So I just bought a 1990 Supra this past Friday. I can truly say my first dream has come true haha. I have been a supra-enthusiast for some time now.

The car has about 158000 miles on it. The interior is pretty cherry, doesn't look like a soul has touched it. It's black, targa top, turbo charged, and manual. I got a smokin deal on it for under $2500. Runs like a beast.This is my first forced induced vehicle so it's been pretty wild this weekend.

My goal for this car is to refubish the hell out of it (in due time). Make the interior all leather, black, maybe a little suade. I'm really big on blackin stuff out, so the car is going to be crazy dark. I want to have that factory, fresh-out-the-box look but throwing down some good numbers. Gonna try and shoot for 300hp to start with, and then up it.

If anyone here has some good ideas for this project I'd love to hear them. Thanks! :biglaugh:

Alright so I was finally able to get around and load up those pics. The car needs a little work, this weekend I'm gonna do all my basic maintenance - oil flush, coolant flush, blah blah blah

I've been considering purchasing one of those MAFT's as one of my first mods.

idk how bad the paint is from the pictures, but is that a bad clear coat peel or heavy oxyidization??
You still might be able to clean it up a bit with a good polishing/rubbing compound and buffer..
either way looks to be a great deal for the price and good luck..

Yeah, the paint job is horrible lol. I need to replace all of weather stripping. I have a crater on my driver's side, and I think I need a new hinge for my door. I should be able to hammer and get all the dents out myself; afterwards I'll be savin some money to get a glossy black finish.

Luckily there are no signs of rust anywhere on or under the body
