The car will remain White, and will lose the pre-89 look soon. Thanks for the comments, the owner of this car stops by this section from time to time.

Many new things are going to be added to the body of the car. I will say this, this Supra is my first ground up restoration project. We will be upgrading the Diff to a two way Kazz diff, new drive shaft. The AEM will be running the 550's from the MK4 and we are going to pull every single pony out of the stock twins. Any one can do stock swaps now and days, but we strive to be different in what we do.

Sounds like a fun project. Your garage sure has a lot more room than mine!
I have barely enough for 2 cars let alone all my junk.

Good luck with all your projects!

pictures don't do this car justice. it's super clean and makes my white supra look grey.

wow I really like... Nice to see MK3 owners treat their cars nicely, instead of disposing of them.

how much is the body work costing you? I plan on doing some bodywork to mines and trying to get an idea of how much to save.

Honestly the price will change allot. My customer is in to the body work over $4K right now, and rising!
