I would like to get into this with the Supra if that is ok.

Just picked one up at a swapmeet recently......I plan on going VERY detailed with it with a lot of non-kit parts.

Will start the build after I finish the NSX I am currently working on.

Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Well, here we go! Got some pics of progress on the Supra so far (I will also be running this in On the Workbench).

Custom turbo from solder and aluminum heatshield around it. Aluminum tubing and rubber couplers from heatshrink tube.

Looking great Jacob!

Looking good Jonathan. Please don´t forget to remove the chrome trim from the wheel arches B)

I´ve started the same project some time ago. It´s been sitting in the box like this for almost two years. This CBP makes me want to get back to it. Have a Tokyo Drift Monte Carlo in the same stage aswell.
