NEW PICS in posts with dates (20121225)

OK finally got home to do this. Only was out there for a couple hours, most of which was mounting the intercooler.
But got alot done surprisingly.
Alot more to go but while waiting on the rest of the 3s parts im going to finish this off.

And for the love of god I know what I'm doing, it will end up fine.



Got the bumper realized supras fronts are like a foot wider than celicas







...... so i cut it in half



And just started to fit it and grind away at what was in the way






After a bit of test fitting, started to fill the huge gaps.







Got dark like 20 mins after this picture so i had to stop. Should have them both ready for fiberglass by tomorrow, as long as it doesnt snow!

Lol ok im not buying a supra. The whole point of it is not so I like fool people into thinking I have a supra lol. I want to do it just because its unique (yes I know others have done it)its the same reason I like refuse to do the gt4 look, everyone does it.
And its not about the money, like I can buy an na supraor pay someone to do it. But again anyone can just buy an n/a supra and be like oh look at that... Ive done nothing to the car lol
also I like doing the body work, its a fun hobby for me and ive molded kits for a few friends and am looking for the new challenge.
And I already bought a 3s, coverted harness, all the mounts, trans ect. Everything for the swap its just the time factor. Hopefully I can arrange to get the car and engine to manny while im gone and all that will be.done before I come back.
And started the thread now to get ideas (how diff bumpers look, lights, ect) on how it will look and see what others have.done so I can start chosing my parts soon rather than buy everything a wk before I come home lol and not be prepared.
Anyother pics are much appreciated
