Hey y'all, new to the site from Baton Rouge, LA here. Just bought an '89 MK III Turbo a few months back. Been slowly fixing her up. Paid $450 from a guy who had left it rotting in the sun for over 6 years. Had to replace the fuel pump, but got her running (roughly, but she runs). Gonna need some TLC, but I think it will be worth it in the end.

This is my second 7M-GTE Supra that I've owned. My first was an '87 MK III Turbo that I bought from my uncle back in college. My uncle ragged the hell out of it and left it sitting for about 3 years, so I picked it up from him. Ended up having to sell it to pay college expenses though. I definitely miss that car, as it's the one that started my fascination with the MK III!

Ok, so I'm new to the site as of about 2 weeks ago. However, I just picked up another MK III today. I just bought an '89 Turbo (pics above) but I found a '91 Turbo that was too good to pass up. I think this one is a keeper... Paid $2,000 for it - it has a blown head gasket (go figure) but I've got a guy fixing it for me for next to nothing. Paint and leather are a little rough, but should be nice one it's fixed up. Let me know what you think...
