No bumper brace?

Looks like it's dancing
Ahhh what happened to the suspensions!!!!
Poor sawblade lost its edge...
The telephone pole side
The brick wall side
The front (curb/bushes/plowed down tree side)
Antenna was bent against the brick wall, shows the angle the car was at while going between the wall and the pole. I am damn lucky!

Engine bay after:
At least the part I put the most work and $ into is fine =) I may be able to transfer the interior but if I can get a nice one with the shell it will be for sale.
I'm selling off all the Supra stuff I have to get money for a new shell =\ If you see anything you like on the car just shoot me a PM.
We have a quest to see all the Rambo movies (again, we're young enough that the ones we've seen before are faint memories) and we were on #2.
That's what I am very thankful for, it's amazing that neither of us were hurt. It helps that the drivetrain is fine too, the body itself only cost me $400 and it had tons of problems. Looking at it from a positive perspective, I can put this drivetrain into a better shell and fix a lot of problems by getting a proper body this time.
Yeah, I think I tried too hard not to jerk the wheel back to the left. I've actually tried to practice avoiding cones and keeping myself from breaking the rear wheels loose in a parking lot before and found that it was better just to keep the wheel whatever way it was and let off the gas smoothly. Unfortunately this time it might have been better just to jerk it to the left, I was too close to the side of the road already. I have a feeling I would have lost traction but not crashed since I wasn't going very fast. The darkness/no street lamps didn't help in my judgement of how far away the edge of the pavement was either =(

That's the first thing I noticed too. That looks like a much more severe wreck than mine though, sorry to see it in such twisted shape =( I'm very glad I decided to go with a smaller IC and kept my bumper brace, it definately absorbed the bulk of the impact. I knew there was a plus to having a dinky little IC =)mkIIIman089;990860 said:
hey man sorry to hear this.... my old supra got hit head on by a truck too... there are a few supras here in asheville thers one in the paper its an 87 turbo for 2700 and there are several more around for relatively cheap that i know of... one of my old ones is for sale for like 800 its an 86.5 na 5spd runs but needs a knock sensor rewire... has part of the trim shaved in and is primer... i have a few pics... the car is in decent shape though. you could always sell the engine and get most of what you paid for it back.. i would be willing to take you to where it is if you want i dont have the guys number anymore.. lmk try looking at iwanna.com theres a few around...good luck
I'm trying to get a turbo shell that has/matches wiring because of the nightmare I had with this shell, otherwise I'd take a look at the 86.5. The 87 is a bit high for me =\ I'll check out the website, thanks for the link and notices! After seeing these wrecks I expect the Supra wasn't as bad off as it should have been even after being hit by a truck =) They really are pretty strong, until you take out the bumper reinforcements of course.
The wreck caused the cam cover to appear :sarcasm:
Sorry you wrecked the Supra. Good luck with whatever you decide to do with it.
