Lilmiss: Nothing's going to happen with the paint...at least not right now...LOL. I think it looks fine, and I'm happy with it, but to a professional's eyes, it probably looks pretty bad...LOL! So I'm just going to keep maintaining it like I have been until I'm ready to repaint.

Kyle: I just brought it to one of their "Open Garage's" that they have every thursday for their online forum members (I know, I'm a nerd...LOL) and watched them makeover a Toyota pickup truck, then asked them what they could do to make my car look better... They basically tried like 4 or 5 different compounds, etc...and none of them really did anything...

Apparently, my paint is so thin, that if I tried to polish it and make it perfect, there would be no paint left...not to mention the lack of clear coat...LOL.

Those people sure liked my 7M! :naughty:

I had a bra on my 1983 supra, but only because I rear ended someone and it hid all the damage. The front of your car looks way sexier than any bra. I also loved the picture of the Killer whale. They're one of my favorite animals and I guess supras are big and bulky like the orca, but they're also close to the top of the food chain like the supra.

You have to try different junkyards...you never know what they have until you go and check it out.

Go to www.ecoparts.com and look at their locations. It says they keep inventory, but they aren't always accurate...Like one time they said they didn't have any Supras when I called, but I went anyway, and they had TWO MK3's...so yea. :)

Also, the Supra will be receiving parts very soon, including a 57trim CT26! :D

The Mercedes is doing quite well also, it is progressing nicely, and I should really post up pics of it.

Just a little update :).

So hot!

John, put the CT26 on the Mercedes, I'm planning on strapping a new blower on my honda swap!

HAHAHAA...the Mercedes already has a bigger T3 turbo!! Came stock on the 3.0L I5's.

And Dawly, technically the car is my mom's...even though I drive it more than she does!! :biglaugh:
