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

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

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

NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW

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

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

That fine ass.

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?

>

DO IT..like you said your 2/3 the way there. some people will say they love it some will say they hate it...but atleast you have the balls to do it

Wow....the tiniest bump from anything and that's going to crack and fall apart.

i say go for it you obviously know what your doing and what your getting into the back conversion you made it seem like no prob so i know you'll do great in the front too

Really impresive work there mate .trd rear spoiler is a must for supra end

lol its not going to crack. This is just how my SS are done and how death did his, and they are both fine. people really over estimate bodywork cracking. and even if it did, all the hard stuff is done not like its going to fall off lol, just smooth it out again
But I may have found a buyer for my old front, just need to sell the lights now. Also got to buy the GT transmission/mounts/cables soon too though in prep of the swap

I'll get on the shipping cost after I get back from vacation haha

lol no rush just bought a bunch of stuff but ill prob have extra money in like a week

if u do a front conv. it will be ALOT harder then the rear... alot.

lol oh i know it would be a 1000 x's harder. I dont plan on doing anything till after I get the swap all done anyhow which will be like a year. But i do plan on doing it, i like a challenge

Wow that looks amazing!! Good job man....honestly makes the celica look more aggressive...anyway you could post up some pics from the front?

lol thanks man, deff going for more aggressive though so good to know others see it
the front is just bare lol no bumper, hood, or lights haha

very, very cool. well done.

Great job so far! I personally like the idea of the supra rear conver. I have Countless number of people ask me if my car is a supra. Plus its your car, and if you like the result of what your doing then that's all that matters. Mad props on the work though, can't wait to see it done bro!

when will you be painting your car wanna see how it looks whit the pain job

wheres your exhaust going to exit from the left side???

Kudos for doing something different, but im not a fan of the rear and your talking of doing the front too? Just buy a fncken supra.

i think if you were to put the oem rear supra bumper it would look cleaner more oem. I'd just leave the front as is.

>
supra aint cheap so why not just make an imitation

>
Skylines aren't cheap either, so why not put a Skyline body kit on my Civic? Or a Ferrari body kit on my Pontiac Fiero? The point is to not imitate other cars. I'm not putting the work down though. I wouldn't do it to my own Celica, but mgnt has more balls and more fabricating skills than I do and I respect that.

woah havent checked this in a while, or really gotten any work done. there is about an hours worth of work to finish it all up, just havent had the motivation/time.
I would like the exhaust to go out the left side, just to be a little different. Im looking for a "sideways" exit, kind of pointed up as well.
The 3sgte will be here by end of sept. which is when ill do alot more work.
As far as painting, I wont do that till the front is finished. But painting really isnt hard, only takes a day.

Also thought about the oem supra rear (as they are cheaper) but how it needs to be molded on there, it would have looks very similar because the gap is gigantic that needs to be filled. I would have needed to do something with the sides anyhow

And as for getting a supra, its not the point (+ there like 30 grand). even if i had a supra I would change it. I know it sounds kinda stupid, but i would want it to stand out. Id rather challenge myself and make it my own. Like i have the red celi that looks perfect in most peoples eyes, but its not all that impressive to me. Someone just bought some splitters and put 2 screws in it lol
