    Body Repair questions....Rocker Panel Cover Fix? Compression dent repair thoughts?

    The dent in the rocker should be an easy fix, they will probably be able to pop it out and spend an hour or so with the contour tool to straighten it. As for the bumper cover, see if you can source a new one or try to find a used one that's been kept. Noticed that the small spot of rust on my...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I don't have a problem donating a 6"x2" spot on either back window for advertising, I wouldnt want insurance to cover any more than what i payed to have the car painted. Called my insurance guy after work and he said as long as they aren't paying me to race its just a decal. It will see the...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    It's not a corporate sponsor, I'd simply be putting his decals on the small rear windows of the car. Gladly send anyone his way if he does as good of a job as I have seen him do before.

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I talked to my paint guy, he's willing to do my car as a sponsor job. He'll put on my fiberglass trim, 2 pc 89+ wing, 92 nose, bomex skirts and lip, swap out all my markers and fogs with the clear i have, take everything down to metal, straighten a few dents and paint her Spectra Blue Mica Pearl...

    How much have you spent on your MkIII

    Or you could simply go back in the thread and look if it bothers you that much. Or is the 3 calories you burn clicking the mouse not in your daily workout schedule? :P

    wanting to give up

    I'm back in the supra game after a long time, bought an 87 n/a and have a 43 page restoration budget planned over 2 years. It's in good running condition now, but a full restoration is a daunting task. I can't give up, I've been waiting for 10+ years to get back in the game and I finally took...

    Best Source for Subframe Bushings?

    Again here I see opportunity, I have a great machinest in the family and he has his own lathe, being that I was in the plastics industry for years I'll look into replicating the subframe bushings in a hdpe (high density poly) or a uhmwpe (ultra high molecular weight poly) Come spring i'll pick...

It may be around...

    Rear quarters

    actually cutting them out and brazing new metal in isn't that bad, around the wheel wells its a little tougher to replicate the contours but all in all find a good body shop and ask for a price
