    wheel well coating

    wheel well coating

    I am trying to kill the rust on my supra and keep it from returning for as long as possible. The good news is none of the major rusty areas are visible. I have seen way rustier supras, this is the worst area of my car. It is also the only rusty area of my car. Just so happens to be the same...

    removing b-pillar trim

    cant find anything about removing the b-pillar trim. Im prepping my car for some bodywork and paint and have the body trim off, started removing the window trim.

    Supra monster truck

    it is fake. look at the shadow under the car, looks like a straight axle front diff shadow. they parked the truck there, then were smart enough to figure out to park the supra just a little bit further away for the second shot, so when the images are put together the tires will be in the right...
