Looks better than a lot of other conversions out there, good job. Can't wait to see the smooth final product.

Actually looking pretty good.. looks like the front bumper needs some work where the headlights used to be (still goes up) but you're getting rid of that front anyway.
BTW, Just call it the Celica Supra Mk II |

Id just like to see it how its going to be, sence your going to trash what you have done.
Also what you going to do about the hood? the lines and such for the lights? |

Very envious of your fiberglassing abilities player. I hate working with the stuff, and only do so when I have to...You did a damn fine job modifying that bumper and that sureee takes a lot of patience, time, and determination.
Good work. -------------------- Armed? Armed with what?
Oh I dunno, colorful language, bad breath, a feather duster...Whatta you think theyre armed with guns you tit! |
