(not your average) '85 Build thread.

No story, bought a Celica Supra coz I wanted to drift.

Plans are:
Keep it N/A
Low as shit
Not give a fuck

Bought it like this:

Completely stock minus a roody-poo cone filter. It was also 2 cylinders down on the way home. Window wouldn't roll up and heat didn't work.

Clean ass interior.

Busted ass 5M.

I decided to tear into it and fix shit.

My friend's mexican'd up zed.

Crown ist gut.

Colors, etc.

Then I got bored as shit and ruined it.

DEAL WITH IT.

Turned it into a truck (two 7M-GE's), also got a shit ton of oil on my armrest so that was ruined.

Yoink.

Plop.

Oh yeah I started to cut the coils, put them back on and noticed this:

It didn't lower it for shit.

Found a cool license plate while I was at a junkyard, grabbed it. Also couldn't fit the oil cooler where I had it with the intercooler mounted up so I fanboi'd that.

Ran into some bad luck and the 7M did it's (other) usual 7M bit so I had to yank the motor out.

Yeah, all that silver is metal.

One of these is not like the other. ;_;

Welp.

Since it may be down a while I'll start stripping the paint and cuttin' sprangs.

Prepping panels individually because it's easier.

Poor Celi-Supra :/

 

[Scruggs86.5T]

Just sad, thats all! Just sad! The whole situation.

Could have built a full track ready 240 for stupid cheap....But..


You made me lol.

 

[Scruggs86.5T]

I'm sorry? How does that make you lol? I would love to have a good/decent condition 5M MKII. They are almost like the designated driver(DD- Daily Driver) to the MKIII. Such a waste.

 

[Master_Spazez]

Believe me I hate myself almost every day for painting it, but trust me It will look great once I finish painting it (I've also ever seen a MKII in the green/beige scheme). I'm in no real rush to get it running again since I have a DD that's cheap on gas and parts.

And I didn't buy a 240 because I saw this for $600 (running, at that) and I just had to have it, I love how MKII's look compared to the other Supras. The only thing I don't regret at this point is putting the 7M in it. Hell it even had a working R12 system (only just) when I first got it.

I loved your first post. It was a rare, complete cycle showing the beginning, climax, and end with that junkyard-esque pic of the supra at the end missing panels etc.
Brilliant!:opcorn::

Started to primer the car, but then I ran out. Stripping all that gross paint off took forever.

 

[kwatso23]

This is a little upsetting.
You're pretty rough on your cars dude. But i spose it's your car not mine so do what you want with it.
Also why was there a 7M in the back of your car???
I'll keep watching anyway to see where this goes.

 

[Master_Spazez]

I don't have a truck lol. At least I didn't have an interior to ruin and get upset about so that's a plus. But when it was running I ragged on it 24/7.

 

[Master_Spazez]

So I've been painting moar.

Because race car etc etc.

I need a welder so bad. Ex-battery tray.

White and brown, hell yeah pimpin.
