Update:
Well long story short my boss backed into my car so we have a body shop guy in one of our bays at work and he fixed all of my exterior rust and dents for free!
I didn't want to put anymore money into the supra for a while but I can get the car painted cheap so in the next 2 weeks it will be Copper Red 32v (Newer Miata color)
Will post pictures with the finished outcome (The car will not have the Work rims back on till after winter though)

Update:
Decided to travel around Europe for a month and a half this summmer so all of my funds will be going to the trip and not the Supra. Already booked the apartment in Firenze!! Once I return the Supra will finally be back together....hopefully. I Also bought a 91 honda accord for $200... thank god my Supra is automatic I really don't like stick shift.

Weather is finally getting really nice in Philly I am almost done sanding the entire car for paint this spring or summer depending on funds. I have an estimated hour of sanding left! Really want the car finished before I go away so we will see what happens
Next week my inspection is due so I will be doing the following before I go away:
-Fix the leaking valve cover
- New Plug wires
- Water pump and maybe a new timing belt ( don't remember if it was changed)
- Oil change
-Coolant flush and adding Toyota red coolant
- Upgrade the A/C fitting
- New alternator and belt
- Cut the rotors and hopefully paint the rotors and calipers black
- Change the transmission fluid
After that the supra will be running in tip top shape and will finally be ready for some paint!

Big update:
I have been back from living abroad for a month, if anyone shows any interest for pictures I will post some. We basically traveled throughout all of Italy, it was a trip of a life time and I am now hooked on traveling!
Car is getting painted in 3-4 weeks because the shop is swamped right now
I am going with the stock color because I am getting a BIG discount
Just ordered a S2 air guide
Can't wait for my car to be finished!

Any updates on those dash mats??
Just came back from work, spent most of my time sanding areas of the car i missed. Two more weeks till the Supra gets painted and I will be double checking/power washing the car a day before it goes into the booth. Can't wait to see it painted!

Car is at the body shop and should be finished next week
I have been polishing and cleaning every piece I can get my hands on
There is a car show in Dublin PA on 9/11 that I would love to attend... it will be up to me to put everything back together in time!
