NEWEST PROGRESS- Always my posts that say "NEW NEW NEW"
Ok so I bought the supra lights 2 weeks ago, and ordered the supra rear bumper last week, and its coming from manhattan (only a 3 hour drive from me) so I should have it very soon. Im going to take a ton of pics, and sort of step by step it, since no one really has. Essentially doing the same thing 0re0 did, with some of my own twists. Also as I suspect the bumper is going to take alot longer than it should, because people never just ship things out. Always wait a week  Im going to try some other things in the mean time.Thats why i need some pics of the gt4 grill modded into a non gt4 bumper, like my invader. I know the pics are out there, ive seen them before, but after a half hour of looking and not finding I figured maybe someone would remember the member name? hopefully. Also making some fender vents, not sure of the style just yet, but it just seems pretty easy. If anyone has pics of some custom fender vents Id love to see them. Maybe get some new ideas. Thanks for any help, and ill post as soon as I get the bumper in This post has been edited by mgnt232: Aug 5, 2011 - 4:49 PM -------------------- I've spilt my heart into this car :) And I don't ever plan to stop  - 6GC for Life - >Semper Fi< 1994 Cupra :p 3sgte 1995 Celica ST DD 1969 Chevelle SS alllll balls.

QUOTE (mgnt232 @ Jul 24, 2011 - 9:20 PM)  haha no way. The chevelle is running fine now, just need to find time to paint it... and money for the paint lol. Hopefully it will be on the road next summer, cant wait to see how much higher my ridiculous insurance is with another car lol I pay next to nothing for my 70' vette since I don't drive it often. I got a big discount since I drive it less than 3k a year. With the celica and the vette (I'm 23, clean record) its only 600 a year. A second car usually won't add too much to a policy since they already have you insured. I've heard good things about insuring a classic with Hagerty's, but I haven't looked into it since I get such a good deal with being in the military and using USAA. I hope it doesn't run you too much to add the car to your policy. Keep up the good work, I'm interested to see how all this comes out! |
