800 dollars for that may be ok. My brother got his n/a 5 speed and the engine was going to the crappers, for 800 bucks. The body/interior wasn't even that great.

meh, i paid $820 for my car, crappy, black, faded, N/A, 5 speed.

Paying under $1000 for a running car is a good deal IMO.

 

[OneJoeZee]

This is true.

I'm in the camp of body work first, engine/coilovers/wheels second. This is assuming the car is reliable. Then you have a great looking, reliable sports car that isn't very fast. What's wrong with that?

Then further down the road you can go NA->T or 1J swap. I would do this before suspension and wheels. A stock 1J or NA->T 7M won't overpower the stock brakes and suspension too bad.

K I'm done with this thread. I've gotten some good suggestions.


I'm pretty much gonna copy Boris like a little fanboy...

Bodywork hands down, it needs it before the cancer spreads.

 

[TurboFreak]

There is no cancer!!!!!!!

No rust on the car except for that doorrrrr....

I agree the body needs help, but I would work on getting it running perfect, and stopping good too. The body parts you need will come around, and with it being white, a spray can or two will get you by until you are ready for paint.

Running reliable, coilovers, some other goodies to piss all of you off except maybe boris, garagefujimoto, wiisass, and some others, etc.

I'm all about what you're trying to do. When I bought my car the first thing I did was rebuild the motor. Then I bought coilovers, MKIV TT rims with nice tires, sway bars, and now I'm working on body myself. It's all your preference man, do what makes you happy.

One thing I can say is that since I've done the body work it sure makes me a lot happier to LOOK at my car

and supras cant go through kemo lol, but then again a 1jz with a lil cancer i could live with

 

[buldozr]

fix the body and paint homie, Pearl white with no pinstripe would make that thing POP, a spoiler and front bumper/lip wont kill your budget would it?
