How much would a donor cost there? Here - supra's in bad condition (and unfortunately, there are a lot of them) are anywhere from £200 to £400 depending on age
yo theres a bunch of mark 3's in the junkyard here. i can go on thurday to see what they have left, pm me for a list of what you neeed and ill ask them how much for each piece (assuming its in good condition) but theres 3 of them anyway so it looks good. shipping will be expensive so i can always be like your last resort if yud like. supra brothers for life.
oh and just to make a joke of the situation, i don't want to trade my car for yours right now. hah jokes bro. seriously though pm me

I may be getting a 87 parts car for my manual swap and motor build, maybe I can cut you a offer you can't refuse for body parts/a shell to build on?
hahaha. thats about the first joke about it that didnt make me mad to hear/read it. thanks. shitty part is i almost made it a targa today. concrete walls do a good job at grinding things apart.CryoSlash said:yo theres a bunch of mark 3's in the junkyard here. i can go on thurday to see what they have left, pm me for a list of what you neeed and ill ask them how much for each piece (assuming its in good condition) but theres 3 of them anyway so it looks good. shipping will be expensive so i can always be like your last resort if yud like. supra brothers for life.

adjuster is soooo right once again, when I was a kid I had a choice and very rare Rustang, some lady pulled in front of me and totalled it, all I got was a measly settlement and the car back, I banged my knee of the dash but didn't go to hospital or anything but I sure should've! I didn't know at the time that the insurance was gonna screw me so bad on the car.
btw, if you haven't gone yet you need to understand the headache and backache ;( you are now experiencing IS from the wreck and go now! it's not too late

Tell you guys a funny story.
A few years ago, I used to be out in the field, looking at wrecked cars and people all the time, so I had a camera in my vehicle always.
So, I'm going down this long hill into a wide valley just about 5 miles from town.
I passed these two semi trucks at about 80mph (it's posted 65 here...) and it appears I pissed off the lead truck since I got around him just as the road goes from two lanes down to one lane across the valley.
So, I'm cruising at 80mph or so to keep infront of this butt nugget who starts to tail gate me...
I come up on this lady in a minivan who's going 64.9mph or less, so I have to slow down as there is other traffic and I can't pass. Besides, I drive this road quite a bit, and there is a intersection coming up ahead, and it's not safe to pass here anyway.
Shit head in the Kenworth is RIGHT on my bumper. Like I can see the bugs in his grille, and I'm slowly backing off the lady in the van since she's slowing down too. (Ok, so the van driver and the truckers are both dumbshits but that's the situation I'm in at the moment.) I think she can see the trucks on my ass, and she's freaking out.
We come up to the intersection, and the road widens out so there are left turn lanes in both directions. By this time, I've pulled my camera out, and started to take pics of the grille of the truck on my ass. I just put the camera on the passenger seat, it's still on, and lens cap off...
So, what do the truckers do? THEY PULL OUT, Into the turn lanes, through a highway interseciton, with ONCOMING traffic and pass me and the lady in the minivan. So I grab the camera, avoid running into the back end of the lady as she nails the brakes and skidds off the road onto the shoulder and take some photos of both trucks passing me/her through the center turn lanes and manage to get one with traffic 3 wide. Me/her, the trucks, and a very wide eyed oncoming car...
So, now I'm pissed, and call 911 on the cell phone. They give me the run around, and we pull into the first town. We drive right by a sheriff who does nothing because the trucks now are just speeding, but not running anyone else off the road. I'm on the 911 call hands free the whole time following the trucks...
So, we leave town, and they kick it back up to 80+, I'm still on the phone.
I get another photo of the trucks passing a school bus full of kids in a double yellow area of rolling hills where you can't see what's coming ahead of you... I have to wait and pass the bus when it's leagal, so the trucks get away, but I quickly catch up... LOL On the phone the whole time, giving the 911 operator the play by play. (She's furious with the school bus pass, and she know's the road where they did it, so know's how unsafe it was.)
So, now we are about 30 miles into the next two small towns, before we get to the last larger town before there is nothing for awhile more. (remote area.)
I've got an appointment to keep, and can't keep chasing these guys all day, so the Highway Patrol finally pulled them over before the larger town...
Short story is the truck drivers are blaming me for everything, and say they will charge me with speeding if I press them on the illegal passing and tailgating... till I pull out the laptop, put in the photos and show them to the cops and the asshat truckers... LOL The cops just turned to me, said "can I get a copy of that" and then turned to the truckers and said "get your log books, you boys are going to jail..."
Dang funny, and it was worth the extra time that day to chase down those assholes. I've wished I had a camera in my vehicle all the time since. (Might not be a bad idea in cases like this, and how easy would it be with the low cost of cameras, and computers that could save it all to a simple hard drive in a used, cheaper laptop?) I've thought about it as security too, for door dings and parking lot encounters where people do nasty shit to you car while your not around.

so, we called the local news and they are getting a reporter my info and im awaiting the call back from them. we also called the trucking company (werner enterprises) and told them what happened and that we were going to the media to find the driver. all i can say is the dude on the phone sounded like he just had is asshole tied shut with a load of razor wire and put in a room fulll of chairs. so, im fixin to be busier than a one legged man in an ass kickin contest to get the gdmf'er that got me.

FRY EM!!!! Boo Yeah!
Hope you catch em, and the news media get's involved and they are up to their eyeballs in bad PR over this one.
I'm going to look into cameras for my car the more I think of it. (Would only need photos taken every 2 seconds or so to keep a good reccord of what's going on, and it could write over the hard drive in a loop, so you have a few hours or more of reccord before it's overwritten.
Can you imagine nailing the SUV that door dinged you, or the careless lady with the shopping cart that runs it into your car while loading groceries?
Ultimate security with a photo reccord.

Well the semi driver should have stopped... Being a truck driver myself, I may be biased. Come ride with me one day and see what it takes to drive a semi, and see how many times in one day I have to avoid an accident because of some dumbshit driving like an ass. Nothing personal, but come on, trucks can't stop, if you pull in front of a semi going down a hill at 75mph and slow down do you really think that truck has a chance to slow down!! Give me a fucking break. Truck drivers fault legally, yes for going to fast, cause of the accident the guy in the car. Don't take away a trucks safety buffer, 7 car lengths fine for a car not an 80,000lb truck going down hill in the rain. Think about it...:3d_frown:
Sorry about your car, that sux and since the driver didn't stop do everything you can to recover your loss. Any witnesses outside of your vehicle?
