Snapped a quick pic... Sitting in the yard while his parking spot was being graded for new pea gravel in his new space... He was rewarded for his patience...lol

Custom decals made by a friend in NY that makes reproduction decals for vehicles as a hobby. He wanted to do something "Original but not original" for a Supra, I decided to be a guinea pig...

great job on the car so far, looks gorgeous! Did you end up getting different springs for the front?

Thanks a ton !!!
I did switch back to the H&R's after the DropZone flop.
Got an idea from a friend that works at an Audi dealership. On the Quattro cars, the have a strut tower "stiffener" that runs on the underside between the upper strut bushing and bottom of the body mount. We fabbed up a pair with the same dimensions to bolt up to the Supra bolt openings, and it gave me about 1/4" raise in the front... Took care of the rubbing and the rake all at the same time !!!

Headin back from work the other day, I heard a big CRACK while driving down the road. I looked around to see what was up, I saw nothing. I took a quick look out my driver mirror, and saw this..... UGH....

Big nasty ding right under the window molding on my door... I was pissed, as you might think...

Back in the days when I was in the auto glass biz, we called on a company called Same Day Scratch & Dent to fix some bo-bo's We'd have when knives broke and stuff. Sure enough, the guy who was doing this for us 10+ years ago was still doing it !!!
A couple hours and a couple hundred bucks later, this is what it looked like...

You really have to look hard to see it, Cameron did a fantastic job !!! He also fixed a couple other small dings I had for no charge !!! I talked to my Insurance Company and they are going to kick back a little of the repair charge to me. To them it's like getting a rock chip repair on your windshield, up to a certain amount they cover...

Hi Gary !!!
Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk more. I had to wear the "Pumpkin" Staff shirt, so I was a little pre-occupied with stuff. Love to talk again soon !!! You, sir, have a sweet ride !!!

One of the few times it's cool to work in a wrecking yard..... Out of a 91 Prelude....

p1764775_1.jpg


Yup, Autopals... DOT ones also !!! Many of the ones on eBay are Euro spec, even though they do have the LHD ones, but no DOT stamp on them. Best of all... FREE !!!!

I filled them in with these, well, not these, same company and style, just H4's. These are for the Xtreme... I'll add a HID kit later I spose...

And just for the Tri-fecta, the Missus brought out Xemu early for Halloween and set him up... I love this guy.... :hehe
