supranutz · 11-14-2009, 11:29 PM

hi everyone seen the board thought id join im really a hotrodder but several years back i spent a few years as a tech for a toyota dealer
and fell in love with a few toyotas the mk111 turbo supras and the first gen supercharged mr2 the elusive mr2 has slipped thru my hands a few times (prolly cuz im always looking to steal em away for cheap) but two nights ago i scored the supra i wanted a 87 turbo targa

the car has been sitting since 2000 so the tank is pretty nasty ive had to put 4 tires on her and waiting for the fuel pump to come off ebay and picking up a junkyard tank tommorow found her on craigslist for litterally the money i had in my pocket so i stole her away quick i was the first caller and the price became firm when 20 more joes called right after

here are a few pics i took today while out in the yard cleaning her up

Looks good!!! Some day I will post some pictures of my '89 MKIII Turbo I scored a couple of months ago for a cool 1400 green backs, and have put about 5300 miles on it since. It is currently at the shop getting a T61 and a 3" exhaust installed.
