CJ Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I am thinking of another project and would like some advice. If I bought another Supra it would mean that i would change the external look, the engine, probably the g/box etc. So I was thinking if there was a source for finding a Supra that had a blown engine etc and/or body damage but not so much that it would need major money thrown at it for chassis allignment etc. I dont mind fitting a new engine or replacing body parts. Am I making sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 So I was thinking if there was a source for finding a Supra that had a blown engine etc and/or body damage I'm sure I have seen a jap website or importer with this kind of stuff....maybe it was in the back of a jap mag ??? sorry, no help really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopite Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 What sort of price would you be willing to pay for damaged / blown engine'd supras? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 What sort of price would you be willing to pay for damaged / blown engine'd supras? I have no idea what they are going for TBH. But seeing as I can buy a full road going one for about 6.5k it would have to be a lot cheaper than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Saw an N/A in southampton autotrader for £2.5k ono. at that price you can buy it flog all the bits you don't want and leave yourself with a chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Keighley trade centre? They have the exact type of cars being looked for by CJ, sadly they seem to think that they are all of the highest quality and they apply prices to match. Dodgy fuckers!

Muffleman Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I was wondering the exact same thing CJ, I'll let you know if I find anything. Actually, I was looking at that white one on ebay hence my posts yesterday about registering a 1997 car, but that white one does sound a bit too dodgy !
