Is the Targa top a problem?
Are there any areas of concern about the bodies themselves that knowledgable Supra owners know are common in the MkIII as it ages?
Is there anything else about which I need to be concerned before I start this process?
Any estimates on the cost of a decent platform given that I don't care about the condition of the engine/transmission?


the targa top isnt a problem really the only issue is that when you take it off you get body flex because you loose that body strength but you can buy something called targa bars and all they are is just roll bars basically to keep the strength on the body and you can enjoy the sun at the same time.

mm i havent experienced any body issues just dont hit anything

engine wise i have seen 7mgtes for sale from japan with 30k to 50k miles on them for 700$ imported from japan. mine has 150k miles on it and its running like a champ.
