Guest Budz86 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Just read this whole thread. I'm very impressed. What skills did you have going into this? Have you taken bodywork or something? I only ask as it looks like a very good job, I wish I had the bottle to do that! But I know I'd mess it up somewhere! lol Seriously, very impressed bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucasl Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) I acctually ended up painting it myself bought 2 pack paint hardner and high build primer and went for it, one of the rear wings came out real bad so i just wet and dryed it and resprayed. Its good paint to use doesnt need laquering i havnt touched it from comming out the gun. The only experience with bodykits ive had before was fitting one to my old honda civic but I wasnt brave enough back then to paint it lol. As long as you don't rush and think it through carefully and are fairly mechanically minded its not that bad to do. Thinking of my old honda found a pic of it on clubcivic where I used to spend most my time lol http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/7237/photo01334qm.jpg Edited September 17, 2008 by lucasl (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 good effort mate, its not my cup off tea but i can see the effort you've spent on it, it does actually look pretty good and suits the colour well, whats happening with the filler cap is it just bare ally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I think you've done a really good job mate. Well done and well done for having the balls to do it yourself:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Thats looking pretty good mate, and doesn't look too OTT in that colour. I would have probably painted it white and stuck some castrol graphics on it myself, but that's just me. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucasl Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Ive been thinking of doing a gt supra replica on and off ever since I started the build, I am going to make a huge spoiler for the car and try make a tunnel under the car, Ive heard lots of people advise against underbody aerodynamics but im still gonna give it a try, you learn best by trial and error lol. I was thinking of moddifiying my rear wing quarters so they sit higher as on the car below im going to try make a rear diffuser similar to this one too probably from alloy. http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/5136/130061110zjgtctoyotasupya0.jpg As for colour schemes, I like the ones with red in them, I also like the powercraft supra but I cant find any pics off it at the mo. http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/9610/castrolsupravb0.jpg http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/8691/lmpw2.png http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/1803/supraadvanjgtc1024xx3.jpg http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/9320/suprajgtc1024qd8.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work, that's my opinion, but I'm sure others will agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I agree and if you want any help mate with any of it. Strengthening or anything else give me a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) Can you tell me who you got your kit off mate, as ave just priced up the kit through TS and its 10k, without the spoiler and bonnet, for the full on kit including everything its notfar short of 17k. Even though the price is in dollars you get the idea. http://www.topsecretjpn.com/jza801.shtml Edited May 16, 2010 by nevins (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
