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.

Ok so I added a third, and hopefully final layer of fiberglass. Its pretty much rock solid, but I may add a final coat at the end for good measure. After the third layer of glass, i bondoed over everything as there were small divets and uneven parts, and its finally really smooth. Still needs a layer or two over that, and the glazing layers. Just to get it 100% smooth, with no imperfections. I fixed the drivers light, or at least tried to. It looks fine to the eye now. Only big thing left to do is the bottoms of the sides that I added, as its really hard to get a good shape upside down, cause gravity has its way with fiberglass and bondo. If anyone has any suggestions id like to hear them, if you get what im trying to do. Anyway a few pics. Just Before sanding bondo and after Before     After           -------------------- 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 30, 2011 - 6:41 AM)  I look at this picture and think... "why?" The standard rear looks so good!  But even though the Supra rear is not my cup of tea, I must give you respect for having a crack at this and making it work. I'm sure it will look great once it's finished and painted. Well done. -------------------- |
