You ever want to get rid of the recaro interior let me know. I had a complete set in my 91 including the door cards and loved it. Now you are making me miss my favorite car. Very nice.

If I ever decide to sell them i'll let you know 1st :). I couldnt believe how much lighter they were.

The GS in that picture is actually a 70 gs state 1. My dads a huge buick fanatic. He has a 67 buick gs 400 4 speed manual, a 69 gs 400 4 speed car (Has a 455 in it dressed up as a 400 and actually has a 5 speed in it now) which is still in restoration. He has two 1970 buick GS 455 stage 1's. One of them is a fully restored concourse car the other is just his fun car has cam intake headers. He also has a 1990 toyota supra 7mgte white package extremely clean.

Well Guys and Gals I have some good news.

I was unable to start working on the supra until my v8 FC RX7 was completed. Well I worked a deal for another MK III supra for the rx7. The supra unfortunately needs alot of work :(. My budget wont allow me to restore the car and complete this one so that car will be parted out. If you need anything please let me know.

Here are some pics of what i've gotten so far. Please pm me with any inquires to not clog up my build thread.

Quick update:

Engine and transmission came out today. Someone was interested in the trans and I need to jerk everything out to fix some minor things anyways.

Thanks man,

I just picked up another car that i'm parting out. It has a whale tail on it. Trying to figure out if I should go a different route and stay wingless or put the whale tail on it and give the people what they want :biglaugh: .

Well I have a few updates.

My th350 adapter showed up from atfspeed.com! Really happy with the quality of their work! Decided to go ahead and bolt both the engine to work on fitment and fabrication of the trans crossmember.
