Dnk Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Seeing as my mates place is a bit quiet workwise i thought i'd do some jobs on the supra. Front bumper is off and prepped ready to paint and the side skirts are also getting done. Ive taken the fmic and pipework off as well as i think the pipes will be much nicer powder coated, found some rust on the cross member under the rad but thankfully its only surface rust and should be easily delt with.

jevansio Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Yip the pipes will look sweet powder coated, mine are silver & keeping them clean is a lot easier than polishing silver/chrome pipework Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Should look very nice, easy to maintain and very smart you won't be able to find your car in the dark before long . I just keep pressing the alarm fob and look out for the flashing indicators Im contemplating changing the blue hoses to black but not sure on that one yet, Kev is sending me some he's got to see what it'll look like, might be a bit too much How are you getting on with your wheels ?
