RB-GTE Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Expert or not I would like to hear some feedback. I helped a good friend of mine in Australia purchase this Supra from Japan. It was originally purschased from auction, a dealer bought it and it was repaired, and put up for sale. I happen to have a white hood since I replaced my old Supra's with a TS one. He said he doesn't want to make a purchase till he knows its the hood. The car is in transport and won't have it till April. The dealer said they replaced the front bumper, left headlight, and repaired the left fender. Also the chassis support for bumper and headlights since it was bent and out of place. But generally it wasn't nothing that major. They didn't replace the hood though. From the pictures, do you guys think if a good bonnet was put on there it would fill all the gaps ? What I personally think is that during impact, it buckled a bit... so it isn't straight to factory spec. Can a piece like this be straightened out, or would it be better just to purchase a new hood? THANKS IN ADVANCE. BEFORE: AFTER - the first two pictures are the advertised pictures. The 3rd and 4th pic is the one we requested. It seems like the hood can be shifted back and forth since it possibley is bent?

Pig Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Difficult to tell. The owner needs to take it to a bodyshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 looks ok a nice white supra, all clean. reminds me of mine (when i first had it and it was clean and shiney lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB-GTE Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yep, its pretty nice just need to solve the hood fitment issue, and just trying to figure out if a new hood is needed. I'll be sending mine to my friend most likely. He has showed the pictures to some body shops and they believe the hood was just knocked a bit out of place or bent. So an undamaged OEM one should most likely bolt up and shut down flush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rwd Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 driver's side light seems out of line to me.i reckon it's the upper slam panel rather than the bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 It very much depends on if the wings, or where they are bolted to have been moved, but its too difficult to tell and predict from a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
