Buying this car this week, tell me what you think Mon, 09 June 2003 04:25 Go to previous message
Hello everyone, It's time for me to get a new car, sick of the old 79' carb 18-r corona, I want more power!

I found this '87 supra 3.0GT turbo (7MGTE motor) for $3000! it was $12,000 but the guy has done some front end damage to it. But i think i could fix it relatively cheaply. Tell me what you guys think? And how would i go about fixing it? Or getting replacement parts?

The guy said it drives perfect as it did before he stacked into a Holden Gemini. Does the damage look too bad to repair? is it going to costs way too much if i get it done by a panel beater? can i do it myself? where can i get panels or bumpers from? especially where would i get one of them lights from??

Also are these good cars? i know the headgaskets often go on these 7MGTE engines, but the guy said he just spent $2500 on a new headgasket, i will make sure to check that the head bolts have been tightnened to 75lbs instead of 52lbs. (read that on all the supra web pages)

please give me you valued opinion! Thanx, Chris
