Fresh out of the paint booth Updated! 10Feb2008

[reklund5]

I just got my car back from the body shop, where I had a little "freshening" done to it. I had the header panel and front bumper painted, as well as both sides from the belt moulding down to the bottom. The rear bumper and 1/4 panels, as well as upper doors and b-pillars and roof were painted last spring. The only original paint on the car now is the rear hatch below the spoiler and the hood/headlamps and the front fenders above the moulding.

I just got this new MacBook for Christmas, so lets see if I can figure out how to resize and post pics...

It was a "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" sort of deal...:naughty:

The painter and I swapped services- I work as a Toyota Master Tech, so I overhauled the engine in his old 3.0 4Runner and he painted the car...

very very nice.

Freaking gorgeous!!!!!!!! That's what I want my white 86.5 to look like. I think your car will be my new desktop wallpaper here at work. Let's see some of the interior.

 

[reklund5]

Let me work on some interior shots. It's burgandy leather, in mostly MINT condition. A little wear on the steering wheel and drivers seat outer bolster is all. The car has been garaged almost all of it's life, and only has like 120k Miles on it...

That front lip is brand new, as are the b-pillar vents and the raingutter trim. I tried like hell to find new side mouldings for the door, but they're long discontinued. I *might* look into buying some 91-92 moulding and taillights, but even at my cost it's rediculously expensive...

Thanks for all the positive comments!

Howtness! The head-on picture is awesome, makes the car look so tough. Is this pure white or pearl white? Great looking car.

Nice look.
Love the front.

 

[reklund5]

Its factory Pearl White. I was toying with leaving the lower grille out and trimming the tabs off of the bumper cover, but decided to keep the "stock" sleeper look. Most folks don't look twice at my car, since it looks mostly stock. The wheels are the only obvious change. I picked the HKS Sport exhaust specifically because it looks like stock twin-tip setup and is quiet. It's fun to run with a new 'Vette or Mustang and surprise them with my stock-looking old Supra...

Check your thread...

I should have just painted the whole thing, but I only had favors that covered bits and pieces at a time. It's close now though. I may try to have the headlamp covers painted, they're showing a chip or two in their old age.
