Hey man, beautiful Supra! This one is gonna be Imperial Jade Mica, dark green essentially, 1998 only color. Thank you!

It's in San Clemente, CA
Well with a sun-warped dash staring me in the face daily, it was a bit disappointing. A new paint job would only make the imperfect dash more obvious. I expected the same as your MR2, but somehow, these dashes do still exist. The first two arrived broken, but third time was the charm!

LOL you're so right! It was such an unexpected acquisition, and at the time, it was not immediately clear how good of a car it really was underneath. I fell in love, and hard. Thank you sir, it will be a pleasure to post additional updates (whenever i get around to it, lol)

And all the while, on a 4Runner forum! Thanks mrsingh, a finished product is found mostly in its small details... The pictures are going to be dumped shortly!

COB, I love the story on how you got this car and the progress you've made. Subscribed.

You are correct, sir. Thank you for subscribing, ToyotaBrah, I hope to see more posts from you in the coming months.

Love the backstory, love the build, love the passion. Keep it up dude!
PS - I'm flying to TX on Tuesday to pick up my dream Toyota. This might belong in your 87' 4Runner thread but I'm going to be picking your brain in the near future I'm sure ;)

Aw man, that first paragraph really got to me. Thank you dude. The opportunity cost for the car is definitely hefty, but the payoff will be rewarding... I can't say there's a car I'd rather own right now.
Glad you like it, man, really, that's great to hear.
Now this dream Toyota of yours, I must hear more! Is it a turbo?!
