Supra Rear Conversion, Basically done Options

[SoundSlut_dotcom]

Only thing i dont like is the bottom part of the bumper where there are spots for the tow hooks. I would remove that section completely it making the ass way too big in comparison to the rest of the celica.

Besides that, its looking smashing.

i agree.. remove that whole section and ur good!.

[SoundSlut_dotcom]

i think if you took out that bottom portion completely.. (tow hook area and sides) and maybe add a set of splitters... (kinda like the pic of the silver supra someone posted earlier) would look really nice... just my opinion.. i still think it looks great and ur doing a great job... as far as the 3rd brake light.. id just remove it completely. im a big fan of shaved stuff, i shaved everything...all washer nozzles antenna fender reflectors brake light rear wiper.. but like i said just my opinion LOOKING GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^ Truth

+ consider getting rid of the cut out for where the supra exhaust goes and make it on the rhs since thats where the celica exhaust goes. On the topic of exhaust, it needs a massive burnt tip exhaust that makes alot of noise. And also needs a big wing, serious.

thanks everyone, I got some work done yesterday too. No pics cause it was all very little tedious stuff so it looks the same from a distance.
Im gonna leave the tow hooks area alone until the rest is done, then ill play around with it. Just like getting one thing done at a time.
I already shaved that freakishly ugly rear wiper last time I painted, and Im deff going to shave the antenna, as I havent listened to the radio in like a year since i got an ipod and now a droid. In the very long run i want to look into door poppers, but that wont be for a long time

And the exhaust will be exactly as you described But im still debating keeping the drivers side exit, or dual exhuast And i plan on getting a trd wing.

[jordisonjr]

I would definately not go dual exhaust.
Just my opinion though.

Good work man, lots of blood and sweat your putting out. Much respect'

[delusionz]

I don't dig it, why don't you just reshape the license plate garnish and mould in the gap for supra tails ....

i dont hate it, since im not the one that has to be seen in it, but damn.... i wouldnt be caught dead in that lol

[opie_7afe]

what are you gonna do about the portion behind tail lights? and what about the hatch to make it look nice smooth and look like it was never cut?

as far as molding the lights into my old bumper, I think it would look terrible, and if im already doing the work why not just get an actual supra bumper, if thats the look im going for? And its been done alot more than molding a whole new rear on.
I havent really thought of what im going to do behind the lights, cause i have the plastic part that goes behind the whole rear, and the gigantic speaker box that makes it virtually unseeable.
The actual hatch Ive been giving some thought to though, and i could use some advice i guess.
Im pretty sure i can get it pretty damn smooth with the grinder. Then maybe just lay some resin or glazing putty over it to smooth it out all the way. But then again that may not work at all lol, i dont know what im doing its just trial and error.
Hopefully after work i can get something done, but its not looking that way

Got some progress done yesterday, and just sanded it baby bottom smooth
Drivers side around the light (hardest part to get 100% smooth cause of its shape) is basically done

congrats dude now add some paint add them tail lights and call it a day to a job well done

[jordisonjr]

When it rains, isn't the water going to drain right into your trunk?

[mgnt232]

no the water kind of drains between the trunk and the bumper, its rained quite a few times and its never gotten wet inside, even with the light not in, leaving a huge hole. but After everythings done, ido plan on looking into it a bit more. maybe making a sort of draining system for it

Got up sold my old bumper to a guy, and had alllllll day to work on the supra rear. And its now basically finished. I need to finish the bumper to wheel well, which I needed to take the wheels off for and put it off till everything else was done. Also a little tiny bit more shaping on the bottom corner pieces. And the actual hatch which wont take long at all.


All the pics basically look the same, just different angles of it almost done. Obviously there are things that need improvement, but its definitely getting close
And yes there is about an inch of bondo dust around the car lol
Thanks to everyone who supported, even if it wasnt ur taste

Shots of using the glazing putty







Found this awesome filler primer too. i already had it like 99.9% smooth, but it filled in tiny little holes of dips. Only bought a can of it, so its not completely consistent. Ill end up painting the whole car at once too, so its going to look like this for a while.
















Wheel well still need to be finished like I said, but i got too excited and just painted it lol

dam dude i take my hat of to you props i know this was your first time doing this but dam you got the magic touch when it comes to body work

[enderswift]

im impressed. Even though I think body kits and stuff are kinda silly, I have to hand it to you and say that you are really good at this. Good work

[whatthe]

That fine ass.

[mgnt232]

Thanks everyone
I prob wont get to finish it anytime soon, as ive been neglecting other things to get it done which is catching up lol. But itll get done. And If i find buyers for my old front, lights, and hood I may do the front conversion. But im a little more hesitant, as I still need to get the 3s in first
I know alot of people think just one supra conversion is too much, but im already 2/3 there. Why not go all out? granted this will be the hardest, most time consuming, most expensive part.
Anyone think I should?
