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

They had to weld no. 4 combustion chamber, because there was a big crack.

nice car I just did my na to turbo swap last week having a freshly rebuilt motor is so nice way better then my 194k na. You going to to a gte swap?
As i said,- 7mge rebuild for now, to get experience and then: 7mgte, 1jz, 2jz, swap - whatever i could get for a good offer, cos these engines are extremely rare in my country :)

I always loved the ass from European supras...
Yeah.. but i would love to swap it into badass 89+ usdm supra back with 3piece tail lights and spoiler..


So, the head is finally on! with OEM head gasket and OEM head bolts torqued down to 95 Nm, hope this would be enough for a stock 7mge.
