NEW PICS in posts with dates (20121225) OK finally got home to do this. Only was out there for a couple hours, most of which was mounting the intercooler. But got alot done surprisingly. Alot more to go but while waiting on the rest of the 3s parts im going to finish this off. And for the love of god I know what I'm doing, it will end up fine.  Got the bumper realized supras fronts are like a foot wider than celicas     ...... so i cut it in half   And just started to fit it and grind away at what was in the way     After a bit of test fitting, started to fill the huge gaps.    Got dark like 20 mins after this picture so i had to stop. Should have them both ready for fiberglass by tomorrow, as long as it doesnt snow!

I tried bondo hair like the first time i did anything and it just made a mess. probably because i had no idea what i was doing but regular bondo is super easy for my to work with. I will try it with my next project though... got some ideas on a sub box for 2 18"
