ste-dub Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) hi folks tried doing a project thread but it wont allow me. I had a very detailed post typed out but laptop froze and lost it all so not going typing it all again lol. Here is bare bones of it.... Im a truck driver and on a delivery i was doing 3 weeks ago stumbled across this car which sat in this spot for 11 years untouched. I got talking to the owner and having found out some of th story behind the car and how much he'd accept , we shook hands on it and the car was now mine. Im totally new to supras as im a skyline owner also but knew this car had potential.. Details are 1993 toyota supra sz w58 5 speed manual 100% stock bar headunit 115k kms 1A1 anthracite in colour plans are subtle front lip lower suspension a bit on springs most likely source oem floor mats change oem 16s for oem 17s fit some spacers all round ive only driven the car onto recovery truck. It started first turn of the key when i connected a booster pack. Before i use it as a sunny weekend car i need to give it the full once over, including changing timing belt and tenioner, plugs and fluid change, new tyres and a 3 stage machine polish the car has no damage or rust but paint is very flat and lifeless, ill do full windows out respray in the winter but just want it presestable for the summer. Ive attached pics showing the resuts on a test panel the detailer did looking forward to members thoughts https://imgur.com/a/6Q2Dchttps://imgur.com/a/6Q2Dc Edited February 11, 2018 by ste-dub (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam27 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Looks to be a great car for a project, congrats. 1A1 is a really desirable colour! Engine bay cleaned up very well, good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolizma Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 This looks to be in great shape for a car that didn't move for 11 years. Good find! Would also be interested to read what you think of the supra compared to the skyline. What skyline do you have by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I'd love to comment, but you've put your images on PhotoFuckit which has done the usual thing and now I can't see any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I'd love to comment, but you've put your images on PhotoFuckit which has done the usual thing and now I can't see any of them. I posted up a fix for that a while ago, well it works for me http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?345480-Photobucket-fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that requires me to install a plugin or use a specific browser is just awful. I presume it's to circumvent some kind of hot linking so that PhotoBucket can still make their ad revenue without spending all their money on bandwidth? I won't install Flash either, it's mostly only used for user tracking anyway nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 If you want to have a build thread for the car to record all progress you need to upload all images directly to the forum. This will help - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?247543-How-to-Attach-images-to-a-post-thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Mate, honestly that is a GREAT find. Lovely colour and please put a thread together of the work you do to it. So nice to see a rare Supra being found and brought back to life. Love the fact it started up straight away, N/A may not be desirable or exotic but Toyota certainly made an engine that is so dependable and strong, way ahead of it's years it's great. Well done, keep us up to date on what you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 tried it. Still giving me thumbnails That has worked fine, click on it and it expands as it should. No chance of a Photofukit disaster like many threads with dead photos as it has uploaded to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
