tomgeer Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 well, i now have different wheels, courtesy of Suprajoe. Not the same as the film but a lot closer than the one's i had on. Pics to follow when i can get home and it's still light How about these pictures with the new wheels Peter? I've been keeping an eye out for days now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbryant_knight Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 I took these pics yesterday but just loaded them to the computer now. Good job too cos it's raining mega heavy today. Here it is with the new 5zigen wheels. Not the same as the film but a massive improvement and i like these wheels a lot. I'm really happy with the way the car has turned out so far and the overall look. Certainly is a head turner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbryant_knight Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Thanks for the comments guys. It's good to re-read this post from the beginning, when i knew nothing about Supras and look at the progress i've made. Looks a world apart from when it was Pink lol.

Gaz6002 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Now you just need wheels, single turbo and some holes in the roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbryant_knight Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Love it or hate it i suppose it's the Supra that everyone remembers. Probably the most famous Supra in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danny220 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Very brave and no one has to like it but you. If you're getting enjoyment out of it all credit to you. When I first saw fast and furious I thought that's my next car but I wouldn't want to copy someone else's design, I'd want something a little more unique.

benkei Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Looks great! Big improvement! What's next on the 'to-do' list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optim8 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I think you've done a cracking job on it, especially turning the whole thing round in just over 2 months, that's a real credit to you, most people would still be thinking about it!!! Hope to see your work at one of the future events. Love your KITT too by the way, thought it was the best show ever when I was a kid. Cheers.

pbryant_knight Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Looks great! Big improvement! What's next on the 'to-do' list? Dunno yet. I'm busy thinking of the interior. As it's my daily driver and need to keep all 4 seats (for what worth the back ones are anyway) i'm making a panel that will fit accross the rear seats when folded down to mount 2 fake NOS bottles on and maybe some neons and a fake amp (i'm not into the loud banging bass music that everyone else outside has to put up with so don't really want a real one) Also, now i'm happy with the exterior i'm gonna lay off for a little bit while i pay of my credit card. Do some cheap things then maybe re-cover the seats in blue and black suade/leather when i have some extra cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) Would be nice to finish this off with the right wheels but I know they'll be very difficult to get hold of edit: facelift lights would go really well too, i think the movie one had them? nice work on the quick project Edited November 30, 2009 by Tom (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do some cheap things then maybe re-cover the seats in blue and black suade/leather when i have some extra cash. I'd definately say colour code the interior. If you want the keep the back seats then get them coded to match too: black with a blue middle. You could always get the rear 3 windows fully tinted so no one can see inside? Would save fake NoS bottles and/or subs if you didn't want to add them/or needed the boot space as it's your daily? I'd love this car, or one like it as a daily You'll make a lot of people jealous! On that point; I'd get a top-notch alarm system installed, and some cameras watching it over night.

pbryant_knight Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 I have a decent Cobra alarm system but am considering getting a tracker fitted. Would like to get 2, one for each car The reason i want the fake one's is so that the panel can be removed so that the seats can be folded back to the upright position if needed. I'm a DJ and it's hard enough to fit my gear in the car as it is without losing the extra space. I've already lost the spare wheel to fit it all in lol.

Supragaz Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Car is looking much better now mate. The Bonnet and Bumper make a massive difference. Think those wheels might look better with spacers to bring them out a tad as they seem a touch recessed, loving the progress though. Keep up the good work Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraturbochris Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 got to say mate, looks wicked. Credit to you, been watching this thread for a while now. Just get them wheels and lower her then she will be spot on. well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
