This is my 1988 supra. next Friday i am ordering a 7mge to replace the shot engine in it. Sorry for the sorry pictures, my first time using a camera like the one i used so i didn't really understand how to do stuff (lots of buttons and stuff, and i was on my way to work when i took these)

little more info on the car. it was sitting for about 10 years before i got it. the body is in great shape, paint is faded though. the interior is ok, no rips or anything, but its pretty dirty inside.

I'll post more pics once i get it running. it's at a friends garage right now, so i havent been able to clean it up any. but thats the first thing on my list once i can drive it.

quick question is it worth it to go NA-t or should i just replace the ge engine with the gte. of course this won't be happening for a good bit, i want to get the car back to a state to where it looks and drives like it is fresh off a Toyota lot before i start moding it.

Yes, those are factory graphics. and also my friends father is a certified master mechanic, and has been restoring and moding cars since before either of us was born.

anyway, we put it on a lift and tried to manually turn the engine over(because turning the key did jack squat); no go. looks like the guy i got it from was joy riding and seized up the engine(this guy was about 30 around the time this happened) and after it broke he just had it towed to his house and never repaired it.
