Hello.
heres my story:

I had an 85 Celica GTS sold it and and then i found a guy selling a 87 Supra Turbo Targa for $900 (Canadian) and i know right off the bat that the motor was on its last legs (hg and a lil'rod knock.) but the body is in great shape, no rust to be found. so i thought it would be an alright investment to put a new motor into.

I drove it as is for a while and just as i imagined it got worse and so i pulled her off the road. and she sat for a couple months and now i have pulled the old motor and have a jdm 7mgte coming (should be here tomorrow or the next day) and a few other knick knacks coming as well.

So far i have Full gasket set, cone filter and adaptor, some gauges.

Hi Darryl, I'm Jeff welcome to supraholics anonomous. Good luck with your rebuild, and i actually like those rims, I would be more than happy to trade them for the shitbum American Racing split 5 spokes that I'm stuck with.
