Well the windshield will come out, most likely just leave the hard top pillars on the car though. Then both a and b pillars will need to be reinforced/braced, as the targa cars have stronger pillars, then the new sections will needed to be welded in. I will be cutting the whole roof off a targa...

Thats about 6-8 hours from me round trip.

Converting to targa is easy for someone in my position. Ive researched, i know what it entails and it will be very cheap for me to do correctly. Thanks for your useless insight.

Ive seen that one, i hate red/burgandy, the interior looks thrashed. I am going to be redoing the interior and motor but i want to do it in stages. I am definitely not going to buy junk but im going to take a look at this one. Im not in a buy or die mood.

I sent him pictures of a 7m-gte in a supra and a 1jz swap so he can see that its a 7m-gte.

Not within 400 miles of me, i cant find shit. I wanted a turbo/targa, but im going to get a turbo and convert it to targa maybe or just trade it off later on. His lack of knowledge actually gives him the price advantage, he could go off thinking he has a rare/valuable/1jz powered car and not...

I can pretty much tell its a 7m-gte from the pics compared to a 1jz, but he tells me it has a 1jz cast mark right on the block, i didnt ask him where. He says the car runs just fine, i dont see anything from the pictures that would tell me its not running. Im going to make him an offer, he...

Thanks for the help guys. He wants 3K. I'm going to take 3 but offer 2500 depending on condition and the test drive

The interior looks decent. I plan on studs and a cometic MLS headgasket anyway because I plan on building it. What's a tell tale sign of a blown HG ? Car is supposed to have coilovers with "eclectronic boxes" on them. Pic looks to have a blow off valve in it. And the blue body kit might be...

Getting ready to buy this car and it will be my first supra. What is the common things i need to look out for ? Guy keeps telling me he thinks its a 1jz LOL He doesnt know much about supras from talking to him on the phone.

I'm going to try to shave some weight. I found an 89 that apparently already has a 1jz in it for 3K

Yes.

Ill proly stay at 400hp. 400 hp in a 2800 lbs car should be fun. How much does an average MK3 weigh ? targa top.

If the 7m-GTE can hold a reliable 400 HP then i have no problems building it.

Car is $2800. I cant find anything decent in my area that is a Targa. Ill build the 7m, i just dont want to make a paper weight with the 7m trying to get to 400hp.

I can pick up a Lexus 2jz for about $350 needing a rebuild.

Anyone ?

What is an SAFC ? I havent bought the car yet, the car im looking at is an 87 Non turbo, targa top white w/ blue interior, 50K on rebuilt motor. I am a dealer for a lot of companies. Exhaust/manifold would be built in house, dealer cost on gauges, dealer cost on fuel system, sponsor cost on...

IS the 7m-gte capable of this deal or should i save some money up and start the build later.

Dont really have a budget, just trying to stay relatively cheap. I figured maybe 2-3K would get it done.
