Unfortunately listing my supra due to needing to free up some money as got a big water leak on my house and another baby coming so this is at the back of the list. I got the car about 7 months ago from an elderly lady that hadn’t used in it 7+ years, I got the car with the intentions of doing it as a restoration project over a long period of time. the car is a 1993 with just over 100,000 miles on it, it’s a full car with everything there. As far as I’m aware there is no rot holes anywhere I’ve seen, a bit of surface rust underneath but nothing that needs welding. The paintwork isn’t great but I’m sure if you’re looking to purchase you wouldn’t keep this colour anyway. When I got the car I put a battery pack on it to see if the motor would turn over and it does but I never tried more than once as fuel would have gone stale from sitting so long and the cam belt needs to be changed to be safe. I was going to do a major service before I even tried to start it properly. as you can see it’s a project that does require a lot of work but with the right person it’s perfect. so as follows: 1993 toyota supra jza80 originally silver n/a auto transmission targa top 100,000 miles im from guernsey in the Channel Islands so I believe VAT would need to be paid upon delivery to England, I have logbook in my hands, it was an old English car and wasn’t ever shown as damaged. delivery can be arranged to anywhere in the U.K. at buyers expense or to Poole if you’d like to personally collect from there. price wise it’s hard as I haven’t seen many projects for a while but saw one before Xmas same spec same condition but rusty underneath and with no motor at £13,000 so I’m going to start there but I am open to genuine offers will be gutted to see it go after trying to get it for so long but my family come first If you’re interested my numbers 07839-740067

Hi guys sorry I couldn’t reply as it wouldn’t let me on here for some reason had a chance to take the interior out to dry the carpet, happy to see it couldn’t be getting wet for long as underneath is solid only place I could see any wet was bottom of the drivers door so might be coming in there. the tubes going down the pillars seem to be working okay and I absolutely soaked the car with the hose from the outside but finding it hard to track it properly so left it uncovered and waiting for some rain to see if it gets wet again. Boot window glass is loose is this supposed to be bonded in or is it on a tight seal?

You’re a star Thankyou so much mate, it’s under a cover now but I’ll have a look Around these places this weekend and post here my findings

Cheers buddy, paid £1000 for the car in the end and have done a serious amount of work at the lady’s house to help her out and will continue to help/upkeep her house for her, she’s a lovely lady and wanted it to go to a good home and be appreciated, not sold to someone to resell for profit, it’s not going anywhere anytime soon now I’ve got my dream car and have some nice plans

The wheels came off instantly mate they were horrendous awesome I’ll look into getting some asap, I am currently fighting my way through trying to get to the bottom of a leak which is now making the carpets wet. (Was dry as a bone until I washed the car and got all the moss out of seals ect) and the car was always outside not under a cover. looking forward to start the process of making it what I’d like it to be

Hi guys I have now purchased and recovered the car, gave it a good wash and had a look over, everything I have currently seen hasn’t phased me in the slightest as this isn’t my first Japanese car. Me and my partner have Had s14 kouki, civic ek4 vti, civic ek9 type r, integra dc2 jdm spec, Honda Accord and currently have 2 Mitsubishi evo 9 gt wagons in manual and a Mitsubishi evo 5 gsr that we race. I will attach some more photos but I am absolutely desperate for some standard jza80 door hinges upper and bottom for both drivers side and passenger so if anyone has any I’d love to purchase them

Hi that’s awesome, did you have a supra when you lived in guernsey? I had a good look around it today and in all honesty it isn’t horrendous from what I looked at, luckily it’s in brick paved drive. I do have a question to anyone on here, the brakes are seized solid so I’m looking to get new front and rear disks and pads, gonna rebuild the calipers but that’s sorted. What size front and rear disks will fit as I’ve heard the TT supras have bigger brakes
-
Awesome I’m glad to hear, okay perfect when I next go to see the car I will check in these places to have a proper look, fingers crossed it’s not to bad, I’m not expecting it to be perfect by all means but the less rust I find the better chances . cheers for the help

Hi there, I thought it at first but it’s actually parked on a brick paved part of the house it’s the weeds that have grown around, I had a little look underneath but without jacking up and properly inspecting I couldn’t see to much but looking behind the skirts is a good shout, if the cills are gone is it something I can buy replacement cills still from factory or are they discontinued. Also the door is open still as it has up and over door hinges (Lamborghini style) would under £5000 be a steal of a price? and that’s amazing to hear that these engines are basically bulletproof considering. It does crank over and isn’t fully seized as that’s the first thing I tried

Hi Guys firstly I’m Nick and I live in guernsey in the Channel Islands. Currently looking at purchasing this aerotop naturally aspirated automatic supra. it has been sat in this place for the last 8/9 years, It’s taken me years to persuade the lovely owner to sell (she has two of them the others a TT auto in black) now I have had a little look around and there is the obvious rust in places seeing as it’s not moved or been cleaned. where on these cars is the best place to look as I’m completely new to supras and want to know before I buy if it is actually feesable to purchase if I look in the right places. I absolutely love supras and have done since I was a child. This isn’t my ideal spec but it’s what I can afford at the moment and what’s available locally (there’s 4 in the islands) It will be a long restoration project so will also be looking for oem and aftermarket parts. looking to manual convert it and done a little research but any information at all into what I can use and where to look is very muchly appreciated. will be getting a full respray top to toe (original colour is 199/ believe to be 583 in the colour made) id love to purchase and install a 2jz-GTE in the future aswell but again need to research and see what’s fully needed for the swap. but first I will need to ease the brakes, do a full major service or all fluids and belts and see if the thing will fire up as currently it doesn’t. She said they tried to start it a couple months ago but it’s pretty obvious that the fuel will be stale as anything and injectors will probably have crap in them now. and lastly I’m not in the current market so what would any of you say the ideal price for a supra in a moderate condition he worth as I’m clueless to this one. cheers for your time and I’m sure I’ll be sticking around. regards nicholas
