before




after

ok so after work i went to the paint store and bought some primer/sealer to prevent rust and painted the items i sandblasted





oh yeaahhhhh just like new

this is how the car sits as of now

i decided to take this build slower so i lowered the front cut springs (working on the rear blocks) and installed kyb shocks all around



i found rear shocks werent even attached lol

i "rolled" the font fenders lol



heres how the front looks i need to take rubber bump stops off their touching



i have all four supras 2 just need tires

this is kind of how i want the inside to look

Very Nice.

Just bought some exel-g shocks.

Hows the ride with the cut springs?

Actually the ride isn't that bad .... where did u get ur shocks at and price ... I bought mine on parts geek.com were 23 plus shipping

I ordered mine from Baxterautoparts pick up next day for $32. They only have the fronts though. So I'm thinking of doing the KYB ajustable gas shocks, which I believe are around $44.

Yea, I was having a hard time sourcing some stuff, and that parts geek came through. How long did your shocks take to get in?
