why exactly are you taking the whole car apart?

it just means there is more misplaced bolts, and more work to do.

lol alot of the pictuers are gone matt wink.gif

for the supra headlights......take that idea throw it in the trash, don't waste the time or money on it...but if you must insist you have to cut the hood and fabricate a new front 1/2 o f the hood basically you should be able to take your car and a set of headlights and say..."make this work" if you have to tell them anything...they arn't good enough

jeff i will defenitly hit you up when it comes to motor time you are the RC KING!

manny i'm using brushable and/or spray able paint stripper that you find at home depot from kleen strip i believe

no it won't rust because i'm spraying primer on the sections that i have stripped and sanded

no you can't trim CF and you have to remember the hoos has bumps in it for the headlight curve so you have to take them out if your seriously interested in the supra headlight swap let me know i'll sell you mine.. obviously i don't need them any more wink.gif


oh and jen i make money by working ALL the time at my kick ass desk job for my university smile.gif
