mustang Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Wow mate, you're making good progress! That green supra looks interesting, I'm not a fan of the colour but the modified VS skirts look fantastic, I think the normal ones are a bit too out there, like the rest of the kit. Are there any more photos of it? Are you planning any more custom bits like the sides to the diffuser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Wold love to have the knowledge, time, money and guts to do my own build. good luck with it and subscibed O you might want to tell the misses to not let the sander rub against her jeans;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for custom bits yes got a fue idears in mind that i have not seen done before . Sounds interesting, good luck with it, theres plenty of scope to adjust things but not many people do. I found a few more of it in the end, not very nice from the other angles though the skirts look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 well time for a small up date been quite busy on this over the last fue weeks and its almost ready to start laying some primer down must say a big thanks to the girlfriend as she has sanded nearly the hole car down on her own while i've been doing other bits also big thanks to brettjones off here for poping over and doing a spot of sanding to on the front bumper top bloke:D. his some up dated pic as you can see i have removed the rest of the glass and the door cards , also taken off the side skirts so i could get some under seal up behind them as there going to be bonded and smoothed back in . and as you will also see one of the changes i am doing is the door handles as ive not seen it done before and i like the flush look (i no a lot of people wont like it ) his the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) his the handles going in Edited September 1, 2010 by supra matt (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 bloody hell mate that is quick work!!! its unrecognisable now but i bet it looks stunning once its done - nice touch with the handles! Does look better flushed - i had my old ones removed althether and poppers under the wing mirrors - not much use if you get a flat battery though!!

supra matt Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 him mate ya i was going to do the de handle thing but then thought this would be a bit different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Impressive work:) personally i think kits look much better without all the smoothing, keeping the bumper and skirt lines just makes it looks crisp to me, maybe its just me but smoothing just looks wrong imo.

James Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 True, I'd just consider doing it now so that you don't HAVE to take the dash out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
