Does anyone know if the supra headlights are easily "disassembled" to add in halos or leds? Idk why anyone would know lol but worth a shot

[deathdoakill]

closest one i've seen.
there was a thead a while back.

that is very jizzy! i like celicas because their celicas but this convo is nice! i actually like the celica body lines a lot more than the supra, so this is pretty nice!

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.

Hopefully Manny will give you a swift kick in the nuts and get this silly idea out of your head.
Make the celica the best it can be, don't cross breed cars!

Hey, he isn't cross breeding. If you remember it all started as the Celica-Supra back in the day....He's just bringing it back!!

thats actually a sloppy conversion, but good attempt. The fenders don't even line up and there is too much warping.

[95CelicaST]

With all of the custom body work on that red conversion you could have purchased a real Supra...


And yeah, that white one is ROUGH.

If you're going to do a supra front end, do it right the first time and don't use a crappy duraflex kit.
It will look even worse than using a stock front end.

i say do the curren conversion so much easier and looks so much sweeter

Didnt get alot done today because of christmas, snow, and the foam takes forevvverrrrr to dry in the cold.

started by cutting the light out, which takes a bit longer than you'd think.




Got the light out and shaved away a bit more to fit the layers of fiberglass going over top









Started the other light, but its still not dry after 5 hours so it will sit over night

Ok finally got some progress done after the holidays and a lllll the snow I keep getting. Only had an hour or two a couple days this past week.
Also fiberglass/bondo takes forever to dry in freezing temps, dont attempt.
Alot of pics, and alot of progress.











Started other side

[NYp8tBaller07]

Like the progress on the car. Dont listen to everyone else bashing you. Its your taste and its a fun hobby of your to do work. I dont see everyone else doing so much custom work, it's not easy and takes time. Keep us posted and when are you heading out again?

[Neon90424]

Im gonna take a silent peep and wait till this is done before I give an opinion... everything looks like **** until its finished...except a turd probably...that would defy that saying
