well this is the condition in which i picked up this supra. as u can see its nothing flash, however it did contain a few goodies such as the r154 gearbox, which at the price i paid for the car, was good enough reason to buy it.
rather then stripping the parts and getting the shell taken away and crushed, i decided to turn it in to a cheap track car project. since i am on a tight budget, the main emphasis on this car was to try and get it as light as possible.
since alot of work has already been done so far, ill let the pics to the explaining as it woul dtake far to long for me to type up the history of it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as it stands, the spec list is as follows. items which are in bold are temporarily borrowed from my soarer (reason being this car was slapped together in a very short peoriod of time b4 the end of the drag season to get a few passes in and see where i was at,
i want to do a couple more track days while the running gear is still in the supra b4 i put it back in soarer - i know it sounds like alot of time wasting swapping parts over etc but dont have finances to rebuy everything atm).

on another forum, this supra was a project to try and run a 10 for under 5k, however, due to funds and the urge to get out there and drive it, the direction
changed and it is turning into more of a drift car, yet will see the drags when i have a motor powerful enough to run the times i want. the budget is still an important aspect of this
projects so ive been keeping a tally of almost every cent ive spent on it, and all money ive mnade from selling parts off it, sorry its not in the best formatt but u get the idea,
NOTE: all these prices are 100% real, not fudged or made up and ill keep them updated as the supra progresses
