Mace Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) I bought a uk supra last year just as a track car its no minter on the body but its mechanically sound I rebuilt the engine (not the block) with all new toyota seals etc as it was a single turbo i converted back to twin (came with no turbo). I'm happy with the engine ticking over nicely but I think I want to take it out of this shell as another uk shell is available in very nice shape but its completely bare. Any advice on this? common problems when rebuilding a supra that has been stripped? subframe alignment, difficult wiring, bolts snapping that sort of thing? i'm fine taking the engine and gearbox out it wont be the first time for that, but never rebuilt a supra from nothing at all.. any advice/experience appreciated..
