Hey all i'm new here so I thought i'd say hi. I have a 1988 Supra Turbo that I plan on swapping a 1jz into and mid next year doing a 2jz/stroker swap as well as replacing things bumper to bumper. Its gonna be a fun project of mine.

Well, thats about it I guess. :)

Well here's how she looks when I got her into my driveway...

then after some work here's the final moments before pulling out the 7m. My plan was to rebuild it (my friend who owned it had a BHG, so he had the head decked). Instead of just putting it together, for some reason, I wanted to rebuild it.

(I had to replace my fender so I traded my local j/y a set of 02 Tahoe rims with tires for a new one lol)

I have a lot more pics on my Myspace if you want to go look at it. And the brushguard was a joke because I was fitting it for my 4x4 Tercel Wagon (next to the Supra) and thought it would look funny on the Supra. So far all I have are ARP studs (once I lock down a 1jz i'm gonna sell them) and an HKS turbo timer.

Well as far as the 2 jobs go, i'm going to be getting a job thats worth 22/hour, 6 days a week, 12 hours a day for 5 months so i'll have plenty of money for the work I want lol.
