a very busy weekend and a very late night night on Friday building a second box. The car has driven under its own power. The engine pulls hard the box hasten blown up yet and it all seems good. There has been so much custom fabrication work. Virtually everything has been modified to work and fit. I am very glad its nearly finished for now.

Hopefully after my daughter is born i will find some time to get all the jobs done to my car. The list is growing. And i am really fancing similar levels of customization in my car.
Some pictures.

:rofl: Oh how I enjoy the words of a yet to be father that holds onto some mad notion that life will somehow still have some normality....

You're not the first and you won't be the last Matt, we all thought it before the event... :D


Joking apart you'll love it................(sort of....) :wink:
