Eamon's build thread

[Eamon]

Alright. So about 3 months ago I bought my first car, a 1987 burgundy Supra Turbo hardtop.

Everything was cool until about a week later when I slid on some ice and hit a telephone pole . (my fault for waiting too long to put on snow tires)

I decided I would repair it with the help of my dad and one of his friends and anyone else I can get to help. Eventually I found an 86.5 NA hardtop with a good front end so I decided to pick it up.

I also got a white 87 turbo with the engine completely taken apart with a good front end also but the body has rust issues and it is not roadworthy. (no pics yet but they'll come.)
So far my dad's friend has straightened everything out and even got the front bumper from the 86.5 on it to see how it would fit and it is slightly out of place . I'll post pics soon and keep you updated and ask any questions I have here.

Well I got the condenser back in but I've been having problems lining up the fan since my rad support is pushed in slightly. It keeps rubbing against the condenser and I'm stuck.

Well we finally got it back together and it's pretty much all fixed (except for a few small things)

Looks good. I messed up my fender and still havent got aroung to puting the new one on yet. How dou you unbolt the bolt that holds the nose piece to the fender? I couldnt seem to get to it.

Anyone know how I can straighten these headlights out?

I had a little trouble with that myself. I just somehow managed to stick a wrench in there.

Also can someone tell me what holds the grille in place? I can't seem to get it in place.

Ok so today I got the car inspected and drove it home and got gas but when I pulled into the gas station it started leaking coolant out of the overflow. The coolant level was a little over the fill line. could this be the problem?

Also is there anything I should do to my car since it's been sitting for a few months?
