I have been offered a trade on a Supra and for now it is sort of tempting but then again not. Give some opinions and input that I may not be looking at.
I have a 87 automatic N/A and targa top. The body on mine I rate as fair becasue it needs the front nose brace and paint. No rust anywhere that I have found and it has a body kit already installed. I just recently added a 89+ 3 pc wing. The interior is in very good condition. Minor cracks around defroster vents and a few on driver door panel is all that is worth mentioning. Mechanically is in very good condition. No leaks and doesnt burn any fluids from anywhere. 120-130 PSI compression across all 6. Worst cylinder only showed 8% leak-down when tested.
I have been offered a 87 turbo automatic hardtop for trade. Exterior needs help. Rattle can black paint. Needs driver fender and door with hinges. Needs rear bumper. Will need all new mouldings as these were painted black as well. Interior is fair but needs help. Center console is trash. Both door panels have been cut for speakers below factory location. Cell phone was mounted to dash pad beside CC. The engine is one of those JDM "low mileage" drop ins we all see on ebay. The really bad part is the engine harness is pure spaghetti at this time.The harness that routes behind the timing cover across the valve covers, now takes up the space from the 3000 pipe to the fan,I saw at least 4 wires that were burned together. Some were cut and dangling. Others just scared me, really.
With my desire to go turbo (I already have a turbo engine and CT-26) and still needing lots of parts, this seems to be a fair deal on the surface. Its just some of the smaller, repairable details I am stumbling over.
