what to check ?

[supra virgin 1]

hi guys have just picked up my 1st supra, I want to give her a real going over and check everything. Any advice or tips on what too look out for would be greatly recieved. They look like a real pig too work on, are they as bad as they seem ( not scared of the spanners but not an expert )

What spec car are you looking at? They're not that difficult to work on if you can handle a spanner, but there are some things you really must check.

The NA's are pretty bullet proof, the TT's need a much more in detailed check before buying.

Sorry, please don't take this the wrong way but I have very little idea around what you just said?! I struggle without punctuation as I don't know at which point to take a breath.

...I did forget to add: Welcome to the club. The breadth of knowledge here is really unbeatable. I'm sure you will find all the info you need. Good luck with the car, I'm sure you will be happy with it.
