nothing wrong with the colour i like what i see keep at it and yea its different lol

Haha, thanks. I like it too. Here's my progress today:

 

 

The rear. My god, what the previous owner had in mind, I'm yet to figure out. The whole rear quarter was body filler, and under it, was straight, rust free metal! I got all of that off, and have got it primed, waiting for the grabber green.

 

Before:

 

 

 

Half way there:

 

 

Relief! I also painted the rear door on that side today:

 

 

Along with both front fenders:

 

 

God, she looks beast, only half way through.

 

Nice work man, keep up the hard work. The green looks pretty mean!

I have been battling this thing for the past week all day, every day. Wake up when thhe suns rising, go to sleep when I can't see. Here is the rest of the photos I have to share. :hmm:

 

 

And heeeere she is!

 

 

And before work:

 

 

I'm glad I bought this thing. :blush:

Well done mate, she's come a long way in the short time you've owned it!! :hmm:

its looking great dude, you have done an awesome job in such a short time. What are the engine plans?

Well, I have a 7m here that I removed from a wrecked '87 Supra that I could stick in it, or one of my 5m's. I have also thought of how nice a 1uzfe would be.. Whatever I do, it'll be as different as the paint color. :hmm:

7m!!!

So you're a fan of changing head gaskets then!? :rolls:

looks awsome the colour i like :rolls:

I have changed a lot of them in my Supra years. The only reason M series engine head gaskets blow so easy is because of low factory torque specs. Every time I get a 5/6/7m, I remove the head, have it plained slightly, throw on a new head gasket, fasten it all together with arp head studs, torque to 92 ft/lbs, and never worry about them. Works great.
