edviss Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Hi Guys, I assume most of you have seen this supra on ebay, which is for sale for the last couple of months. I was wondering maybe it is worth giving him a reasonable offer and trying to restore it? I hate that body kit and etc, It needs to go back to OEM+ It is a 2jz-gte auto Maybe someone went to look at it and have more info on it?

Dnk Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Why buy one thats going need lots of work to get it back to stock ? Is it on the register ? Insurance write off ? You got a link to the ebay advert ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommyd16 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I wouldn’t bother. Looks a lot more work than at first glannce. Especially with the rust on the rear missing quarter. And all the gaffer tape tape there. God knows what’s under the rest of the kit. And it looks like the battery caught fire in the crash or just leaked very badly. Get it for £3k and take the engine out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edviss Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Sorry dont have a link no more as it ran out, just saved the pics and his contacts. He wants around 7.5-8k for it, I have a unit and i do all the work by myself, so i thought maybe its worth saving if the shell is not rust bucket. The only reason i am looking at it is becouse 2jz-gte are going for like 12k+ these days, and i am thinking i can get this saved for much less than that by doing all the work myself.

Scooter Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Way way too much money and work when you could have picked this car up last week? (stock silver TT auto £10,750) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/toyota-supra/273169081908?hash=item3f9a256634:g:8Q4AAOSw8zday~bO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can do the work yourself then that will keep the cost down. If you do get it take plenty of pictures of the restoration. Can't believe people are being so negative. These car's are becoming few and far between now. [emoji106] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Can't believe people are being so negative. These car's are becoming few and far between now. [emoji106] £7.5K is why I'm being negative, it needs 2 rear quarters, front wings, headlights, side skirts/side trims, all hockey sticks, front bumper, rear bumper, wheels unless you can reverse the inners of the split rims? At the very least a partial respray. Loads of these parts are hard to source second hand or costly new and that's before you even start to look at any normal issues or damage you can't see. If you own a bodyshop then perhaps otherwise I'd say negativity was warranted in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squiffy Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 That looks like it's in a sorry state and I'd never pay anywhere near the money he wants for it. I get where you're coming from but imo youre far better off waiting on something else to come up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Wouldn't be worth the cost IMHO. That inner side on the missing quarter looks like a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 If the engine, the running gear (6sp and diff) and interior can be recycled it'd probably be a £8k scrapper (not a great deal more as none of the bodywork is worth a fig) so asking £7.5k means the seller is dreaming or very hopeful. Looks like it was a ragged track car that left the track in an out of control fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I'd only offer 4-5k for that really. Engine and box might be worth 3k/4k, and shell is so mangled that its not really worth a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
