Thanks guys, going to be on the look out for some bits once some of the expensive parts of the white supra sells, I'm pulling the engine over winter and taking the engine to bits, the VSS needs doing so I'm going to give her a full engine rebuild, new oil pump, bearings seals etc, depending on what the machine shop says about the block it'll get new piston rings, if not new pistons etc, turbos will get overhauled then I'll go BPU with her, see if I can't get another 209k out of the old girl :)

 

Also keeping the subframes from my car and having them sandblasted and powder coated with new bushes etc, then a full respray!

 

May opt for a hybrid gearbox also depending on what the inspection comes back like when the engines out!

 

Plan is to get it back to it's former glory, then run it BPU for a while with the eventual plan of going single!

 

I think this car has fully restored my love for supra's, I've not had the feeling of wanting to go for a drive as much as I do with the uk for years!

£1200 eh bargain but what Rob failed to tell you was that he had to be the star of Anal busters 5 to get it for that money :D

 

Every comment like that makes my erection that little bit stronger! ;)

After seeing these photo's I am back on the non supportive side again.

 

I must concede it looks a bargain even more so, The carbon fibre interior looks great.

 

I'll really wind you up and tell you how much my insurance is now! £265 a year! Done from £388 for the NA! :D

 

25 years old, 3 years NCB :D

Mine went down to £553 which was from £900, Not too bad considering I have only had a license about 18months.

 

You're still a massive helmet though ;)
