Gabriella Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Plan to get: Sports car(Thank You Toyota) Deep dish wheels(Thank You Keron) carbon boot lip spoiler(Thank You Ibrar) Ganador carbon mirrors(Thank you James) Carbon diffuser(Thank You Adam), glass Headlights(Thank You Adam) Blitz nur spec exhaust(Thank You Lee), new steering wheel(Thank You eBay), new bumper (Thank You Japan spare parts), new side skirts(Thank You John), tinted back lights and wing lights(Thank You Noz),facelift bumper lights(Thank You Darren) number plate(Thank You Tony), new paint (Thank You Marty) and interior (no need to thank me). In September 2012 I bought 1995 Aerotop Supra I bought her as my project I had in mind for a while... My plan to remove was: Antena, back wiper, back spoiler, back stop boot light.. Without the spoiler, with diffuser on, new wheels and steering wheel... Time to get her ready and give her good scrub before taking her to bodyshop: Well I had few issues with people I hate so I couldn't take her to bodyshop ..I was driving like that for about three weeks.. embarrassing I pack the front bumper and off to the garage : ...for the last time: Supra is off. Time for me to do the interior, so I start from dash... Edited November 6, 2012 by Gabriella (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriella Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) I was going for a look, black and red So I decided to do my dash in carbon wrap And I changed my mind : Then my plastic pocket got damage .... so I accidentally ripped dash apart, I had to do it again and this time I also manage to get chrome dash rings: Time to do door panel arm rests: Just change my mind again about red interior so this is what I'm going to do now... Dash I will do in black material and door arm rests, seats, handbreak, gear stick all I'm going to do in black leather A little bit occupied at this moment but I reacon I will manage to do it somewhere In December/January 2013, can't wait to start! Then I got message that I can pop in and see the progress... Edited November 4, 2012 by Gabriella (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) That looks great, Gabriella! I'm very impressed with your flocking skills!

heckler Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 how did they do the paint? did they use laqure? if they didnt - you cannot polish the car as it will become shiney and the paint scratches really easily. I know, as I did this 6 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriella Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 No they didn't use lacqure. Yes I know I can't polish it, wax etc I knew that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mplavery Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Looks much better when you painted the wheels black Though i think you need to space out the wheels a little Looks good though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The diffuser ruins the look, I think you should take it off and sell it......to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Like the flocked dash. Not keen on the seats, nor the satin look - car looks like it needs a clean. each to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
