Well I was going to be all hush hush about this car....

[biohazard]

But since I can't seem to stop telling people. It's a 1987 Toyota Supra. I am also on the hunt for parts. You could probably tell what it needs. As of now, I have the driveshaft pieces out along with the transmission.

Dude! Nice!

That looks like a great project car. You're going to have so much fun restoring that car... I can't even imagine it.

One of these days when I'm out of college and settled into my career I'd like to do something like that. I just can't afford to have a project car right now while trying to save 20% of my income.

Have fun, and make sure to keep us posted bro. We need a picture timeline of this thing. You should just start up a topic, and title it "87 Toyota Supra 'Work in Progress'" and just update it from time to time with pictures and a description of what you've done to it.

Congrats on the find, though. Again, you're going to have a lot of fun with this I think.

Yeah, it was a steal, kinda. The motor has $5500 worth of work done to it and I got it for $2500. But it needs some work. A back window, some interior, probably brakes, exhaust, rear struts, bodywork and paint. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. It runs, which is a plus.

[DustinsDuster]

just curious; is it turbo?

[biohazard]

Yep. It's a 7M-GTE.

Yep. It's a 7M-GTE.

thank god. Otherwise you spent entirely way to much money.

Looks like a good project. Did the previous owner happen to put a good head gasket on it?

[Drifte]

ah sweet thats all i needed to know. get some ebay 3" xhaust for like $150! If your good at body work that thing will be sweet.

[biohazard]

I'm no good at body work or painting. I need to go around and get some quotes.

o god have fun w/ that

mk3 parts are getting really hard to find and the little shit adds up fast

good luck

I have parts coming for it. I have a hatch with a window (if you can't tell, there isn't a back window), the body panel that sits between the taillights, some body trim, a knock sensor, and the transmission piece that's broken. The reason why I am getting a hatch and the body panel is that it was backed into by a delivery truck and it broke the glass and bent up the hatch and the body panel between the taillights. All that stuff for $300. Not bad I think.

haha that is does. laurens supra has more money put into it than ever thought possible. older foreign cars can empty your pockets fast.

Posted some new pictures in the other topic.

bodywork isnt too bad; it just takes patience. especially if youre not relying on it as a d/d, i would just try it on some less viewable panels to practice on.
