Cool OHMUGOD!!!!

That look soooooo clean!! VERY original! I love it. People will never know what hit them.

One thing tho, dude. On these posts, make sure you block out your license plate somehow. Wouldn't want anything bad to befall an awesome project like this!!!

Congrats!!!

Where do you get your plates personalized? :eek:

Clean conversion, although I'm not sure that's where I'd put my energy with a hard-top Supra. Is that a rear-view video monitor?? Nice touch....

Default looks good!

Come on guys, it's an NA and it's very original.

I think it's great, SupraSC is a stand up guy too. I guess if it was a TT I would be a little upset(probably more jealopus than upset ).

Just one thing bro....THE COLOR!!!!!!


should have left it red, I've never seen a rennaiance red look that good.....

It was also a hard top.... very rare Supra. NA/TT, that's all a matter of a $6000 engine swap. The hard top you should have saved, excellent platform for 1000hp drag Supras.

Default well actually....

Hardtop NA's aren't too rare because nobody really wants an NA. And it's going to cost you more than 6k to be a TT, fuel lines, suepension and various other things, plus a full 2jz-gte and transmission will cost you 6k alone....then labor.....

The only thing I have against it is the color scheme!!!!!

What;s up with the blue?!

Should have left it red, red cars are faster I swear!


Oh, and at least he didn't convert it into that benz/supra


*shivers*

It doesn't look too bad there...but the side view makes it look like a Camaro Convertable...

That Yellow Supra...yeah, nice offsets! Guess he couldn't afford new wheels after he spent all his money on the widebody kit...he could have at least bought some spacers...
