Default my little build thread :)





this is my first thread even though i been here for some time... so please bare with me
i don't crap money like couple of people in here and im sure there's a few like me also
i try to get top notch parts but i don't always can
the accident was on January, all this upgrades has been happening since then

all comments are welcome ...

my baby its a 95 5 speed jzz31

after having it for 3 years i got into an accident



so i figured its time to put some money on it,
i changed all of the broken parts my self so the body shop would only work on the body and it came out cheaper lol

for some reason i had the 92 bumper even though my car is a 95
after 2 weeks searching i found a 2000 front bumper.

i purchased the teins street advance because i want that flush look and cant afford the flex.



mind as well i up graded the front bushings



got bbs replicas



they are 19x9 front
19x9.5 rear

i found out the hard way how expensive new tires are for 19s are

took the car to the body shop after installing everything, i was gonna paint the car that supra red but the guy at the shop had extra paint from a 09 bmw m3 and i felt in love. Melbourne red is the color.

AND THIS IS HOW MY BEAST LOOKS NOW







yes the car is efin high lol but i need to brake in this teins.
i told the guy at the body shop to delete the antenna.

my next buy right now im waiting on spacers and also a new set of ls400 front calipers.

theres a huge snap in the rear... i think i messed up the diff but i am definitely checking that out as soon as i receive my new calipers,

well so far this is what i have done to it to this date. i hope i hear positive feed back from you guys

i apologize in advance for the fat *** pictures.

Better late then never, thats some nice body work. Unless your going full 97+ i would put a 92-96 front on. 92-96 fronts looks better anyways

i totally agree, i was determined to put the 95 front bumper but i couldn't find one at all.
since i got the 97 bumper i am gonna do the full kit in the near future

that's what I got charged... other body shops charge me about 3500 and they didn't want me to change the parts my self... why, because they make money out of the parts. but this guy helped me out and let me change everything that it was broken by my self. he even painted inside the doors and trunk and that wasn't included in the price.

because of the accident now I know my car from top to bottom
