Thanks for the suggestions, as you all have been so much help and support me in continuing this project...
Got a quart of 3E5 Super Red II paint...
Tomorrow going to repaint the plastic side moldings/side striping... Should I mask the sides off and paint them while on the car, or take them off...
Does anyone know where to get the '3.0 Turbo' badge from since they seem to be so hard to find? Anyone selling theirs?

Started cleaning the interior, and this black jacket stuff seems to work well on black leather... Just sucks when the leather starts cracking, guess there is only so much I could do...

Quick question, and sorry but I am too lazy to look it up.. Found this but no help...

My clock, radio and fog lights and interior lights(on roof) aren't working... Is this due to a malfunctioning diagnostic code that needs...
Forgot to mention that this is the result of crazy ex girlfriends... This happened before the whole restoration process and just happened to run into these pics... Still makes my blood boil...
Which front grill emblem/logo? I was leaning towards 'Toyota' to keep it simple...
but then saw '3.0 Turbo' which seems much harder to find and not cheap...

The site is obviously out of them, and heard that Toyota used to sell them, but not...
How do you guys get the turbo and heat shields looking brand new? I saw a few and would not want to buy a whole new turbo just for looks... I tried purple power which works really well but still has the stained/old looking marks which are hard to get rid of...

The paint is a lot better than I expected... but will still look into a new paint job...
Everything is now up and running, and will focus on all the little things around it, weather strippings, suspension, bearings, struts(both suspension and hood/trunk)...
We only used rubbing compound...
yeah, after a few comments here, I decided to go stock with just a restoration...
I am just getting started and know there is a lot more to do, but slowly and surely...
Hopefully everything will be up and restored for the Ocean City, Md car show on June 9th...
Got my engine up and running after a blown head gasket!
Part 1 of my restoration...

Thanks again for the props...
Finally got it started up!
Since I always had the car, the gas pedal has always been extra stiff and hard to push down, is that normal on all MK3 Supra's?

Awesome... Yeah I will keep the front bumper stock as much as possible, and dont mind too much fabrication as long as it doesn't effect the outside look...
I will probably do what you did and cut off a little but eventually get the kit...
Just got the head back from the machine shop... total at the shop was $408 and they did cleaning, pressure test, replaced all the valve seals, re-seated 2 valves, and milled off .006" off...
