Default Last Supra Shoot before Winter

Had to take some pics for the body shop so they can prepare to paint my car this winter, So i figured id do a small shoot before the car goes away for snowtime.

This should be the last time the Supra sees daylight until its new paint and spring time!

You have to take care your supra. It's a lot of money now.
I have RX-7 Twin turbo and I can sell it more than I paid for.
These two cars appreciates vs other Japanese cars.

which is the reason im investing the money in restoring this car to prime condition. One of the few "japanese super cars" of the 90's. RX7,Supra,NSX, and some may argue the 300zx TT fits in this catagory too.

I don't think the 300zx TT is appreciating.
Not like the Supra and the RX-7 3rd generation.
The supra engine, I can best equate to the Nissan skyline R32-R33.

You need a new paint job.

I Love Espirits, that one yours?

I came sooo close to pulling the trigger on an elise.

And my supra will be fully repainted by spring, either the factory red, a ferrari-esque red color, or Imperial Jade Pearl, which is a dark metallic green supra color.

Mongo, I will try to find some pictures. I'm in the process of pulling the engine out and making it single turbo instead of the twin turbo (RX-7).

The car that I missed a lot was my 1989 MR2 supercharged. This little thing is nible car and easy to maintain. Not as powerful as some Japanese car but I like the handling. I tried to buy it back but the owner screwed up the body & engine.

Those are OEM TT wheels, with the optional chrome. The paint is origional as it sits, although a few panels have already been resprayed for whatever reason. There are deep scratches, cracking paint on bumpers, lots of rock chips, and the resprayed panels dont match perfectly. If you saw the car in person you would agree that this paint is not salvageable.
