89 Supra n/a DD build

[slowma70]

Wat up SM I just purchased my first Supra for 1400. Its a 89 non turbo, targa top with Lsd and Tems. Its sitting on staggered 17" TT wheels and has a ricey exhaust. So far i have only cleaned the interior, removed the old purple tint and installed a new battery with terminals.
My plans for this car is to keep it up to date in maintenance while upgrading the suspension and exterior looks.

So far I have ordered : -A rebuilt brake master cylinder
-All 4 brake rotors and pads
-Ngk G power spark plugs
-Ngk spark plug wire set(blue)
-Valve cover gasket w/ grommets
-Black shift boot, grey e-brake boot and grey armrest cover


Here are pics of the night i bought it:

Here are some after removing the tints:

Hood is obviously open..

next will be the brake job, replacing the shift boot and armrest cover.

Did you clear it? From the pictures it looks like you may have some paint streaks in it. Still looks better then before though, can't wait until winter is over I have many things that need to be painted. Can we say window trim anyone? lol

Got to work on replacing the spark plugs, plug wires, valve cover gaskets with grommets and getting rid of the 3rd cylinder cover:

All the oil the was leaking from the 3rd cylinder gasket:

Cleaned up all the oil and replaced the 3rd cylinder gasket with oil drain plug gaskets using this link:
