Hi Everyone (Update)

[Devin LeBlanc]

Hi, My name is Devin Im 18 and live in Las Vegas. Just picked up a 88 MK3 Supra. Non Turbo, Automatic, Targa Top. Its had 3 owners since 1988 and there is not a dent in the car, Interior is IMMACULATE MINT! Shadow gray too :icon_bigg Currently the plans are just as a daily driver for the mean time, and then either swap to the 7MGTE or do a 7MGE-T. My brother is an ASE Certified master mechanic and owns a Performance/Fabrication Shop here in vegas. First step to getting it running is a head gasket replacement.

Thanks, Looking forward to the forums

Welcome to the forums. Post up some pictures of your new(er) Supra when you get a chance. I'm not sure, but I don't think shadow grey interior was an option in '88... but I could be incorrect.

Here are some pics I took over at the previous owners house. Will get some better pics when its cleaned up a bit as long as maybe a build thread depending on what I decide to do to the car.. My brother used to own a 89 Turbo Targa and had someone on here make him a new E brake boot and arm rest cover, anyone know who that is? I need one

Thanks,Devin

Congrats. Doesn't look half bad for its age. And it's gonna be nice for you, having a master mechanic & performance/fabrication shop available at below retail. LOL Wish I had that hook-up!

 

[Devin LeBlanc]

Thanks, It looks pretty dang good for its age, true.. And only paid 800.00 not bad for the cond. its in

Got the Car home today after having to borrow a trailer and a truck.. It was kind of getting dark so this was the only pic I got! More to follow! Clean up starts tomorrow

Wow, that dash looks MINT!

Welcome to SM!

Glad to see you got it home!

After seeing how clean this is, it makes me sad to have gotten rid of mine. At least I still get to work on them

And the ebrake/shift boots came from Empera (awesome work as everyone knows)

same way i started out! $700 for my one owner. how many miles? if it sat for awhile with a bhg i bet theres coolant in the oil. i would check out the bearings to be safe. Then change the oil after 5-10 minute idle and again 5 heat cycles on the HG.

na motors are cheap and in better condition. Thats why Im going NA-T within the month.

 

[Devin LeBlanc]

Im not sure how bad the BHG is, I will find out when I pull the head today.. The oil looks pretty good but then again its been sitting for some time and water and oil separates. When I drain the oil hopefully I don't find any water in it. It has 130,000 miles on it

Thanks,
Devin

Little update, Washed the car today and cleaned the interior a little. Man I still can't believe how clean the interior is! That front bumper kills the whole car, Any suggestions?? Wet sand and then re clear coat?

Thanks,Devin

Nice find! I beleive you can get OEM paint in a rattle can, which might help your bumoer out.

 

[hvyman]

Welcome. You should start a build thread.

Also thats just reg gray. Shadow gray only came in 91 in leather with a darker gray and black.

 

[Devin LeBlanc]

Heres the link to the build thread! Got the head off today! Check the build thread..
