Well as most of you know, I have my Aerotop project keeping me busy, but I thought I would put a project up for the forgotten Supra, the underdog Supra. This is the car that was used as the donor for the aerotop, it was imported as a TT6 with some goodies, however, it was then stripped of everything and it was then demoted to becoming an N/A Auto as the engine that was in the aerotop was put in this, after it was stripped of everything decent it looked like so:

There was a dent in the side from where a moman hit it, there was scratches galore and it was just looking tired, so I felt it was time for the unsung hero to rise and have now started work on it with it eventually becoming a TT6 again (TT next year at least)

 

I also didn't really like the Ridox front either(too square for my liking, so stock front went back on:

So first up, I got it resprayed to freshen it up and picked it up last week looking like so:

Then I felt it was really lacking in the wheels department, so I ordered these on the weekend and they arrived yesterday, much better:

attachment.php?attachmentid=135601&stc=1&d=1310067857

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=135602&stc=1&d=1310067913

 

The front was starting to annoy me aswell, so on Monday a new lip was ordered, which turned up today, hopefully to get sprayed over the weekend:

Hopefully, everything should be moving at a fair rate, so expect lot's of updates. It's nice having the Aerotop though as it means I am not performance focused with this one, I can just get on and go purely for looks without having to spend money making it go faster.

what did you do with the ridx front dude ?

 

Sold it to BarneyBrendon :)

 

nice work there, it's a nice looking car, will look good with the front lip, will you be trimming the wing bits?

 

Thanks, going to keep the wings at first as I can always trim them off at a later date if I think it will look better.

 

You got ran into by a Mormon? :blink: :D

 

Didn't even notice that:d
