    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Ok... Thanks. Just don't wanna have to wait forever since it's coming from so far away and Ronnie has not shown sings of life lately. Very detailed and appealing job you're doing there. I'm always avoiding taking a peek of builds because of this type of builds that makes you wanna have it too...

    What was the average charge to blast and powder coat your sub-frames??? I am going to follow you on this, but don't want to get ripped-off here in Miami.

    Raptor Racing is not selling them anymore. Who did you get it from and how long ago? Note: Ronnie's last post was on Oct 2011.

    What's the Subframe's bushing kit part #s (front/rear). I purchased Energy Suspension's control arm/link kits "8.3127R" & "8.3126R" but have not been able to find the subframe kit.

    Wrecked my 89 M/T turbo shell on the way to the paint shop yesterday (7/12/2013)

    Thanks for the heads-up. I do understand that from now on, this will be another thread (AT to MT swap + N/A to Turbo) and I will start researching down that road. I guess my priority now is to pull engine and tranny from new shell, prepare engine bay and cross member for fresh paint and...

    Wrecked my 89 M/T turbo shell on the way to the paint shop yesterday (7/12/2013)

    Ok, so the new 89 "BHG" shell is N/A, AUTO with round mounts (about a year old according to previous owner). Now what? P.S. Thanks to all members posting replies to this tread. Thank you!

    Wrecked my 89 M/T turbo shell on the way to the paint shop yesterday (7/12/2013)

    Today I went out and got the "BHG" N/A 89 AUTO ($1,000.00). No rust but on the battery tray area. The interior is in pretty good condition except for the dash (I have a good one in stock). New Targa seals came with car (still on original packing from Toyota) and good gas tank almost full of gas...

    Wrecked my 89 M/T turbo shell on the way to the paint shop yesterday (7/12/2013)

    Haven't got a chance to go look at the 89 shell replacement due so much rain in Miami. I want to be able to get under and make sure I am not going from bad to worse. My shell is accident/bondo free. It's just rusted and it might be wiser to find a rust free shell with a good gas tank. I've been...

    Wrecked my 89 M/T turbo shell on the way to the paint shop yesterday (7/12/2013)

    I'm sticking to an 89 shell and I just found two 89's in my area. It's just deciding which one is on better shape after a personal inspection. I will be inspecting an 89 Auto today which was re-painted to Maroon Metallic from Red (this one is N/A, TT auto with a BHG). The other one is a white...

    Wrecked my 89 M/T turbo shell on the way to the paint shop yesterday (7/12/2013)

    Question? My car is a stock 89 7MGTE and have all parts for it since it was running good before I decided to restore it and bring it back to its splendor. I suppose that I could use an 89 shell not matter if turbo, manual or auto. I do understand that the ideal shell would be a 5 speed since I...

    Wrecked my 89 M/T turbo shell on the way to the paint shop yesterday (7/12/2013)

    Got me an 89 M/T Turbo about 1.5 years ago and have been restoring it a nut a at time due to lack of free time. So... I finally got the 7MGTE rebuilt and when the shell was being towed to the paint shop in Miami, the shell suffered some damage because the dummy pulling it with a "U-Haul Tow...

    Need help deciding which fuel pump..

    I am on the same boat as ZoomZoomZoom in regards to engine setup and been following the pump upgrade thread, but the last post (2 resistors) just threw me off as well.
