So pleased to see this coming back, I had the wheels off Joe a couple of years ago and it was stood in the same place, a legend of a Supra and one I hope to see tearing up the tarmac very soon

 

Also keen to hear about all the "issues" left by the TF work, not to drag TF through the mill again but I was always curious what was actually required to get it mint again as I know Joe had given up on it, I was very close to making Joe an offer when I picked up the wheels !

The good thing is all they did was a reshell, we are hoping not much could have gone wrong as its not that hard tbh, everything will be checked though.

 

It seems to go into gear fine now and we are hoping the issue they had with the clutch is a simple adjustment of the peddle box.

 

Main things to be done off the top of my head are:-

 

Overhaul brakes as its been stood for so long

Change all fluids/filters/belts/plugs

Compression test

Check all the wireing and remove the motec harness

Re polish all alloy engine dress parts/cam covers/greddy intake etc.

Fit new windscreen

Fit new aerial

New ecu and map

Give to stonkin for a full detail

It will be worth a few quid when fixed up, I imagine you will perhaps "over invest" in the restoration however to turn a decent profit :D
