NEW PICS in posts with dates (20121225)

OK finally got home to do this. Only was out there for a couple hours, most of which was mounting the intercooler.
But got alot done surprisingly.
Alot more to go but while waiting on the rest of the 3s parts im going to finish this off.

And for the love of god I know what I'm doing, it will end up fine.



Got the bumper realized supras fronts are like a foot wider than celicas kindasad.gif







...... so i cut it in half tongue.gif



And just started to fit it and grind away at what was in the way






After a bit of test fitting, started to fill the huge gaps.







Got dark like 20 mins after this picture so i had to stop. Should have them both ready for fiberglass by tomorrow, as long as it doesnt snow!

Yea there was a dude who did here a coulpe months ago (maybe 6?) and it looked like a complete hack job IMO.
If you're going to spend the money/time converting your FWD to look like a supra, you may as well spend the money a buy an NA Supra because at the end of the day, even though its NA, and maybe even automatic, it will still be faster than your celica, AND its RWD.

Not worth the time and effort to make one car look like another, if its not going to have equivalant performance.

I agree with Jordison. Here are the steps to success:

1.Sell orange "suplica" or the red car
2. Sell w.e. domestic you have
3. Buy a NA supra
4.???
5. Profit


The celicas lines are nice but the supras are sexual. The celica is just a cheaper version of the mk4 in every way possible(Besides the glass headlights laugh.gif )

Idk about the front compared to a stock 6gc ... but I've always thought the rear of the MKIV Supra was sexy as ****! But then again, I'm an ass man. I like how the back end came out a lot! But I'd stick with the Celica front imho.

Lol ok im not buying a supra. The whole point of it is not so I like fool people into thinking I have a supra lol. I want to do it just because its unique (yes I know others have done it)its the same reason I like refuse to do the gt4 look, everyone does it.
And its not about the money, like I can buy an na supraor pay someone to do it. But again anyone can just buy an n/a supra and be like oh look at that... Ive done nothing to the car lol
also I like doing the body work, its a fun hobby for me and ive molded kits for a few friends and am looking for the new challenge.
And I already bought a 3s, coverted harness, all the mounts, trans ect. Everything for the swap its just the time factor. Hopefully I can arrange to get the car and engine to manny while im gone and all that will be.done before I come back.
And started the thread now to get ideas (how diff bumpers look, lights, ect) on how it will look and see what others have.done so I can start chosing my parts soon rather than buy everything a wk before I come home lol and not be prepared.
Anyother pics are much appreciated

Thats probably the nicest conversion i've seen, and it still looks like **** lol.
The rear end is just too big and does not flow with celica lines at all.
Tail lights are also too low down the rear compared to the supra.

from my opinion ,
i dont like how the front and rear came out, look too big ,
i dont like this conversion because the supra is a really beautiful car, and celica as well, but they cannot be mixte well together, at least you can try the current front conversion, or transform some front aftermarket bumper to make look special

its an alright conversion but the rear tails seem to be a bit low, needs to be picked up a bit.

I say go for it, just remember the golden rule for custom body work.

It takes 2 hours to cut everything, two days to weld it all back together, and 2 years of body work to make it look right.

Thanks for some of the pics. I do agree the rear lights are too low, mine are higher and looks a bit better. Gah I cant wait to do the front I think it looks good. but wont be for a while. I will post up some pics of what im gonna buy within a month or so smile.gif
And yes I know the golden rule lol I will always mess with it, its never food wnough haha

Hopefully Manny will give you a swift kick in the nuts and get this silly idea out of your head.
