This is my 3rd Supra - I sold the last two 88t, and 89t, but I couldn't stay away lol. As of now nothing special, just trying to make it somewhat clean and keep it reliable.

- 87T 5spd
- BIC DDP
- Profec A Boost Controller(10-11ish lbs)
- RSR Race springs / Kyb GR-2
- Rebuilt 7m / Stock HG / ARP Headbolts
- Cheap 3in filter
- 89+ Trim
- 89+ Tails
- 89+ Climate Control


I didn't take any pictures that I can find at least, of motor removal/install. But basically I bought this one not realizing that it had a nice size hole in the #6 piston. Bought the rebuilt 7m from a member on here. Bought all new hoses/belts etc...The main things while the engine was out. And long story short Here is some of the progress over the last year and a half'ish. Body was pretty straight overall - paint was rough, lots of fading. Anyways, onto the pics!

Nice Stripped Sawblades lol

wow nice paint :p

I appreciate it! I was a little skeptical at first. I always had my heart set on black, and literally changed my mind last minute at the paint store. Def. happy with the choice I made.

I appreciate all the comments!

The engine bay has also been painted.

The IS300 wheels would still be on, but one got a bad dent - And I didn't like how far in they set.

Lol - I do like the wheels though - They will def. be staying on for the time being.

Again, thanks for the comments!
