DodgyRog Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) looks awesome bud! Thanks Marc Nice! Needs a set of facelift lights all round for my money, but great looking car non the less! I am happy with the rears, but I am not sure what to do about the fronts as they need the inserts sorting due to flacking. I don't think Facelifts will work and I have a full HID set based on UK Glass one's, so would be a really expensive change. I might look at getting new Glass ones later in the year After the weekends Dragonball I am really happy with the feedback from everyone and I am so chuffed I took the risk of ripping my perfectly good Supra apart to try something different Hopefully get it taken apart and back together in time for next weekends Japfest now:rolleyes: Edited May 8, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 looking good now. Thanks Brendan, just hope I am well enough for Japfest, you can have a proper look then Hoping to pick it up from ShellShocked on Thurday evening or Friday morning, then I guess it will need a proper clean again for the early start Saturday, just hope I can shift this Bronchitis and sinus infection in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Rog, it looked stunning on the Dragonball, truly stunning! The combination you choose was spot on and got a lot of admiring looks whilst in France! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Got these pics from ShellShocked taken at stages through the build, gives an idea of the work that's gone into it. There are a few more to come when I re collect the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 looking good but i would of flushed the front wing like a facelift and got rid of that indicator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 This is Jason work in progress, a Tigra pick-up, he wants a Supra as soon as he can afford one and this is Jared's RX7, been painted Fusion Green for Fusion's European Advertising campaign photo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 looking good but i would of flushed the front wing like a facelift and got rid of that indicator It was the original plan to put the facelift bumper indicators in, but due to the cost of them and the build going 3x over my original budget they were dropped, also I am not really a fan of the facelift bumper indicators, they always look a bit chunky to me I am hoping in a couple off years, when the next stage of the build starts, to be able to get the Carbonfibre Ganador mirrors with indicators built in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Abz, that's great to hear from someone that's actually seen her in the flesh, I am really happy with the outcome and feel it's been a gamble that has paid off thankfully There were so many awesome Supra's on the Dragonba11, considering there was only 20 odd, there were some stunners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) What does a flushed front wing like a facelift look like?? Delete the front indicator in the wing and put one in the bumper like this but when I have some more money saved up I am going down tis route Edited May 12, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put some up earlier from the Dragonba11, but just for you;) That's all the pics I have at the moment and it's back at the bodyshop now having the final bits sorted, hopefully for Japfest Edited May 12, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 hopefully, be sweet to see that arse in front of me the spat blending came out a treat. not blending the rear bumper actually makes the whole thing look better IMO. a 100% blended is nice, but without the lines some of the cars main features are hidden, having those lines there gives the car depth. im always unsure if ive ever wanted the high spointer, but on a silver car it looks friggin awesome. my first thought when i saw that spoiler was `dam im respraying my car` is it carbon?

DodgyRog Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Yeah Full Carbon TRD replica and an Original Jun Carbon Kevlar mix Bonnet, extremely rare now, the odd one's I know of have paint now or are fibreglass Edited May 12, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 ever thought of getting a carbon boot? i think it would go well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 I did consider it, but funds are ridiculously short now, I won't be able to spend anything of any amount for some time Engine transplant is the next thing or some huge dish wheels to fill the widearch without spacers if some decent 2nd hand ones appear I still drive the car daily at the moment, so have to still be reasonable on the cost of the mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Im liking it apart from how the front arch meets the oem skirt design, could of made it flowed better imo, but they just cut the veilside and blended it in wow you worked hard ha ha looks good, not a fan of them side skirts but the rest is gorgeous and them arches looks the bollox Well she is back at ShellShocked this week having some bits done, including sorting the the front end of the sideskirts. It's actually a lot more work than it looks due to this area giving a lot of the strength to the overfender, but Jared seems to have worked out a way of sorting it for a reasoonable cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Looks fantastic mate! Thanks We were talking about long term at the bodyshop yesterday and TT transplant is next, but then (assuming I have a daily runner by then) is a colour change think I have decided on a custom paint job of Black with a colour change to a deep vibrant red in the sun The idea in my head that I tried to explain to ShellShocked was looking through a large glass of Red Wine in a darkened room with a torch shining through It should look Black from a distance except where the sun hits the curves and it will glow Red with a medium metalic flake, but the Supra has to be a weekend toy for me to go custom paint, it's just not sensible while a daily driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Love the car Rog. Not sure about custom paint. Scratches and chips will be a nightmare to fix and match.!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Love the car Rog. Not sure about custom paint. Scratches and chips will be a nightmare to fix and match.!! H. Yeah that's why I didn't go down that route aready, but I am planing on getting a daily runner before the winter, so the Supra will be for fun then. I will be make sure ShellShocked get an decent amount of paint mixed up so there is plenty spare for blowovers and resprays. I have got used to the fact I have to spend on paint to keep it to the sort of standard I need to be happy, hopefully once she becomes a fun weekend toy I can make the paint last longer than a couple of years;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
