New from Wisconsin

[Austin2048]

Hey everyone. Just joined here a few days ago. I recently purchased a 1987 Toyota Supra. Non Turbo, 5 speed 204k miles. She was sitting for over 2 years in the grass underneath a tree before I got her. Fired right up after a little bit of work. All I know about her history is that she was driven to Appleton Wisconsin from Baltimore Maryland. She needs some work but drives pretty good. Very little rust and a nice big dent on the passenger side fender. Got a few pics in the links below.

Thanks the only 2 things I hate about this car is that the power steering has a leak and I can't afford to keep adding fluid or change the hose and the starter is dead so I have to push start it everywhere I go. Usually by myself. Other than that, I love it

Mine had a power steering leak when I first bought her. I ran some stop-leak through it and it worked like a charm. Might try that cheap fix before you dig deeper into the wallet...

Push starting...everywhere you go...by yourself...it's the hard knock life lol. Hopefully you get all the issues sorted. Welcome to the forums.

It sucks, really bad. I learned to use hills to my advantage but sadly most parking lots are flat. I think the starter is just dead. This is how I park at my apartment... until my landlord bitches

I will try that and hope it works. Its a pretty bad leak. I had one bottle of power steering fluid and it lasted me all of 2 days
