New Owner!! Need Advise

jokiSupra86 · 02-05-2008, 08:37 AM

I finally made my dream come true well sort of...

got an 86 Toyota Supra for $300 USD Obviously The engine is not working plus it is rusted and old, My Husband says that there is no point on me wasting my time and money on that engine that i should get a used one in good condition. The interior of the car is pretty damaged, exterior is in good condition. I really would love to rebuilt that car (performance, interior and exterior ) I would love to see that car running some day and why not? looking great!! I can't change my mind now since I have already paid for it i just need to have it towed it to my house and start putting money and work into it.
I want to start with the engine but i have no idea where is it most convenient to get it.
I would love if some of you guys will give me some opinions
References and tips

thanks for those of you that took the time on reading this

thats good you got that supra. sorry dont have any advice. im looking at a 89 turbo supra. i think the turbo is out cause the guy that is selling it says the timing is off and it is more then likely just the turbo going out i think.

good luck on your car.

There are several places you can get JDM engines from. Search on the forum. Search on the net, and ebay.

With time and $$$ the car can be a beautiful show piece, or a fun drag car. Even a daily driver, like mine.
