Will be the first contacted if I ever decide to sell. There is a waiting list with 3 people on it now. Going to have to paint it this winter because I tried to buff the targa first and burn through just a little bit so decided to stop and just going to paint it, going to spray the engine bay and the door jambs too. Going to try and replicate the color.
It's in a fellow supra and Griffin's hands again since you sold it. Only thing I don't have is the sunshade and bomex front lip. Going to contact previous owner to see what happened to it.

Awesome, I happy to hear that your going to be keeping the color
as far as I recall the owner that I sold it to in Tucson destroyed the lip and rear sunshade . Are you going to make a thread about it or keep this one with updates?
And its sweet to meet another supra owner with the last name Griffin.

The guy I bough it it from had the sunshade but wanted to keep it for a na supra the was in horrible shape, but he had lost the mounting brackets for it. I will probably end up getting it.
I will keep updating this one. No need for more clutter on the forum, just a move once I get it goin.
Even sweeter that I have the other Griffin's old car. Kinda like it was meant to happen.
Was that a single stage paint job? What kind of paint was used when painted? How in the heck did it fade that bad?

The na supra wasnt in that bad of shape. It needs a new engine and the paint on the hood is peeling pretty badly. Its a hard top though which I want really bad :love:

Just jump into the Kevin M group buy, I also bought the bomex lip from andysautosport.com I believe they still sell them for a good price.
When it was sitting next to this car it was looking pretty bad, in reality it wasn't bad, but had a weird ass wing on it.NewGen;1424126 said:

I am going to get a 3 hole bomex like was one it and paint it to. Going to get a sunshade, its just a matter of time.
The next on the list is ic hardpipes, then a pull engine, lightened flywheel and depending on the clutch a new one, paint and undercoating.
nick88;1424445 said:
oh ya the wing would be the first thing to go. I'm not even sure what i'd get. I'm not even sure what spoiler i'm going to do with the car I have now. Seems like everyone has a whaletail and i'm dont wanna follow a trend especially not in des moines because theres not a ton of us around and if we all have whaletails that would be kinda gay.
Well, I haven't done much work on my car in a while, since it is cold enough to snow I will be going back to work next weekend. So while I had a free weekend I decided to pull the motor out of the supra to paint/clean/replace rack. And onto pics
Matt(Newgen) next to my car and my friend ricky under it
I think this is why it wouldn't run right, it was melted to some of my wiring harness.
That heater is red hot. I should of taken a pic of what it looked like outside.(A couple inches of snow and still snowing)
The quality of the pics are not very good because they where taken from my blackberry.

Well, when we actutally worked on it and didn't stand around and talk/take pics/bullshit with each other, it took about 2 1/2-3 hours. It took a long time to get the wiring harness out of the firewall.
On the other hand, I talked Ricky into buyin that mk2 supra that I was gonna get.
I knew this car had a bomex 3 hole lol but it looks like its in good hands. I would have tried and help you get ahold of the prev owner, but he chimed in and i completely forgot about this thread til tonight.

I am actually thinking of buying a Masterpower t70 from my friend here in town, once he upgrades his. It has a .68a/r exhaust housing which would be perfect range and would not take long to spool, and with my goal of 450hp before I graduate high school.
The relay that was melted was labeled cooling fan and plugged into the harness. Is this for the hydro-fan?

Its not so bad, just a little long and confusing at first.

It did have the lip, but on the bumper all of the holes where you mount a lip are gone. :: angry :: So it must of got ripped off.
And the ass of the car looks good (look at my avatar)

Yeah that is for the hydrofan, those are relatively cheap to but around $12 from a junk yard.
