My barn yard supra from Holland

[Spoony]

Hi Guys,

I have been reading topics on Supramania for quite some time now and because I bought a mk3 Supra bought in Nov 2008 I thought it was time to show it to you.
For a few years I had been working on my cousins (thevork's) Supra it was time to buy one for myself. The search was very hard, because lots of Supra’s in Holland have high mileages and lots of rust. Finally I found one in Belgium, just across the border. It was a originally Dutch car with 88.900 kilometers on it with of course a BHG. I bought it for 1200 euro, fixed the BHG and now I have driven the car this summer for about 5000 km’s with no problems whatsoever. I plan to keep the 7M stock and swap to JZ in a few years.

Now some pictures of picking up the car in Belgium, fixing the BHG and of course driving it!

This was how I found it in the mud!

Bringing her home

Haha, lol. Here in Europe a lot of people switch to the US/JDM tails.

Thanks for all the positive reactions! One day I hope to swap a 1 or 2jz. :love:

 

[thevork]

89 tails from europe are thesame as the pre-facelift tails from the USA.

The only piece that's different is the center section because in Holland we have the crappy bigass license plates instead of the smaller ones used in the US/Japan.

Same as the UK plates - huge width. Also, we have rear fog lamps.

But nice ride dude

Hi guys,

I have a small question regarding my supra. I want to buy a gauge pod from gaugepods.com, however I can choose from medium and dark grey. Does anyone know which one I need? My car is from 1989.

Thanks!

you need medium gray..


dark gray aka shadow gray was only offered on 91/92 vehicles, so you're good to go..!
