Manual Gearbox* as the LSD was from a NA auto

Yeah I was shown the pictures before hand.. Was such a good looking car, but I'm determined to sort it. Hopefully the small case diff works with a V161 propshaft and the V160 gearbox as I was told it would. Just hope being a manual car won't make a difference??

Yeah 6 speed gear boxes go from anything from £3500+ but It has to be that one. Yeah I know massive job but will be equally as fun and rewarding in the end! I can count on you guys for help anyway haha

Yeah I know what I'm getting myself in to.. And thankyou for the heads up on the car and damages. Oh right he quoted me around £50 for a bonnet so prices must fluctuate often. So the LSD is useless if going TT 6 speed?

After looking over those pictures, I still would be getting the shell with limited slip diff for a bargain. So I'm still going to go ahead and purchase it.

Oh.. Pm'D you

Ouch. Looks a pretty straight car apart from that little dent in the panel!

Was it actually haha?

Thanks man! Can't wait to just get started.. Hoping to get it delivered on Friday so I can start a project thread.

And also comes with a limited slip diff also

Haha well either way I want a white one. The only problem with it is that corner.. If I pull it out and it's not straight I can buy the new part for £110 and get it welded on. Then I'll have a perfect shell. Just minus the doors. But as a project rolling shell I think it's perfect.. I have seen some people selling shells for £5000, granted they have the full body kit and all interior but I think I have a bargain considering the shells are only selling for more and more money. Makes sense getting this car as I want a white supra, with the damage that would cost me £110 if it comes to it for the new part, so I'm not fussed.

That's what it is haha

Nope it's not a right off at all. All documents and hpi clear also. Sub frame is in perfect condition not twisted.. Just that panel on the corner.

I'm going to be buying the shell and basically all of my parts from a breakers in Leicester that just does supras.. So I can get the bonnet for say £50 and the doors also wouldn't be that much.. I can get the new panel for the front for £110 from the breakers and its brand new. So either way I would be saving money.. And the fact I want a white supra as they are rarer. So makes sense to keep it and I want it as a full on project and have to do every little bit and the rolling shell cost me £750 with a limited slip diff.

The only damage on this car is at the front end, taken a knock on the corner which has bent the top part of the frame... But luckily the subframe is all perfect. I'm thinking of getting it pulled out and aligned and see if it's salvageable or to just buy the new frame new and get it welded on. Any suggestions??

Yeah it will be a fun build indeed! Ermm nope it has a small bit of front damage as the front slam plate is bent, but that's easy to get hold of. As for the subframe that's all in perfect condition just the slam plate. I have already budgeted for all of the parts just look forward to getting started!
