Default '85 Supra

Hello All,

Just got this Supra a few days ago. Paid about $700 CAN so I'm sure it's got a few issues I don't know about yet.

So far it's pretty solid. It's a P-Type (from what I've read, L-Types didn't come with leather in '85, which mine has, unless one of the previous owners swapped out the original interior), and everything works! Electronic dash is pretty cool, original radio head unit is awesome. Sunroof doesn't leak, hatch doesn't leak, engine is still strong (Just a smidge over 220,000 km).

Only a couple problems I've found so far. The fuel door barely opens, and there is some under body rust which should be fairly easy to fix. Also some minor body rust around the antenna and door handles. Hopefully I can remove that without any major hassles. Also need to replace the passenger side mirror unit as the internals are bursting out from behind the mirror itself...

The only major issue involves the brakes. The car seems to still be well aligned still and doesn't pull if you let the wheel go, but as soon as you hit the brakes (takes about half the pedals' travel before they kick in) it rrrreally pulls to the right. Literally need about 2 inches of opposite lock to keep her straight, and even then the rear shimmies about. Will probably have to completely redo the brake system.

Found this out when I was driving it back home after I picked it up. Not the best thing is a rainy Canadian winter...

So yeah. That`s my new car. Let me know what you think!
