Hey everyone. Just joined here a few days ago. I recently purchased a 1987 Toyota Supra. Non Turbo, 5 speed 204k miles. She was sitting for over 2 years in the grass underneath a tree before I got her. Fired right up after a little bit of work. All I know about her history is that she was driven to Appleton Wisconsin from Baltimore Maryland. She needs some work but drives pretty good. Very little rust and a nice big dent on the passenger side fender. Got a few pics in the links below.

Thanks :) the only 2 things I hate about this car is that the power steering has a leak and I can't afford to keep adding fluid or change the hose and the starter is dead so I have to push start it everywhere I go. Usually by myself. Other than that, I love it

Mine had a power steering leak when I first bought her. I ran some stop-leak through it and it worked like a charm. Might try that cheap fix before you dig deeper into the wallet...

It sucks, really bad. I learned to use hills to my advantage but sadly most parking lots are flat. I think the starter is just dead. This is how I park at my apartment... until my landlord bitches

I will try that and hope it works. Its a pretty bad leak. I had one bottle of power steering fluid and it lasted me all of 2 days
