I had a slew of cars thrown at me over the last couple weeks from SR Performance. I do a lot of work for them once they are finished with the mechanical fix ups. This car in particular is their shop car theyve had for a few months now. This car has a GIANT single turbo setup with a built auto tranny(not familar with the exact model-maybe turbo 400??) and also is equipped with a full COBRA IRS rearend. Doesnt hurt to make 600+WHP and never fall out of boost with the auto!! Its like a rocket when you peg it! :D There is no doubt it is definitely a fast car, but it definitely needed some exterior loving!!!!

When I first started, it was covered in dust and sand so I had to be very careful washing it.

I started with the hood to see where I was going to stand, it had a fairly hard clear and I ended up having to use a Burgandy wool with M105 using the KBRM to remove the defects. This was not a factory paint, nor a good quality one, but I was able to clean it up pretty decent for what it was.

And finally, the entire hood finished.

I then moved onto the rest of the car using M105/Burgandy, M105/Polishing Pad, and M205/Finishing Pad.

:cheers: Nice job yet again :)

Always a pleasure to watch your before/after shots.
 
Very nice job, awesome car! What did you use for wax/sealant after polishing?
 
Good work man.. That is one awesome car.. But what the hell is up with the exhaust pipe? It looks ridiculous haha..
 
Nice work! That paint was hammered pretty well from the looks of it...I've always liked Supra's, and you've definitely brought new life to the paint.
 
Dear Lord, I wouldn't even want to guess how much that detail cost. That looks great.

:righton:
 
Wow the depth change from before it was polished to after is incredible! You "emulsified" the paint!!!! Favorite shot was probably the hood with the one side complete and the other untouched. Of course, if i really think about it, i like them all.
