Keep going and keep posting your progress, i wanna see how it turns out!

thanks guys. i forgot to mention....for paint it's getting a shot of super white 2 with a teaspoon of pearl and for rims I am painting the stock rims duplicolor gunmetal and leaving the beauty rings chrome until I can buy some rims since I'm 17. When I get the money for aftermarket rims I am going to get some gunmetal 17's not sure on the brand though. For some suspension it is getting eibach springs in the rear and ground control coilovers in the front and tokico struts all around.

Stay away from 17's, Go with Celica Supra Wheels. 17's are out of character for that celica.

don't keep the sleepy eyes, they look broken... I don't know about the 4 way split, 14" supra wheels,(it will look stock and un noticed) but if you can get your hands on them Do it... for wheels, i'd go 14"-15" ols school Riiken mesh style mags... similar to the factory BBS rims that came on the 80's Jetta GTX... mmmmm yummy.. Nice work, keep it up, Actually just yesterday i was wondering why nobody does up supra-celica's? Just giver

well i decided to buy this car for potential because it was better than the car i sold to buy it.....1988 bonneville putting weld draglites against the side(my brothers off his 5.0) it looked pretty good but I'm not sure yet.

sweet dude, I wanna shave my trim too! how easy was it?

[buzzbomber85gt]

it's pretty easy. just weld some metal into the trim holes and grind it down flat and then bondo it flush with the body and paint. I did the markers too and shaved the antenna.
