Bayden_uk Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 hi all. i always wanted a supra since i was 12. now hit 30 an i.m looking to buy. i was going to buy one road worthy and yeah that would be all nice but i'm now looking at doing a project. a complete rebuild where i can strip her down and give her a complete respray and rebuild her back up. i think i would feel a lot more proud if i was to rebuild my dream car .... and that's what i found for £300. its a MKIV. shes had an electrical problem an had an electrical fire in the front end drivers side. all panels are fine, engines fine, just needs a new loom and interior which someone has give a very good price on the lot. just wondering if any of you supra fans have done any complete rebuilds your self? or if not dose anyone have any good links i can look at? thanks in advance. P.S. sorry if i've put the thread in the wrong place guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a 2nd supra you've bought? If you can bring them back to former glory, fair play to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
