Hey Supra fans!! So happy to join the ranks of those who own and love this car!
I had been searching diligently for some time for a Mk3 with under 150k miles in the Bay Area (WOO CALIFORNIA!) and finally stumbled across this beauty:
Check that vintage plate! :love:
I took my boyfriend (an MR2 enthusiast, driver, mechanic, drifter, and grip instructor) with me to inspect her and it turns out she was in great shape for being a nearly 30 year old bird. She's a 1986.5 NA and until myself has had only one owner. The couple bought her brand new back in the day and only put 121k miles on her until just before I bought her. They were old enough that they couldn't drive anymore, so they sold her to another gentleman who loves older Toyotas. He was planning to get her all spiffed up, but due to his job, he had to make a move to another state, so he had to sell her. He never had the time to register or work on her, so besides the reupholstered front seats and a few odds and ends, she's pretty much all original!
I was so proud, I had to take a pic in my driveway when I got her home with the keys! YAY! :icon_bigg:icon_bigg
She needs a new windshield (there's a crack right down the driver's side smack in the middle of view) and her bumpers need painted (ahhhh, that Toyota fade...) but she looks darn good, and she stops even better now that my boy and I replaced the brake master cylinder, rotors, pads, and added stainless steel lines! Look at the shiny!! :naughty:
I hope to post many more updates as we get the time and money to work on her and make her into the amazing car she was when she first hit the road (and eventually drop in a 7MGTE or a 2JZ!)
Nice to meet you all! :biglaugh:
