Scotty's Toyota Supra MKIII

[scotty]

Hey.

First of all, I'm Scott, from Norway. And this is my 1987 Toyota Supra MKIII which I bought on the 4th of July 2009.
When I bought it there was quite a bit of rust, but that is all fixed now, and the car has just been painted. I'll let the pictures speak.

Your car looks amazing!
Where did you get the arches? and how much did they cost?

 

[scotty]

Thanks The wheel arches are actually for an Opel Calibra, I heard of several people using it, and it was just as good. Much easier to get hold of then originale ones, not to mention a lot cheaper.

 

[Icy Supra]

Nice job, what year Calibra are they from, if you don´t mind me asking ?

 

[eraezer]

those are cheap.... now I'm thinking about starting over with my arches atleast on the right side....
Icy Supra: I found those arches under 93-97

EDIT: It's the same for 90-97

Thanks, it looks like a good fit.

Think I paid about 300NOK / 50US for each of the wheel arches.

Nice body work.

Any power mods planned?

 

[scotty]

Thanks!

Only thing I've got planned is a 2.5-3" Exhaust(HKS?) and a new airfilter. Don't wanna put too much money in the engine it's got now. If anything, then I'll save up for a 7M-GTE or a 2JZ-GTE and get it proper set up and tuned from a firm/company.

I would suggest that you go with a home made exhaust since that is cheeper and you have more than enough welding knowledge to do so. And I don't see any good reason to buy an exhaust for several houndreds of US dollars. Maybe you could look at pics of those and get an idea on how they are routed, what bens are used and so on.

Where in Norway do you live? My girlfriends grand parents have a house in Skånevik and I plan to go there next summer.
