At first greetings from Europe, Lithuania, new member here.
It's a black 1987 Supra mk3 N/A 5speed targa.
About the car when i bought it: BHG, overall body is in good shape, no rusts, looks like it was repainted, 287 000km on odometer, had factory LSD, KYB Shocks, and came factory with no A/C.
Bad things: There was LPG gas kit installed:yikes:! Bad carry of engine by previous owner,- looks like long time BHG was ignored, there was huge oil leaks all around the block, HG was damaged hardly in at least 3 places and radiator also need to be changed. Interior- all dirty, with a custom speaker holes cutted just right in door panel. Unclean exterior refinish,- a alot mouldings where installed by help of screws :: angry ::
Plans: This is my first Supra and would stay with 7mge, fix BHG using TSRM to gain experience and knowledge about how to do things right and then go for powerfull and reliable 7mgte swap. So i will stick with cheaper HG, Bolts, and other stuff to save money for future. For exterior,- i will try to get clean factory look. Interior,- clean everything up, replace broken parts.
This topic is worthless without pics: :icon_bigg
Bad things:
LPG kit removed. This huge GAS cylinder was in trunk.
Head work begins:
They had to weld no. 4 combustion chamber, because there was a big crack.
I lose somewhere 6 injector insulators, so have to wait for weaks till the dealer will ship them from US.
Also some misc. job done:
Repainted head covers.

after:
Door panels change:
