Supra Rear Conversion, Basically done Options

[SoundSlut_dotcom]

you are going to have to make a bracket , and u are prob going to have to go deeper into the hatch behind the taillight.. thats what i did... ill post pics tomorrow... i had to make caps that go over the backs of the taillights from the inside of the car... ill take pics tomorrow and show u

[mgnt232]

I am completely through the back of the hatch for most of the light. I was trying to leave a bit there if it was possible, but I may have to cut the whole back out so the light can sit back far enough. Its still only in the beginning stages
but Yeah pics would be great, anything to help me out lol. I helped my friend finish up his valve job tonight so i may get to my projects tomorrow

Ok so ive been sick yeah in the middle of summer lol and i finally got out there today, but only for a little bit and then it started to rain (i need a garage ) and i didnt want to be out there after i got sick in the rain

But I got alot done. Although it doesnt look like it, alot of fine tuning and tiny things that were off that take 10x's more time than the beginning. and actually bolting the light in, and making a makeshift mount lol. And making the hatch actually close (didnt close before)
Im not sure if anyone will notice, but i cut too much off the top. But i did it on purpose so I can fiberglass it smooth. Still a ton of work to do, but hopefully it doesnt rain tomorrow, cause I have nothing to do finally and I can spend all day on it.

Coming together slowly


Fill in the gap tomorrow and get rid of the glove lol

I'm guessing you missed out on the 3 days of beautiful sunny weather to work on her then =(

[mgnt232]

haha yeah it sucked, i didnt even really know it was nice i slept for like 5 days straight lol. hopefully ill have alot more done tomorrow

[NYp8tBaller07]

yea it should be nice the next two days; and see ya wednesday, finally get to see the red celi?

[mgnt232]

yeah hopefully, i actually gotta get it inspected tomorrow lol (inspection ended last month ) Ill grab the sideskirts tomorrow and pressure wash them, and make sure they fit in the hatch

[mgnt232]

So i didnt get much time to work on the rear today, but I did start the foam process. Keep in mind this is the first time ive ever used this stuff, and I tried to do it too small/use to little, just cause I dont really know how its going to expand and dry and everything.
Ill get some more pics tomorrow of how much it expanded and what the next step is

Start- taped it off to keep it all clean


taped a general shape, and started filling


added more


Obviously im going to sand it down, and then add fiberglass. But its getting the shape



trying to keep it to a minimum cause i dont know what im doing . but ill add more if it needs to be tomorrow.


Closed up and waiting for it to dry

Is that a big ass sub box in your trunk?
How the hell do you see behind you? lol

[mgnt232]

haha yeah i built it exactly how big its supposed to be for the subs. And strangely because of the slant in the box, I can see basically fine out the back, everything but like really low objects

[whatthe]

Loving the time spent working on the car. Great work man.

Firstly thanks everyone for the positive support
Its been like 90°+ and its going to be like that the next couple days, so im not going to get anything done. But I got some work done today from 4-6am and its already 87° out there needless to say im not going back out there lol
The foam that I did worked really good, and I found that cutting it with a hacksaw actually worked really well, and since its pretty long you can cut the general shape very easy. Hard to explain, just getting the info out there.
Then I also added the sides on. Took some time to figure it all out, and how to approach it, but i got the idea all figured out in my head now .
Lots of new pics

Removed the light and cut more






Put the light back in, and started planning more




Put the side piece on, and taped it up to foam.








Taped part of the light off again (missed some spots to foam) and foamed the sides on






Drivers side before the side piece


Screwed it on




Huge gap before


Cut and got rid of most of the gap




Ran out of painters tape, and the foam but got the drivers side started.




Distance View


Obviously I have a ton more work to do, and ill get to it in a few days, but its coming together alot easier and faster than i imagined honestly . And the second light will go in much easier since i know how big the hole must be and how much of the hatch to cut out
feedback?

Got a half hour to cut the foam before it got dark out. Not much, but sunday I can get out and bondo the small holes, and gaps. Then fiberglass over all of it







Foam got a little out of control Cause I ran out of tape before





Cut it out, and got it under control










Far view



Sunday will come alot of progress

Where is this car parked? Its not your driveway. Or is it? I noticed you do everything from your swap to this conversion here. And your other car is next to it as well. Its nice that you all that space, if it is private that is.

was thinking that as well. LOL

[mgnt232]

haha yeah it my house (well my parents house obviously as im only 19). It was an old doctors office they bought and renovated. Theres a front parking lot where everyone else parks, and then me and my brothers have the bottom parking lot. So I have alot of space, unfortunately its not covered, so its a million degrees out there whenever i try to do anything. A big part of why its going so slowly

[RabidTRD]

What are you going to do with the bottom? It's a little odd looking. Seems like it should tuck under or something.

[mgnt232]

yeah, its hitting the ... towing things? I dont actually know what they are called. But its making it like uneven. Im going to do something, im just not sure yet.
In a few hours im going to go out and be out there hopefully all day. Should get most of it done, as ive only had like 8 hours total to work on it
