COB's '94 Supra Turbo

[ChildrenOfBodom]

I have a friend that has the same luck with guns as you do cars. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I'm excited for your build. Are you going to sell the mkIV as a shell or part it out?

Frankly, I don't know either, opportunity strikes.

The choice has been to return it to stock body panels, manual swap it, and repaint it. Might be a few performance upgrades in there too

Always impressed with how you turn these old Toyotas. I think you'd have a team of helpers if we all lived local.

Thank you, I wish I had some helpers because the parts car in my driveway needs to go! Haha

Before and after... less than a month since I bought it

Love it. Do you have plans for painting it eventually? And are you going for a targa top?

Edit : I see the post above you may paint it.

Looks like your brother finally got his pickup running :clap2: lol

Yeah, this things got a ways to go. After mechanical repair, the exterior is going to change drastically.

1. Remove bondo from sides of car and door jambs
2. Drill out rivets, weld holes and smooth
3. Rust repair or replace rear hatch if necessary
4. dent removal (targa top, driver's door, a few dings elsewhere)
5. paint match the inner door jambs
6. paint replacement parts from silver to white inside
7. reassemble car, then paint factory white

Also somewhere in no particular order:
1. New windshield
2. New marker lamps for the front bumper
3. Find rear trim pieces that fit along the wheel well

Looks like your brother finally got his pickup running :clap2: lol

LOL the only things putting that truck to use are the bugs who've inhabited the interior. Well, that and busted sideskirt and carbon fiber hood storage

5 years this month since that piece of shit was put to any real use

The Blitz wheels are gone - Traded them for a set of chrome TT wheels plus $1,000 cash.

The chrome isn't my taste, but sure beats curbed heavy 19's. Might end up painting the chromes or trading them.

The sorry state of the brakes - new rotors and pads will be finding their way onto this car. The silly brembo stickers will be removed from the stock TT calipers.

Bonus! Stainless steel braided lines!

Chrome sure is ugly... though nothing on the car matches yet anyway.

Also on the hunt for some decent tires.

Later went down to my friend John's. Using his lift, I was able to check the undercarriage.

After finding shit like this, you better believe it's getting straight piped with the correct size tubing. Test pipe for a temporary smog solution.

Alongside: John's latest vehicle, a 98 4Runner 4x4. It's got bumpers, Total Chaos UCA's, coilovers, and KM2's. I've posted pictures of that 4Runner on here a few times and now my friend owns it, lol.

Looks a bit janky, since it needs all of the front bumper brackets.

WILL IT PASS SMOG?

YES

So I'm guessing you just pushed it to the driveway? If I were you, I would tell him to take it or it's yours haha.

Supra's looking good BTW. Can't wait for the paint!

I've tried to acquire it... it'd have been put to use years ago. I'm glad I didn't, or else I'd have probably never fixed up the 87 4Runner.

Yeah the Supra is a bit frankenstein right now, but it'll be nice when it's all painted.

The extra car cover fits pretty good, not so much around the spoiler, but it's close.

Beutiful cars! do you have any pics/detail on the mk3?

My cousins 7m was the very first motor pull I had every done on his 91. and i missed his rebuild since ive been in.

 

[ihateBL]

i see the Fast and Furious paint job in your future:roadkill: and the hks exhausts are killer. good find.:hello:

 

[PhdNPrerunners]

Wow many you have really turned this car around for the better. You always do such amazing jobs on your vehicles. Keep up the great work!

 

[Tikiflame]

Good Job on bringing it back to stock, looking good man.

No hurry, don't rush it, but I think we are waiting on the paint. Btw Did I miss the post about what color .?.
my opinion would be pearlescent white.

Looks good during the day and Really good at night. Just seems to fit it since white is the original color. Also, after all this work, I would keep that thing.

I do indeed: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/all-other-vehicles/173045-cobs-89-supra-turbo.html

I just started the motor rebuild on mine, let me say that pulling a 7M-GTE was one confusing mess of hell, lol.

i see the Fast and Furious paint job in your future:roadkill: and the hks exhausts are killer. good find.:hello:

Fast and the Furious paintjob is in the past, thankfully!

Thanks dude!

The car is actually already pearlescent white, and I hate it, lol. Too over the top for me.

The white will likely be a nicer two stage rather than the original single stage, but nothing crazy. I like it simple.

Sent the tint back to hell from where it came. Faded to purple es muy mexicano. :usa2:

My friend John had an alternator from a Lexus RX330 he had parted out. The thing shared internals, voltage regulators, brushes, stator... it was the same alternator with the exception of the mounting locations on the housing and the size of the positive terminal.

My alternator randomly failed - the trick was switching the piece with the positive terminal. The lexus terminal was too short, so John cut it off, tapped it, then did the same for the longer Supra terminal. Screwed the longer terminal onto the now-threaded Lexus terminal - I've got an alternator. 14.3V of alternating goodness.

Shown: alternator with the backing, voltage regulator, brushes, and the terminal piece removed.

This thing's really growing on me...

Got rid of the Pioneer radio it had. What a piece of junk that thing was. It couldn't even save radio presets. Got a stocker in good working order.

Can we please manual swap it

COB thread lurker here, LOL

I have to admit, I LOVE seeing stuff like this. Returning her to her former glory (STOCK) is certainly great to watch. I personally can't stand seeing everyone "rice out" their car, but hey, it's their car, who am I to judge. But, when I see an older car in great/perfect and in stock condition, I have mad respect them (over the ricers) b/c they care enough to keep their car in the condition they are in.

[MENTION=25058]ChildrenOfBodom[/MENTION] : You are doing an excellent job on this and your '89 Supra. Keep up the awesome work and thanks for sharing!

I wonder if anyone feels this way about lifted 4 runners
