abs Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Hi all, New member here.....I'm a little late to the party but I'm going to view/buy a UK spec TT Manual, 110k mileage. Wish me luck Edited September 19, 2022 by abs (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 If you are completely green it would be advisable to ask someone who isn't to go with you. Someone who can spot any mods and deletions that haven't been detailed in any ad. Best place to start is with a VIN check on the Supra registry.

Tyson Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 @abs If you have the vin or registration number drop me a PM and I can check to see if I have any background history on the UK Spec Register Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 post it as a message here, as a new member you are under post moderation so I have to approve it before it becomes visible. I can delete it and send you a pm afterwards, I'll look at why it's not working as you should be able to send moderators a pm but no one else until you're a member.

tayr Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Check the rear wing/wheel arch area as something not quite right there. Can’t remember which side. Also rust bubbles on sill iirc. as with anything just check it all over yourself and what work you are happy to do to save some £ Edited September 19, 2022 by tayr (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abs Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 @tayr did you go to view it also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayr Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Just now, abs said: @tayr did you go to view it also? Someone I know did. Was a nice car on the whole but a few things weren’t quite right with the bodywork so they chose to walk away. That’s not to say it’s not right for you. It’s just they didn’t want the hassle of sorting extra bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abs Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Fair enough, thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 ive been asking for underside pics for a while but he's never come back to me.... id imagine the underside to be not too good.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 The good things with rust is any lost metal can be replaced, at a cost. I'd be more focussed on the components that cannot be replaced with Toyota parts which includes just about everything underneath. You can still get bolts and hockey sticks but that is about as far as it goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 As long as the price is right, and you go in with your eyes wide open, anyone got a link to the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
