Supra8903's Build Up

[supra8903]

UPDATE PHOTOSHOOT POST # 19 !!!



Ok.... Finaly i'll start a thread....


I purchased this car in the fall of 2002, after it was sitting for a long 5 years. The car was is such bad shape that a total overhaul was the only solution. Thanks to Northway Toyota and my father, the car was stripped to bare metal and completely restored to factory condition. This didn't last long once I acknowledged the potential of this awesome vehicle. This is where it all began in the spring of 2003, I promised that I would make my Ma70 Supra the best old-body on the East coast.


** I just would like to say that nothing on this car would have been possible without this forum...... So please ask questions, give coments, and feeedback.




***** P.S. ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING DONE******

Here is the car as it statred off 2007:

The big changes form '06 were the colormaching of the Advans:

After selling by Corbeau Forza seats to shaeff, I opted for FX1 (fiberglass buckets).... they were not so comfterable, so they were soon swaped for TRS Microsued seats.

In addition this spring I colormatched my nitrous bottles, as well as made a fiberglass boxfor my subs.

I also ditched the HKS exhaust and went with a RSR GtII


Here are some pics from April, and May:

Went with a PWR radiator as well as some Corbeau TRS in Microsued with 3" racing belts

[supra8903]

Ok.... ill do some " where i have came from"

this pic is from the spring of 2005.... I was thrilled with the install of my Bomex 3-hole front lip, and my Motegi Mr7s:

Later i that summer I decied to add the Bomex sides and Do-luck style rears.... At this point I hav the Advans on order:

These are a pic of the Advans when they first got here (they came of a skyline):

And here they are installed on my car in the spring of 2006:

 

[supra8903]

As you can see the advans were pretty beat up, so they were sent out to be refinished.....

They are much better now.....


and for thoes that criticise the stickers.... here is what Meguairs sent me for my sponsorship:

hell ya... gotta love free stuff.

 

[NgoFcukinWay]

looks good, but why the one arm wiper blade?

 

[supra8903]

a few reasons....

first this never see rain, also it looks cleener. I also used a small blade so it doen not rub the banner

 

[Supraboostin]

looks real nice i just dont like the rims

 

[supra8903]

Ok... Like I was saying I had a professional photoshoot a few weeks ago.
