Cleaned the Supra - Ready For The Shows

Recommended Posts

Evening All,

 

The car hasn't seen much daylight since the LMM meet at the end of Jan so as more shows are coming up I thought I'd give the Supe a good going over, I nearly have all the body panels wet sanded (has taken me weeks) to get rid of the orange peel effect and have been polished back to give a perfect mirror reflection :D (In the first pic you can see my next wet sanding project in the background on my drive :) )

 

So enjoy:

Good effort mate!:thumbs:

 

Black is hard to maintain, but is the best colour polished up!

 

Cheers :thumbs:

 

Looking good mate, wet sanding is brave isn't it? Seems you know what you are doing though!

 

Thanks :)

 

It is brave but have been doing it for a few years (detailing is a hobby) and have just about got it down to a T lol

Looks great bud. What are the wheels? BBS RK's? Or something close

 

I say go for the UK scoop, im a big fan of them and think they just add that little bit extra to the car. It looks especially mean on black supras. Just look at Geo's :D

 

Cheers, they are actually ASA wheels, but I snapped the original centre caps so fitted an old set of BBS centre caps I had :D

 

It's was Geo's build thread that made me first want (and then buy) the UK scoop weirdly lol

gorgeous supra! either with or without the uk scoop, maybe worth photoshopping the scoop on before you choose

 

I think I will have a play with photoshop I know there are lots are black Supra's with the scoop but I won't be able to decide until I see it on my own car lol

Thats come up very well mate great effort ;)

 

Cheers Jamesy

 

Outside looks awesome, but i must say, under the bonnet this car looks rediculously mint :)

 

Very nice work!

 

Thanks for the kind words, spent quite a bit of time on the engine bay as I want it to look as new/pristine as possible :)
