tayr Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 great work so far! It’s worrying about the rear quarters really. There’s probably thousands of supras who will need new rear quarters at some point. Maybe worth a message to the heritage team at Toyota? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I saw your car on the rotisserie a couple weeks ago, it was weird to see a Supra with nothing on it! Looks like a proper job, I'd love to get mine done in a couple of years once I've finished spending all my money on my house. Seems like a no brainer if you want to keep the car indefinitely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I know someone who can fabricate the arches onto the car if they need serious reconstruction. My own metal work guy remade oem arches for my rear. Utilising old arches and then by hand. Let me know if you want any photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Great work, enjoyed going through this thread and seeing this Supra being rebuilt. It's pretty scary when you start uncovering the rot etc but so satisfying when you see it going back together. Keep up the good work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 A few more items done 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Not a lot to add So the arch on the quarter I couldn't get isn't as bad as the other side was So James is going to remove the whole quarter and panel beat it shrink it to shape, if that's not possible then he will cut it out and fabricated a new one The rust in the spat area isn't a problem to fabricate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
