I was not going to put these up, looking at the amount of similar posts up already, did not want to bore anyone lol, but here goes.

 

 

Well just a few pics and an update on my Supra, as you can see its in pieces lol, new skirts are on and rear test fitted so far, rear wing all primed as well, just need to finish the new custom built front bumper and drop the new boot lid off. Bonnet is being a real pain and is going to need some serious work to get it to fit, but we are working on that. Kit wont all be blended, and doors will be built up slightly to create a raised line all round the car, so will be a bit different :) Rear bumper undertray section will be finish in Satin Black, hopefully will be all primered Sunday/Monday and car all painted and back with me by the end of next week, I cant wait..!!! Only issues is the Nur Spec R does not fit all that well with the Trial rear, but will modified the mounts with a big hammer till it fits better.

 

More pics and updates in a few days :)

This little local place I found, he mainly does accident repairs and classic car restoration, but loves projects like this, says its like a hobby and treats every one like if it was his own car, his work so far and attention to detail has been superb. Comes up with little ideas as well, like building the door up slightly to continue the line from the back, skirts and through to the front. Not badly priced as well considering how much work is being done, so end of next week no more black supra :)

Trig colour is still secret lol, but dont think I have seen any Supes in the chosen paint.

 

Greg the front show in my garage was a custom one, but sadly got damaged, so instead of fixing it I have redesigned it, details here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=102886

 

So although the finished car will have the Trial Rear and TRD wing, there hopefully will some custom touches just to make it a little different and the front will be a one off to :)

Are you sticking with the front bumper mate, or changing to something different.

 

(Tries to get a sarcy response from Rob S ;) )

 

:)

 

Nah, i truly dont care any more, im still pretty original :D

 

Besides, it only looks silly at meets when you get 100 identically modified cars next to each other, and i dont go to meets any more.

Oh no, now you have me worried about my Nur Spec fitting with my rear when I try fitting it this weekend. Anyone else got a Nur Spec exhaust with Veilside rear bumper like mine?
