Just a little bit of progress. I haven't done much to this kit as I'm waiting for a set of wheels to come in (Thanks Tonio!!!).

However, I have taken a bit of time to change the front just slightly. I think it makes quite a difference in the outward apperance of the front end as opposed to stock.

I had some downtime so I started on my 80's stash of model kits starting with this older Supra. I kept the bodykit in line with the 80's look (front bumper is kit supplied while the arches and sideskirts were scratchbuilt). The arches are small which lends itself well to the Fujimi 345 line of wheels.

I've seen a few pics on the internet with these older Supras but yet of all of them, I have yet to see one with a modified rear bumper. As it is, it looks a bit high due to the sideskirts but I don't know if I want to do anything to it, if at all for that matter. What do you guys think?

Old school Supra. I like it.

I also like the grille on the S13. It looks a lot like the East Bear grille (have one on my G20).

The perfect wheels for this kit finally came in the mail today!!! (Thanks Tonio!!!

) I think they look right at home. They really complete the look of the car!

Life is getting kinda hectic right now and progress has stalled to a standstill. So there won't be much progress in a while. Tonio, if you have some free time, the Supra pictured in the above posts is yours if you want it. I certainly don't have the time to finish it and I'm more than willing to part with it for your generosity for the wheels! Let me know and they'll be on their way this weekend

Tonio doesn't want the Supra

That S13 is awesome. I love those rims. What color are you planning
on painting it? That green color the body is molded in would look hot!
