supra in my sights!.....

Hi all, i am currently looking at a supra and found one that i think i might buy today.......... the only thing is it needs a bit of paintwork and i cant get a quote on a sunday, and need to lay my deposit on it............

can anyone give me a rough price to do the following to a good standard.....

1)all four arches have slight rust (bubbling), so need the rust removed and sprayed over ( not sure if both whole sides need doing so it all blends in?). i think this is because the arches have been roled an water has been trapped over the years. (see below)

this arch is the worst of the four.

2)the front bumper needs a complete spray.

and one or two small scratces that need a bit of a blow over..

if you have any ideas how much this would cost it would be a great help to me so that i can decide if i will lay a deposit on this car or not.

thanks

Id personally walk away mate...can end up costing you way too much to sort it and there are far too many supras for sale on the market to not have a good look around and get one in tip top condition....

You obviously love Supras in a special way:)

Oh, and Hello and welcome O fixer of warp drives type one:d

I'd imagine the fare price for a clean job would cost £300, if lucky though as these days body work cost alot in some garages

+ I managed to spray my bodykit for £200 3 years ago , but that might cost alot more now

jeez, what are you like,

unless your getting it cheap as chips.

buy one with good paint, then you wont have to pay out for a respray

hi guys cheers for the reply, i have already looked at about 8 supras and this one is exactly what im after even if it does need a bit of paint work:) ...... it is a also a bit cheapar than the others to account for the work that needs doin.......

£300....thats a great price!?, i thought it would coast me closer to £600 has anybody else got any thougts on a rough price.............

help much appreciated

thanks

yeh, id thought it would be more like 700

There must be something special about this particular Supra ??

If it has a good engine and the only neg points about it are the body bits then get it mate, I think having a good engine is always a better thing than having a pefect paint work , at least for start, then when you got the car in hand save for the spray job.

good luck anyway.

what model are you buying and how much !??!

id walk away from that.. rusty back arches.. thats the first ive seen on a supra!! not well cared for imo

I've never heard of Mkiv supes rusting. Somethings odd there mate.

check the under chasis of the car,

and yes, i think everyone would prefer the engine to be sound, as expensive things can happen,lol

your propbably get a few chavs bump and scrape your paintwork anyway, everyone seems to experience that, including myself.

If it's rusty on top then it will be rusty underneath, walk away mate, it must have had some sort of repair to have rusty bodywork, or spent some of it's life in the sea.

I agree mate, walk away, you can do better than that.

If you want to get a Supra, its worth getting the best example you can, if you buy a dog of a car, you'll be paying for it for as long as you own it.

WALK AWAY !!

There are plenty of very good supras out there or speak to jurgen at jm imports he will get you exactly what you want and for a good budget

Like others have said rusty up top def rusty underneath!!

WALK AWAY

On all my time here, I've never heard of a Supra with rusty arches. Thats sure to be a sign of extreme neglect or poorly repaired accident damage.

never seen a rusty mkiv before .....
