I've got two mk3 supras and a cressida.
Make sure the targa top doesn't leak first off..
compression test, white smoke out tail pipe to make sure no leaky intake or valve cover gaskets, etc.. check fluids and make sure there is NO oil leaks.
also test drive and make sure the suspension is in order b/c that will take up just as much $$$, if not more than an engine rebuild or repair.
there is my two cents
