i finally was able to drive my car to the driveway from garage only 20 feet it runs but not good bad knock from what i think is the lower end i have some pics.I was surfing craigslist one sat morning i saw the ad 1 supra and 1 truck 600 bo. holy $#!@ i thought i emailed the person "ill give you 400 for the supra and i can bring cash and my trailer today" then my wife says hey we need to go to my mothers today.Besides i really dindt wanna go to my mother-in-laws i live in Manchester nh she lives in Plymouth MA yeah 100 miles away half way to my mother-in -lawr i get a call from Sandy if you want it come get it ok we stayed at mothers house for a few houre drive back home and i say im going to silver-lake nh its 1 and 1/2 hours north of my house u wanna go? Sure she says and we get in my truck with my 6 yr old daughter after driving all day and head out we get there just as its getting dark we pull up and the truck is out by the end of the drive way i think if the supra is a pile ill take the truck it looks good 87 4x4 xtra cab no rot on the body and it runs great then we back into the driveway and she opens the garage door. Just like in the movies as the door opens i only see jack stands what the? im thinking then i see it pulled nose in on jack stands so it wont get flat spots on the tires i almost pooped my pants blue 5sp targa top and most importantly TURBO 87k miles origional owner this thing looks like it just came from a toyota showroom. Except the dog hair all over it. she bought both vehicles new in 87 one for winter driving and one for the very short summer season in 87 she was 40 now its 2008 you do the math. I really did not think she was any older than 40 now must be couse she owned a supra. anyway i jacked it off the stands and pulled it onto my trailer chained it down and wanted to get the hell out of there before she changed her mind about selling it. The whole time i was loading it up she was crying (really) and she must have taken 50 pics of the car and wanted a family portrait of my daughter,wife and myself with the supra i got it home put it in my garage and wenr back the next saturday and bought the truck. The truck ran great for the 100 mile trio back home i did bring it to my shop for a good cleaning after i pressure washed the frame i saw it was bad real bad. back on craigslist it went i ended up getting 500 fot it so now im into my supra for 100 bucks plus a set of plugs and a new timing belt i have ordered a crank kit from my brothers Toyota dealers parts dept and will be into it for under 1000 the turbo has a lot of play and ill either rebuild it or find a replacement one sorry to be so long winded but i had to tell someone. how do i add the pics so every one can see em?
