Default My new car ;)

As some of you may know, I've got thing for the older style Supras and old school cars in general. I sold my third Supra last April and went into depression mode driving around in my daily 2003 Camry 4cyl. It's an amazing car to drive everyday, but life without a fun car SUCKS!

Anywho, on to the car. I just picked up a 1991 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa 5speed. It's Super Red II with shadow grey cloth interior. I purchased the car from a gentleman who just didn't have the time or motivation to fix her. It spun a bearing or two and overheats. I have a spare turbo engine that I'm going to be replacing the original engine with for the time being. I will have the engine on a stand at the shop while I get all the parts I need for my build.









I wasn't feelin' the wheels at all and luckily found someone with the original 91-92 Toyota wheels that wanted to trade




Just thought I'd share some pictures and look forward to being back out there with the car.

-Eli

**Quick update**

Just recently moved out of my old place and haven't had much time to work on the car until this weekend. I'm getting the new engine ready to drop in this week. Got a new timing belt, water pump, front seal, rear main seal, cam seals, intake gaskets, and other random things. Should be fun
