When you say "looked" do you mean you drove or you just "looked" I'd drive if you hadn't already. I'd go for it, but I would offer, him $2550. I bet the final price will be $2650. You do have an advantage he does say "I'd like to get rid of it A.S.AP., I think if it drove good and strong and doesn't missfire, I'd say the compression is good. Besides, hes not gonna let you take off any parts for a compression test, I wouldn't if it were my car. He has a lot of very nice parts on it. if you wer to buy all these parts seperately, it would cost you probaly more. Besides why wouldn't go over everything any way, It needs paint, why wouldn't you do the engine as well, unless you like it as is and want it as a d.d. I guess weigh the the pro's and con's between your and and that one.
I think it's good deal at the price I mentioned.
my five cent's and M.H.O.

Unless they have receipts for the engine stuff I wouldn't trust that he has anything that I couldn't see.

Good point, I would say the only thing Turbo can't see is the 60-1 and the 550's
nah you can see that stuff, a modified ct-26 is easily recognizable, and if its got 550's chances are there injector plugs will have shrink wrap or tape on them.
n if he'll let you take a valve cover off you can check the condition of the cams, and see if theres arp studs.

Hey, your right!!!
except I have adaptors for my injectors. Shrink wrap as in hard wire? as far as the 60/1 and the studs, your right tho, that's if he'll let ya take it apart. Couldn't you just drive it, a 60/1 and 550's should be a noticable difference compared to stock.

I did drive it and yes it is alot more powerful then stock for sure. I asked about the HG he said Cometic but no proof was offered or asked.
Go for it. Are you giving up on your current Supra projects? Just saying, having more then one Supra project at a time is time / money consuming.
dont judge a book by its cover, some people dont give a shit about looks.
people used to look at my 87 and say damn thats ugly, untill i started it.
just my opinion
