I have owned many projects, 3000gt vr4, 2 starions, 68 camaro, 65 mustang all modded and all nice...but those supras are the nicest. Prices went wild on those years ago. Nice car!

This is awesome man. I'm a little embarrassed I didn't see this thread till now.
Super work man...I love it. Someday, I will get a Mk4. Just waiting for the right one to come along. 2.5k is unreal. I would have jumped on that myself.

Hell yeah Kenny, keeping the dream alive! Thank you! Gonna be 3 years this year.


Hey Bodhi. Those vehicles are nothing to scoff at either, I would love to own a few of them. The Supras are hard to find, and like you said, expensive usually... gotta grab them while you can! The previous owner had a classic Mustang parked in the garage, he had some decent projects.

Thank you sir.


Haha dude, you're killing me. I watched that SC 2JZ swap like it was broadway show. Got a few parts on my car to show for it, lol.

Great price, but it was really just an entrance fee! Hah! By the end of this year, cost wise, the total will be about the price of an N/A MKIV with 200k on the ODO, if that.

Thanks for the kind words, my friend!

More new parts piling in. This baby took 3 tries to get undamaged.









Stickers for when relabeling happens. I literally bought all that were available, even a few too many because some N/A stickers showed up too.




Reproductions from ECS Vin. All 10 Security tags, tire loading info, and door jamb tag.




Hood brackets for struts. Also got struts for front and rear.






Enkei RPF1's in SBC - 18x9.5 +38










Fuel door with cap holder!






Grille in white, to be painted.






I'm not a huge audio nut like some people. Most of the time, I leave the radio off. After seeing the rear speakers, I grabbed a set of (4) 6.5" Rockford Fosgate speakers for front and rear. ANYTHING is better, and the price was right. I hate the combo speaker look so these will be hiding behind a rewrapped OEM speaker grille.

The engine bay was fairly easy to strip down with a little patience. The brake lines will be a fun time on the way back in, that's for sure!











Wiring out. A dirty engine bay awaits rejuvenation.

The left quarter's last time getting a touch up before the painter gets hold of the car. The engine bay is stripped and ready. No exterior parts remain. All glass is removed.

Transporting the Supra to Huntington Beach.

Can't wait to see her going back together with all those oem parts and in fresh paint.

Maybe I missed it, but what color are you going with? Nice restoration.

Here's mine:

It's going down!! Can't wait to see the paint!

Where's your money tree at?

I'm surprised you got a new dashboard, wish I could've gotten one for my MR2 but they no longer make those.

I've got an extra Supra dash in my attic if you know anyone looking for one.

Just read through the thread, was amazing to see it go from "Bought it to play with and maybe flip" to "Full on, no expense spared, labor of love restoration". The worst thing you can do is fall in love with a car, and my friend you are totally boned. Congrats on a beautiful score and build, cant wait to see more of this in the near future.

This is the thread that keeps on giving, came back after a few months to some great updates. That attention to detail never fails to impress. Looking forward to seeing this beast painted!
