I do my own work, with the assist from my dad. Heres mine when I bought it back in 12/08








Here is a test fit of the new panels



Here is whats left of my donor car. This is a 92 SC400 that I bought for the motor (I was going to do a swap into my 89 Supra)



Here is the car with the basic fitment done and metal stripped bare for primer.





...and the primer applied, this is where I am at today. I could not finish it last year due to some other issues, but i'm back on it.



Engine and trans are also out. Engine is getting rebuilt (also by me). I am hoping to get the car done by the end of summer. Its going to be black metallic, chrome emblems, and MKIV turbo wheels.

I do all my own work, but this hesitation problem on my brothers 93 ls400 is killing me so i may have to visit the stealership if i can't dial it in.

I like to do all the work I can, for things such as welding and piping work I have to defer to some shops
