(whats up, new to the site so most of this is copied and pasted from another fourm i'm on... enjoy :biglaugh
i have always wanted a MKIV since i saw one auto-xing when i was like 12 and i have been saving for one since my first job, but being in college has been tight so my dreams of owning a supra before i graduate college seemed slim to none....
Until my buddy found a '89 Supra Turbo and we decided to go halfs on it and make it into a auto-x/track car. the Car was very cheap since it had a wharped head and thats all it needed (i hope). My buddy goes to salsbury and the car was at R&H toyota down the road from my school, i decided to check it out during my break between classed. i went in talked to my buddy who is a sales guy and than met the dude selling the car and he showed me it and told me what all was wrong and what happened and long story short and we went through with the deal and i picked it up thursday after class. as soon as i got home it started to rain and we had to push the car into the garage since it didn't run, which was a pain since it was only my lil brother and my sister who was home. luckily, my buddy eric was on his way home and swong by and helped and my buddy jimmy came to put a racing stripe on my race porsche, so we managed to get in in the garage out of the rain.
imedately i started tearing it apart and since it needs a new paint job, i got the hood, bumper, grill, and fender off, sanded and primered and alot of lil things until we get the head to work on the motor....
and here are the pics of the process so far in the last 2 months maybe
on the trailer about to push in the garage
