My nightmare project 89 Supra

[metaphysico]

Well I am new to this forum so I figured I would post to show what I have been working on for the last 5 years.
So the long, I got it 5 years ago from by brother for $100. The motor was in the trunk, no trans, no exhaust, 5 boxes of parts, decaying interior, and was wrecked in the front and rear. I have done everything myself but the exhaust, didnt have what I needed to do it, but do now so I will remake it soon. So here are some pics.
The interior first.

And now for the engine.

This is the first thing I did to the engine just some dress-up.

Then I blew a bearing and rebuilt the engine.

After rebuild. I will leave out the pics of rebuild.

Then I had a small amout of fun polishing everything.

This is after teardown before rebuild.

Alright one of the dash and I'm done with the pics. There are more of the suspension, exhaust, sterio, and some other led projects and the such but ill post more where I get some more of my body work done.

Thanks for checking out my ride let me know what you think. And if you are good at body work and around the gainesvill area and wont charge to much let me know I hate sanding.

Poor poor poor car....should have just let it die before embarrassing it.

[Elbow]

If YOU like it cool.....

...I don't...

I actually agree. Those cars are badass when done right. In fact, I was liking it until I saw the front end. That's nasty, dude. Sorry, man. Later, QD.

harsh.....but I agree...

[WTF?]

looks like alot of work

[2rotor]

wtf...
props for effort, a lot of people wouldnt even try to do stuff themselves, they'd rather pay somebody to give them a kick ass car.
i never liked supras, but i like the fact that you are doing it all yourself, an attitude i share. nobody but myself has worked on my car since i have owned it. My dad laid the paint, he asked me if i wanted to do it, but at that time i didnt have any confidence in my clear coating abilities.
don't let anybody put you down, you are sharpening skills that will only get better.

that is one hell of an undertaking as well, wow.
props to you sir, can't wait for the thread on the finished product, then ill give you my opinion, its too early to say what it's going to look like, please... tell me you aren't painting it yellow... that has to be one of the nastiest colors on a car ever... only SOME look good (s2k, evo, maybe a few others)

[swollix]

Good effort, bad taste.

Weird...NONE of my cars have EVER EVER been to a shop other then to change tires. I even weld my own cage in.

Thats how I feel. Good luck with the car!

The body kits are a bit too much - take those off and I'd drive it.

[b16ftw]

why would you want to do that to that car? that's just awful.

[cactusEG]

Good effort, bad taste.

Wel said :goodjob:


BTW U can tell this guy is from gainesville LMAO :lmfao:

[Got Milk?]

[metaphysico]

I am open to the criticism but I do like the way its going and know where im going with it. It is going light gunmetal with flake as far as the paint. As for the rims they are probably not going to stay black that is the only color I could get but I will see how they look when the car is painted. I took it to the exhaust shop because I had to drive the car sooner than I could do it, and I didnt have a welder and I dont borrow tools. As for those of you who like stock looking cars better my wife has a 88 supra that is going to be stock body with 600hp automatic trans.
I have alot of body work to finish before it can be painted so it will look diffrent in the front once I get all of it together.

The engine is built with je pistons and crowler rods, built to turbo compression. I will be adding a turbo before paint because I have to put a clutch in it anyways, so I will paint the engine bay before reinstall. I now have a plasma cutter, pipe bender, and welder so I will redo the exhaust soon.

[LIKEG6]

Hell of a project man.

Looks like you've done a lot of work to it.

Good luck with the rest of the project!

[Alan®]

Wow poor supra

[JITB]

I like the turn signal setup thingie... i think you shoudl loose the blue stuff in the bay.. it doesnt match with anything..

[FasTech]

Good effort, bad taste.


Bout the only thing I know to say.

[green91]

Well atleast its an improvement over its previous condition!

[DC2NR]

Props for doing all that work, but just not my style. Gl with the project.

[2.3 Evo 8]

gas + match = set you free


1. DITCH all the blue Pep Boys garbage under the hood. Looks cheap and ghey.
2. DITCH the cheap ass looking gauge overlays. Looks like turd.
3. Have the seats/interior professionally redone. door skins, dash, etc...
4. Buy new carpet.

[2turbo4u]

But why?

[Apollo]

I like that body style Supra cant wait to see the finished work man keep up the good work:goodjob:

[2jzgte_mk3]

Poor poor poor car....should have just let it die before embarrassing it.

EXACTLY!!!:no: All i have to say is WOW:thinking:

[C-loS109]

[takume]

[MeanMugen]
