[Dr. Nick's Voice] Hi Everybody!
My name's Shankar, I live in Brampton, Ontario... Canada.
I had a couple of Supras, my current and maybe lifelong Supra is an 87 non-turbo targa 5spd in the middle of a 1jz-gte swap.
As I'm nearing the ending of my swap I thought I would start up some kind of a gallery of a few pictures of my supra and add along the way.
Basically, I had two supras already, my first, was being scrapped and parted, parts being put into the second and the rest sold. While doing this my feelings for the second were going downhill. I didn't want to keep it.
My brother found the 87 in the niagara falls area and we were headed up there anyways, so we went to check it out. I forget how much it was listed for but we ended up getting it for $1020.
The $20 was money for him to drive it to niagara and meet us there. Used CAA and got it towed home.
We got a flatbed and I remember the hick towing it home said that's why you don't take old pieces of shit like this out way to niagara falls in the first place from brampton. He didn't know if was running fine though, just needed a free tow...lol.
That's how it started, here are the pictures. They aren't that great, it was dark and I was focusing on what I could.
General Info:
It has 89+ mouldings
89+ tail lights
Rear wiper was shaved
Antenna was shaved
Square logo shaved, replaced with the larger Toyota "T"
It was painted toyota midnight blue pearl I think the year before her said.
It was used as a work car, power locks worked intermittently.
Sometimes the pass. side window wouldn't go up.
Heater didn't work on low.
Lip was warped, didn't try fixing it with heat, ditched it.
4x4 status on sawblades.
Interior was beaten to hell and back, probably didn't help being used as a work car.
Fog didn't work.
No shift boot.
Windshield was cracked in the corner.
Missing trunk wood/bracket.
Blinkers are sticky, sometimes stick on or off or varies the blinking speed by itself.
Diff. was leaking, from the cover.
That's about all I can think of. This is pretty much the introductiory thread of my supra. Any questions, just ask.
I don't know where ALL of the pics are I took, but I'll try and find them and update as I go
I'll bring it up to speed pretty quick and in a few days. Then it will stop dead as my progress on this swap has.
