Well Cat and I got dirty today working on her Supra. We pulled all the wheels off, vacuumed the entire interior/engine bay/cowl area (took the cowl and screens off)/bottom of the Supra/wheel wells. There was straw wrapped around the rear axles, I think somebody took the Supra through a field...
Kristel, it is Cat's Supra. I'm just doing all the work to it. She doesn't have her license yet so I have to register it in my name.
VT247, I'm afraid of the gas tank. I gotta figure out how to drain it. IIRC there is a drain plug in the bottom of the tank. I'm telling ya'll, craigslist...
Careful beachsupra, yes DM's intercooler may be have the same dimensions but that doesn't mean it's a Chinese knock-off. PM Aaron and ask him about his intercooler.
LOL, don't be a hater, can't blame the playa. Surf Craigslist and you will probably get a deal this good too. BTW, it's Cat's Supra. I just happen to be doing all the work to it, paying for everything it needs, and registering it in my name.
My dad has been a master mechanic since before I was born. I did my first oil change when I was 4 and have been working on cars ever since. When I got my license when I was 19 a few days after my birthday I bought a 2003 2-door Chevy Cavalier 5-speed. Got 3 speeding tickets in the first 6...
If it makes you feel better kotu half my motor is sitting on 2 shelves, engine wiring harness included. Yeah, there was no way I could have passed up this Supra. Funny thing is that several other Supra owners looked at it too, including Vladi on SF. He thought it was too much work. It really...
I forgot to mention, it has Tokico blues :D Thanks for the compliment kotu100. I knew the paint was pretty good, all it needed was a good hour of hard scrubbing to make it nice. Once I rewash it again I'll be giving it a good wax job since the paint seems to have no more clear left.
A long hard bath pays off really well. Much better. In case anybody is wondering, the right rear white sawblade is off the car right now due to a screw in the tire. The wheel that's on there now is just a spare.

Yes, I now have 2 Supra's as some of you know. I picked this up yesterday for $90. It's been sitting for 5 years or so with a BHG. The 7MGE is torn apart, this is how I got it. I will be swapping in a fresh 7MGE shortly and putting it back on the road. My dad will be driving it for the next...
Guyana, I'm keeping the car so I'd rather not destroy the lock cylinder. The key is stuck in there from the point where there are ridges on the key (the rest of the key that goes in the cylinder is about 3/4" long). I'll be pulling it out today by trying to use a scroll saw blade.
Please excuse my crappy cell phone pics, I'll have more up tomorrow taken by a propper camera (after the Supra's bath). BTW, the Supra has over 235k on the odo.
all I know is that the key is broken inside, I haven't tried turning the cylinder. I'll do more work on it tomorrow. I just brought the Supra home 4 hours ago.
