89 Supra Turbo and the beast (BMW M5)

Brilliant choice, E39 M5 FTW. Great car with an even better engine : ) I'm quite jealous here :D

btw, I know its mandatory in the states, but the US spec's blinkers look really ugly in orange instead of transparent ones like the Euro spec.

like this

I agree. I've also heard you can replace them with white ones if you buy them thru ebay.

Got too much stuff to do on the supra before I even consider that though.

Yes it does look better ;)

This was a tough one, look at the door frame, it got crumpled inwards by turning into the garage too far.

Also I replaced the front bumper as the previous owner cut the front grille out (messily) and the grille itself was sagging due to the strength of the grill no longer holding it up. Wish I had a pic of that.

Anyway, no idea who that person in the pics up top is.

Also, if you're wondering how the car got decapitated in the earlier picture, it's a T-top.

Those Supras are cool, but wtf was Toyota thinking with the hubcap wheels?

Agreed, they're awful. The white car in those pics is the same car, just to make sure we're clear here. I sprayed the wheels so they don't look too stupid.
 
Always liked the MkIII better than MkIV not sure why, maybe it has to do with the ricer stigma of The Fast and The retarded :D

Even though it's a faster car, I found the body to be flabby and bulbous.

To prev. poster, I registered.

You can see the previous owner didn't care, the Supra's wheels are fitted wrong. The left/right side wheels are mixed.
 
Two of all my time favourite cars. Also glad to see you fixed up the Supra, these cars deserve to be driven not left to rot.
