marcAB10 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 i'm not always a big fan of kitted supra's but i definately think the parts you chose will look great, i always thought the ridox front looked just like a more agressive stock bumper if you know what i mean.

That's one of the reasons I got it mate. Along with the fact that hardly anyone has it. I chose it for him. Always asking for my advice Dan is Lol, That's mighty impressive considering I chose the kit before I got the supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRALOOPY Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Today was spent rubbing down the front bumper (no pics of that as it looks the same but without rough moulded bits) Also making the plate for the aerial hole (could'nt weld it in coz I ran out of argon shield gas) Then started on the rear spats (un-facelifting them) Thats about it really.

pistonbroke Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Nice work on them rear spats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Well I now have the plate welded in and filled with chemical metal (not filler) and the bumper is now sanded and all the edges are now straight, I came across a few air pockets that will be filled in before primer but the front bumper as a unit is very well made although the finishing could be better before sale to the public. This is all for Dan really, sorry to the rest of you, the pics will get better once the fitting starts. Dave:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Cheers Dave, lovin your work bud Is this going to be a full respray again? No need really mate, for the most part, the paint is in pretty good condition. (well, in my eyes it is, Dave may think otherwise ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
