Could someone explain this widebody thing I keep hearing about?

Also, my car has two different style mirrors on it. I was unaware the MKIII had different styles.

BTW, the latest news from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Vehicle Dump. Here's a pic of the new organ donor. This has a much better engine. I might try my hand at replacing the HG "just because" when my house is finished and I have a garage.

The two diff. styles of mirrors are 89+ and -89. Only widebodys came to the US.

Then I've got one of each. That's another issue I'll need to correct.

My current plans are to keep it original. I know that sounds boring but I bought the car for cruising, not to win any races. I like a smooth running/riding Supra. I'm going to have the front lip repainted and buff the rest of it, make the rearview mirrors match, fix the roadwalking problem. Just a bunch of little shit ya know. I actually bought the car in Garland. I don't know that area very well but which shop are you talking about?

I'm at work tonight but will hit you up on AIM when I'm at home.

To me the Supra is perfect enough stock. It's got class and style. People stare as I pass or as they pass. It's lines are awesome, it's heavy, it's sexy...I think I'm about to cum, excuse me.

All mk3 supras are widebodies - all that are in the US that is.

Toyota actually made a narrow body mk3, but its fugly as all get out, and Im not even sure if they called it a supra.

Anybody got pics of a narrow body?

narrow body supras are usually 2 litre engined cars. i "think" they are the cars with chassis codes starting ga70. mostly there widebody cars though. And yes they look strange when there compared side by side to a widebody supra
