New 89 Supra 7MGTE Owner

[carbongs]

Hello everyone,

My name is Tony. I am in Atlanta, GA and just picked up this 89 Supra with a 7MGTE Swap.

Plans are to just mildly mod her and keep her as a daily driver. This is my other car (2001 Lexus GS300) built as a show car.

Thanks for looking and I hope to learn more from the people on this forum.

She looks like she needs some loving.

 

[carbongs]

Yeah. She sure does. I've got some plans for her but trust me, she's in the right hands. I got her for a steal. Too good to pass up. Good news is she ran strong the 75 miles from where I picked her up. With a little work she'll be as good as new

Looks great, how much of the car's history do you know? Was it always a GA car?

they are motegi dp10 17" wheels. came with the car. you can buy them if you'd like lol i might be upgrading to stock oem tt wheels or some 18" staggered wheels

nice , alot of work ahead of you though....

it's all good. one step at a time. she's a driver and i'm not going to make a show car out of her. just a reliable daily with some pep in her.

Perfect swap! Welcome to SM.
