restomod > restoration

Lot of places that can be improved on our cars and make it MORE reliable. Never seen any full pictures of jetjock's car, but he seems to have done all the reliability mods to his (he bought his new as well)

Man back when they came out the MK3 was a pretty high class car to be rolling around in, not many people appreciate them too much anymore, at least in this redneck hell I live lol.

The restoration threads are why I first started looking at this website, no joke.

I spent hours in pure awe of what some of the members have accomplished. If I can ever make enough money and have the time to do a full restoration I will consider one of my life dreams and goals complete.

A70 for life. :)

My uncle bought one brand new of the showroom floor in 86. It was for his wife and she wanted something sporty to cruise in, not long after realised there was no room to cart teenage kids around in the back and it sat in his garage until last year when i and my mum went to pick it up.

People always talk about how an all original like new supra is so cool...but then they drive it for a little while and realize they get bored with it very fast...
