My 86 Supra sunsport build thread !!

[dshaff24]

So I got another 12 hours of working on the boat but It was nothing worth taking pics of. All though I did get a ton of my parts come in for me to start on - carpeting - lighting - stereo stuff - and this steering wheel! I believe Jason fron on here had the same one and I liked it,


Anyway I powdercoated the shifter base since the paint flaked on it and the tower is disassembled and ready to take to get powdercoated!

So as of now im looking for Guages - cheaper led lights that shoot out the back of the hull in the water - im starting to think of what size fat sacs go where

Have you looked at the bulletlines LED's? You probably have. Lookin good that steering wheel is SERIOUS! I found a small CNC aluminum shifter knob to replace the plastic and I love it. Small knob = more accurate speed adjustments imho.

Where did ya find a cnc knob at? And did it just screw on or you have to fab something to work? It wasn't in my plans but im definitly down for one! Now on LED"S i been on a few different websites that offer a ton of options, Im just sick of ordering stuff! I just got back from the interior shop to change my interior colors to off white - Black center stripes - Light blue outside stripes all on black carpet and I had the gauge panel redone in black and the panel below! Ill update pics probally next week

It was only like $5 and it was from RexMarine.com. I'm not sure if they still have them though I am trying to find.... There are large and small u want the small. The shifter is threaded and it just screws right on! Yessss

Hah! Here you are bud!!

Put 3 coats of resin down b4 I lay the carpet on thursday, After the carpet gets layed and I mount the bulletlines rear transom lighting then comes Misc wiring and Led lights for in the boat and then finally the top cap!



The plywood Sucks the resin up like crazy,,But not on this coat! 3rd time is a charm!

Now on the teak swim deck, I sanded it and was about to teak it but then I thought I don't like wood no matter how cool or nice anybody else says it is so I decided to give Line X a call and I found a place 29 miles from me to do it in 2 hours! FYI if anybody is ever getting a spray in bedliner Line X is the best, Looks professional, No runs, no odd thickness It basically looks like it should have came from the factory on a truck! So That is why I picked them over everybody else!

Now the inside's almost as shiney as the outside - looks nice. Which bulletline led's you getting for the transom & what's the plan for led's on the inside?

I buffed it just to see how nice it would come out on the right side of the boat, And I wet sanded the back right side then buffed it And it came out like new So im Wet sanding the whole boat with 2000 grit then buffing it!

as for the lights I went with the 600 series, Im just going with the basic series because Im not paying 500 + for the other kinds! Tygart Lake is super clean and clear for a lake so Im not looking for nothing crazy!

Ive been thinking im just going to mount white and blue leds in the gun whales and look into getting them put in my cup holders and storage areas, I got new guages so I also orderd LED 194 bulbs to light them up to match! Im not trying to go crazy like I see on some of the newer boats because I don't want wires running All over the place but Ill definitly have it lite up

Looking good. You're getting close.

[dshaff24]

New marine plug wires - electronic ignition conversion PCM prestilite kit - cap rotor - plugs - temp sender - high tq starter - new choke - belts -new fuel line - new fuel filter - etc etc etc



Carpet layed, Still need to trim and do the sidewalls up front since I ran out of time, Im finally starting to feel like im getting somewhere with this!

[Okie Boarder]

Looking good. You went with the same blue wires I just put in. I minimized the carpet going up the sidewalls and did a little bit after I put the top on.
