Alright so i figured i would document my build thread and sare it with supramania. First of I would like to give a little history of the car.
About a year and a half ago i was ready to start looking for a car im 16 almost 17 now, and i have always had a love for the supra mostly mk4's like most people i was unware of mk3's. Anyway my uncle owns a body shop and works with local junk yard, so i was talking to him one day and telling him about how i always thought supras were amazing and want one. Little did I know he told me he has one at his shop in the back that he saved from the the junk yard that was going to be destroyed. Then he went on and told me that it was an mk3 and i didnt know much about them so i went home and did my research and saw them, at first i really wasnt a fan from loveing the mk4's for so long and then he gave me a call and said he was going to be giveing me this supra which is a dimond in the rough for sure, After days of reading up on mk3's and reciving the car i fell in love with it. Ok so after reciving the car me and my dad ( he is a body work guy and painter has been sense he was 18 and very talented) came to the conclusion that we have alot of work ahead of us,

Heres the obvious that wronge with it,
-Extreame head tick and you can here something broken bouncing around in there
- Body was actully in great shape a few dents and one rust spot on ds door the paint is hsit all fadded but lucky i have my dad to do that.
- Spare tire compartment big rust spot and ate right through.
- Front shadow gray interior is riped up.
- needs the obvious from sitting for 8 years , breaks tires, rims, seals ect ect

All in all we were very imprees as it has been sitting for 8 years or so and could wait to start digging into it.

sorry for shitty cell phone pics this is when i got the car the rest of the build is documented with a camra.
