you need to get the camera ready and take a lot of pictures to keep us updated when the sup is done with the paint job. Good job at taking your time, it will turn out very nice. Im watching this thread very close.
Thank you thank you...camera is ALWAYS ready. I suck at taking the pics that are actually important though :icon_conf
I'll just have to take tons of pics and let you guys choose.
For now - INTERMISSION
Got a hat done :icon_bigg Also got the same for my wife and daughter but with pink lettering lol. What you think???
Website is not done yet though. Doing some early advertisement lol.

I'm impressed. My brother bought a non-running MR-2 (the lighter first gen) and it took us three people pushing to get it up onto the trailer. Granted yours is gutted, but still.
lol...yeah, is unbelieveable!!! This thing can be moved with one hand lightly on a flat surface. I'm telling you!!!!
If I can only have aluminum subframes!!! along with a bunch of other stuff...lol. Much much lighter. I've been looking into replacing the bumper support with one from another car, but I haven't had time to really do some testing.

UPDATE:
I've been stopping by the paint shop. The guys are all over the car. I'm very excited about the final product. These guys are very keen into attention to details.
Some things that are being done to the car are:
I'm covering the hole for the power antena (on the spoiler, not the body itself), the hole for the rear wiper arm, and about 100+ holes in the enginge bay :devil:
They will be plug welded for better results and durability. (I hope Duane doesn't think I copied him :nono: I had this idea for the longest time, just didn't have the money to do it...lmao!!!!
I also received the OEM upper nose. I was going to drop by today but there was too much traffic and didn't have enough time. Possibly tomorrow if not, next week.
I've been shopping for parts as well. I'm also working on the donor engines I have to see what I can and cannot use.
I will post some pics later on.

good luck
good luck

Looking good! Very nice progress on this build
I am glad you are doing the welded holes in the bay etc.. It is the correct and only way to do it IMO. I also filled the holes in the body like you mentioned Duane
PS: Copycat
j/k (I had to say it :biglaugh
^^^^ lmao.
I am about to copy that theme you guys got going on about the Fastest 7M in the world with very specific details :biglaugh:

No one likes the hat????
Time is dragging it seems. I told the paint shop "Take your time" and I mean it, but I'm so anxious to see the car done.

PS: Yeah, the sig I like hahaha :biglaugh:
I know it has been said but this is freakin awesome. Everybody always says to it right and replace everything, well you sure are doing it right. I really like what you are doing to this car. You really know how to take care of it. This is one build that I will definately watch. Thanks for making me jealous BTW :icon_bigg.
wow...
awesome.
wow...
awesome.
I am so Fucking jealous right now...i had to capitalize it to stress how jealous i am.
SUBSCRIBED.
SUBSCRIBED.
This has got to be one of the hottest Mk3's around. I really need to get one again. Beautiful!

Nickel and dimed - Thanks for the comments. Yeah, I'm trying to do it right, but having limited funds and being so anxious to see it done, sometimes I'm tempted to take shortcuts. No worries, I got a couple of people watching me and keeping me on the straight line :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
MKIII N00b - hahahaha, thanks N00b, hopefully is the good type of jealousy...otherwise I would have to get a restraining warrant for you
J/K :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
Imprezademics - definitely get one. MKIII Supras are just beautiful cars and truly for what they offer, especially being that old, is really a Ferrari with a TOYOTA logo on it in my opinion.

Yeah, that's must likely gonna be my case as the car is no where near done. Hope to meet you there.
Good Luck, I definatetly know what it is like to have limited funds. I am still looking for a new body. But I dont think there is any rush to get a project done. Like you said before, you have other cars and you dont really need this one, so take it slow and dont worry about rushing it. Make sure you got everything you need and if you have to wait a month, whatever. With all that you are doing to this car you will probably have it for the rest of your life (as long as you take care of it).
BTW could you prolly find out how much it would be to get the car sprayed with the liner that you got? You said you will be going again so if you happen to remember that be awesome.
good luck again and I look forward to some more pictures.

^^^^ true, I'm just so excited to see the car done, but I'll try to take it easy :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
As far as the under coating, I'll ask how much it would be to get it sprayed. You do the disassembling work.
The only reason I didn't have to pay, as I mentioned before, they owed me a favor. :naughty:
