SaqTRD Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Mate! Firstly huge congrats on doing this all yourself! I'm glad its how you wanted it to be. I personally actually like it. Take the advice of moving the FE and take all the hating on the chin. Also dont let people here who dont like your car stop you from attending shows. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but theres was of putting your message across. Its called being tactful and is what makes a successful forum.

Shane Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Kev, well done and enjoy it, as someone mentioned earlier though, it's never finished as you will always find something you want to change. I think you should be proud of your efforts and at least you were not scared to get stuck in and do the work yourself, learning things as you went along I would guess. Lots of modified cars are owned by people who wouldn't know how to use a screwdriver in an emergency and pay someone else to do the smallest thing. Not that there's anything wrong with that as it's their car, but they do miss out on the enjoyment and the satisfaction you have experienced doing the work yourself. OK there were moments of priceless entertainment while you were doing it, but you took it in good spirit and kept your direction. For me I like the look (but guess I am a little biased), but hate those eyebrows. But did I read somewhere you were going to lose these? Anyhow, it's your car and if you like them, hell keep them on. Oh and as Saq say's, do not be put off bringing it to shows by other peoples opinions and comments. Its your car and work so be proud of it.

nuttynutz Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I like it, well done. not keen on the rear lip/bumper and brows though. finish it up with clear or smoked side repeaters, dye the carpet black and relocate the extinguisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiFlash Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Well done for all the effort you have put into this car, you have done a great job within your budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrastang Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Strangely I think it looks pretty good, IMO it needs a UK hood scoop and move the FE, you can put them on the floor right next to the tunnel and they don't get in the way. I want a hood scoop,where can i get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubbyTwo Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Going by the size of it I think you would be lucky if that extinguisher put out a lit cigarette. Certainly wouldn't do much in a real world situation. I had one of those a while back, used it on a track day when an evo caught fire. We got about 10 - 15 seconds of powder out of it hardly did anything but make a bloody huge mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgeer Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Well done Kev, you've done a good job on the paintwork, it looks much better than I thought it would when I first read your thread last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Fair play that you've now got it how you want it.... not my taste at all, but then there's a ton of Supra's on here that also aren't to my taste, it's a varied world we live and as long as you like it that is all that counts. I don't like it, but I respect you for doing it all yourself and putting up with the flack you get here. A few things that would finish it off and 'compliment' the work you've done is : 1.) Get the interior carpet all one colour, 2 shades of black and a shade of grey doesn't look great. Dye it all the same colour black and it will look a million times better. 2.) For safety reasons move that fire extinguisher somewhere safe and somewhere you can easily get to it (passenger footwell by trans-tunnel would be ideal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Fair play Kev, that works really well. You should be proud of yourself as you have put a lot of effort into it. The wheels set it off beautifully. I'm not a fan of the nose or the eye brows, but then I dont like Top Secrete either. And having said that it works just fine with the paint, agressive.

jimmy1985 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Well done dude ! its good that you have done it all yourself, it makes it more your own car. I like it. I thought this forum was friendly but there are some comments that have been made that are just dam rude !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Well done of doing the work yourself. It looks like you've done a great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BazzaAlpine Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Well not a fan of satin body work and eyelids but it's you car and kudos for doing it how you wanted it. Glad you like it and hope you to get to properly enjoy it soon. I do agree with the comments (that weren't being offensive about it) about moving the FE. You have the rear seats out so put it smack bang in the middle (Oh and possibly paint it blue with red NOS all over it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Apart from the aforementioned eyebrows and stickers I think youve done a great job The rear spoiler looks good. But heed the advice, move the extinguisher, stick it on the floor or the trans tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackin_n_bashin Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Well done fella, I'll happily echo a lot of the good comments on here. Really like the fact you've stuck to your guns from day one, and ended up with YOUR car. Good work on the rear seat delete too, may have to pop over and pick your brains on that if your around in a few weeks if you wouldn't mind.

Nic Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Exactly nic, thats why i wont carry anyone for the time...im not joking. And when i do i will more than likely relocate... Please do, if a mate asks for a lift don't risk it. If you need an illustration of what a Supra crash can do to a passenger, look up John Graziano on Youtube, he was Nick Hogan's passenger when he totaled his car.

Purity14 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Great, Now that its finished, all you need to do is remove the fire extinguisher, remove the decals, get rid of the veilside and get a nice spray job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i would rather have died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
