Hello All,

I've been a regular member for several years but I rarely post since I am not very knowledgeable. I've had my Supra since 2001 but it has been sitting in the garage for the past 7-8 years due to a BHG which lead me to start a complete restoration. It is far being complete but thought it would be nice to share some pictures.

Tom

More pictures of the engine...the turbo has been upgraded and most of the parts have been sandblasted and either anodized, powder-coated or zinc-plated...

If everything goes as planned I should be done in 3-4 months more. I just need to get the intake manifold back from powder coating (also wrinkled but black). My plan is to have all the engine black contrasting against the white paint with the exception of the valve covers. I am also waiting for the clutch and a few odd pieces.

I will keep you guys posted...

Tom

Love the build.

Just curious tho. Doesn't look like you out much silicOne for the oil pan. Also usually you want to put it on the pan first because of the low spots. Just my two cents.

How much power you looking for?

Any plans for suspension?
