supraszr Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Last year I tried to get a mate to buy a Supra. He's in the Army and one of his mates has an N/A Supra and took a corner a little fast leaving in the rain and from what I understand hit a tree. Needless to say he bought it as a scrapped car and with quite a bit of front end damage and quite a bit of machanical issues it's now back on the road 6 months later. Thought you would like to see how see saved a supra from the scrap heap in the sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraszr Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 First things first I got him to bring the Car to Devon and deliver it to my friends down at DJP motors who would be able to repair the car also I asked him to contact Jezz at QSD performance to source all the body pannels. Front Bumper, 2 wings and bonnet. And any other parts that may be required. So he ordered the panels and we had the car Jigged and panels fitted.
