Aaaaaaand every great ending has a beginning. Mine? Well. Ive wanted one of these cars for a LONG time. 15 years easy. So after various events, various previous project cars......I got one.
And its ugly.....to be honest this whole thing is a little daunting, but the Eclipse GST I had before this had this same neglected look.
The car is a 89 Supra Turbo 5 speed. Car was originally ice blue pearl? Then painted blue and then....black? Front end has something going on.....core support is tweaked....bumper held on by a zip tie and hope.
Interior is well...26 years old and brittle.
Car came from a guy on here....Kevin (shout out!) who was SO kind enough to deliver it to me for the asking price, a little extra, Dying Light on Xbox One and a gallon of sweet tea from MCD's.....awesome guy![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Plans........gut all of the interior. Salvage what I can. Reuse what I need. Interior will be gutted....two seats and IDK about the dash..its cracked and I dont mind running without one if I can figure out how to mount all I need....or come across a good deal on one.
Body will be last. I will strip as much of the paint off as I can and repaint OEM color. Safelite can put a windshield in for cheap.....need some moldings. Thats last.
Mods? Has a custom exhaust, no cat. Maybe a downpipe? Intake, CX racing (I think) FMIC, SAFC, Timer, and a Lex AFM.......
Motor runs fine. I have to redo some wiring as I cant stand butt connectors, I need to get some hosing for the PCV and ISC. Remove the P/S, A/C (none of which works). Go from there. Plans will evolve as the car does. So heres some to begin with pics. Hate on
