finally decided to jump back into a supra after not owning one since around 2001 when i sold my last one :/
picked up a 1989 turbo 5 speed car. i had been looking for around 6 months for a decent starting point for a 2jzgte swap. i looked for months and people within a reasonable distance to pick one up was either way over priced for the condition or more rust than i wanted to deal with or the car was hacked up from attempting to do a swap.
after deciding to make the 3 hour trip to look at the car i picked up knowing the car had motor issues just went ahead and took a trailer because the guy was a b*tch to deal with on the phone.
the car had sat for 3 years before i purchased it. the guy said it had a burnt valve. but after a jump the car started right up.. it ran rough but well enough to load on the trailer and to unload which is always a plus. at idle you could not tell the car had any issues at all. but the turbo was shot and leaked oil through it.
need to find a front and rear bumper due to damage but overall rust is almost non existent on the shell that i have seen so far.
so few weeks ago pulled the motor out and sold it and have a few pieces of what i had laying around from it on ebay and getting ready to start cleaning it up and body work will start asap and getting ready to put a ton of parts from driftmotion in it.
