cressida front end on a supra...

[alloyguitar]

had a friend ask me if this was possible, and my first reaction is that it isn't, but I thought I'd get on here and ask you fine folks if you've ever heard of it done...

...I searched to no avail, and I realize that everything could be done with the funding to do so, but I'm talking about a remotely bolt-on affair.

cressida has the same front end as a soarer??

 

[MassSupra89]

Not quite, but a similar concept.

It can be done, but it will be alot of work.

one of the sexiest mods you can do to a supra...in my opinion.

I can respect the custom work the would go into a front end conversion, but I just can't understand why you would do it.

Am I the only one that thinks the Soapra looks a lot like a sileighty?

 

[A-to-the-J]

Jose's car is probably the best conversion done to date. a lot of $$$ was put into it and it came out flawlessly. if you take a quick glance, it MAY appear as a sileighty, but not really. it noticeably different. and I've had the privelage to ride in and work on it. It's not your average car.

as for the cressida front end on the supra. my crazy buddy wanted to do it (Justin :rofl: aka, Project_N00B) , but was told that the cressida front end is too long, IIRC. after seeing the soapra, i don't think any front end conversion would look right. but it's just my opinion.

needs some bomex skirts and rears to bring the back down to be on the level with the front bumper, then itd look damn cool

 

[alloyguitar]

well, he's picking up an 89 cressida for nothing because the motor's screwed and we're thinking about attempting this on one of our parts cars for the hell of it...

...if the front end is too long I can use half of a stock fender and graft the two of them together. I don't know, I'll just have to check it out.

I do, however, love the soapra concept, and I think that car is beautiful.

Like I said, I will crush my car when I am tire of it...

Jose has bomex skirts and rears on his car, thats just a really old picture.

:icon_roll people are so lazy nowadays.

 

[alloyguitar]

I bet that was a pain in the ass to do...

WHY would you want to put a Cressida front end on a Supra? The Supra front is so much more interesting... the Cressida is a very average looking car, IMO...why not do a Camry front end conversion? It would make just as much sense...

With that said...I do like the Soapra. It's very unique and distinguished...especially since the Soarer was never sold in the states.

 

[Orion ZyGarian]

Its unique and interesting, I kinda like it, though the trim doesnt flow well and I prefer the pre89 MkIII front end.

In fact, I may make this out of my next car, a 95 Supra, but with a pre89 front:

Also, here's an Accord front end

 

[ViR2]

dunno, maybe I'm the only one, but cressida's front does not flow with all the rest of the body
