ITEM Name : White Turbo Supra for sale as a project
PRICE : £500
DESCRIPTION :
I have owned this car for almost 4 years now and it has had a hell of a lot of work. The engine was completely stripped and rebuilt in November 2009 and I still have most receipts for the build thread can be found here
retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=readersrides&thread=108799&page=5#1705134
the engine is awesomely reliable with a temperature gauge steady as a rock and great sound and power. (It's that smooth my friend at JAE he stood his pint on the top of the oil filler and got me to start the engine without spilling a drop.
It's since been put on solid engine mounts so the engine cant move anymore lol so I can't peform this test for you again
)
The gearbox... well it's dead (reason for sale) It's an auto so you can pick one up for next to nothing, or nothing as people are literally giving them away I just don't want the hassle of trying to change it.
It has 35mm lowering springs and KYB shocks giving it a great stance and sharp, planted feel to the driving experience.
It is completely solid in the passenger rear arch see the thread above, although the boot has started to leak again through the spoiler mounts so this will need looking at. The drivers side still needs doing, the inner is not as bad as the LH side was but the outer is bad and will also need welding. Sills are solid however as are the front wings.
It had brand new calipers on it about 2 years ago at a cost of £70 a pop so you will have no problems here.
I would like to keep the exhaust, it's not anything special and it's split but I like the style and want to repair and keep it for my next one, I do have however a 3" exhaust that you can buy with the car that isn't very old and has no damage.
It now has standard lights on it, not the clear ones in the pic, and I do want to keep the wheels so you will need to bring some with you or I can help find some and fit them before collection.
Aftermarket CD player is fitted with a SUPRA blanking plate to fill the gap, but it's not wired up... also the fans for the heater have not worked since I replaced the dash loom, however I haven't checked any fuses or even if I actually plugged them in lol. The car does still warm up slowly though as the heater matrix is fine. Could be a very easy fix.
There is a front strut brace fitted.
I have probably forgot loads but I will update if I think of anything! Sorry a lot of pictures in the threads have stopped working but here is a link to my FB album where they are all stored so you can see the work it's had. www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.208135787291.164830.631977291&type=1
I have never kept track of what this car owes me but like most it will be approaching 3k. It would be really nice if someone would finish it off and enjoy it
OH I forgot it also does have MOT left on it until June 2013.
Cheers
