Lee P Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) We have the pleasure of building yet another epic Supra for Jay Even though Jay has some other truly awesome cars including a Lexus LFA, Pagani Huayra and under ground racing TTG, his first love is very much the Supra. With that pretty intimidating array of cars in his garage it was almost scary to try and build a Supra that could sit amongst them. But hay, this is SRD and that’s what we do best Our aim is to have an all round car that is relatively stock body, pleasant to drive, blistering performance and also show car quality. So here it goes This is how we received the car, not registered yet so no plates. Been sitting for a little while since it got imported so has got a little grubby but was a good condition Car Pretty stock facelift VVTI Car, just some coilovers, exhaust and intake kit. First off was the strip down Edited January 28, 2018 by Lee P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Once the car was stripped it was off to the bodyshop. Colin Hibbit who did all the body work prep and fab work on the last Car was the only choice as we wanted the same high level of finish. Just like the last Car Jay wanted a smooth look so that meant some changes. Things to be done. Full engine bay smooth Underside prepped and painted in black raptor Rear wiper delete Badge delete Centre brake light delete Sids marker delete Door lock delete Aerial delete Rear arches cut All new seals, trims and quarter glass Body styling is fairly stock but with some nice additions. TRD half carbon spoiler TRD carbon bonnet RMM style earless front lip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
