Tee from China Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Just a though to those in the 'know', how much for the front panel and inner wing? MrT or are there other places cheaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 You would be lucky to give that away, sell the engine for a few hundred and scrap the chassis A rolling supra chassis can be had for around 500quid max, theres a ding on every panel there, it would cost more than that to fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 the interior has been striped aswell Like this? http://www.1st-harrison.com/shop2/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=129 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee from China Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 OK has dings but surely too good to scrap? Was thinking about a TS,Abflug or VS project and most of those would be hidden and just the problem of the front end. And a stripped interior is not too much of a problem either if a re-trim is on the cards. So blue-luck, how much really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 OK has dings but surely too good to scrap? LMAO, you must really love supras - or your a panel beater by trade, if you want to spend your hard earned on one of the above projects on a chassis that I gather is deemed a cat C(Read again it is in fact a Cat D), then go ahead - the labour whether its your time or someone elses far outweighs the benefit (even if it was for free - he'd be mad to give it away when its gotta be worth 200quid scrap value plus the engine) There is a Cat D going for around 2g on here, and its finished with tax and mot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue-luck Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 i'll take an offer on it, i just want it gone.... bearing in mind, engine is good, all glass including windscreen, and all wishbones and stuff still on car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would cost too much to repair, and shell's are cheap enough to find, hell a complete NA isn't that expensive any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I spend 2000 on one that is finished which is still a Cat D when I could start with a 'blank canvas' so to speak for a lot less and can see what needs to be done? how would I know how good the work was on that finished 2K one? and probably have just as many problems (or new ones)fitting whichever kit I decided on as well! Not only that as I would be using new or different parts anyway having a complete car that needs to be stripped again and having parts not needed in the way or having to be sold etc this way would be better as most of the parts not needed have already been removed! I've seen much worse ones than this repaired satisfactorily and depends on what your aiming for, OK if I just wanted a standard looking Supra then yes this would be a no go but as I want something a little 'different' this would be the better option for me. So I could buy a complete straight NA instead, but it would always be a modified NA what ever I did to it and this is a genuine TT that is a Cat D(which is the category with the least problems to insurance companies) Horses-for-courses and each to their own and so on..........
