well instead of spending an ass load of money on fixing the dent and repainting and all that on my grey car. I decided to get a different shell.

It's a 1990 Turbo Targa 5 Speed. Excellent condition, needs a few interior pieces but it is pretty much mint.

Picked it up over in Tampa on Friday. very long trip after everything was said and done.

the car was parked under some trees with a car cover for a few months then someone stole the cover and it sat for another 4 months before we picked it up. Needless to say it was DIRTY AS HELL. so we (Tissimo and I) washed it up yesterday and I got some before and after pics.

Before the wash....

Plans for the car....

i have a local kid that wants to buy my grey car with single 1j for 8K with the TT's and 7500 without the TT's. so if he buys my car then the maroon car will be getting a fresh 2J 5 speed swap in it

if he doesn't buy my car then i will be putting all my 1j stuff into this one.

Lets hope that kid realizes what a great deal your car is so you can do the 2J :bigthumb:

TINY cracks near the defrost vents in the dash which is awesome compared to my last 2 supras. but yea stuffs just kinda laying everywhere in there right now :(

Man it cleaned out pretty good. But I bet it took some good amount of srubbing to get that dirt off. Looking good man. A 2JZ would feel right at home in there . lol

Tell me everything you need for the interior, and I will hook yoou up. I have most of 3 burgundy interiors, just no seats, arm rests, door panels.

The car cleaned up very well. Good find. I hope you're able to get that 2J swap.

Things I would do first...

Replace rear sub-frame
Replace Struts
Get alignment

I know that car needs it, good luck and throw a 2J in it!
