  1. I have 3 RHD dashboards in barn, tomorrow I can send you some pics and try to find out how much will cost shipping.
  2. Has anyone dynoed bone stock import?
  3. Such a nice episode but that front bumper was a shame
  4. If I were somewhere in the middle of Europe, then I could break it and sell in parts, but right know I spent to much to get back that money. Here we have maybe a 6 cars in country and something about these numbers in neighbour countrys. Shipping parts somewhere far is not a good choice nor cheap. I'm not afraid of full rebuild, done that many times and it's somehow a meditation and escape from everyday's routine.
  5. I checked AA for history and some many years ago it was C grade damage, but repaired and back on road. But as I see, this bent structural part could be from that crash, looks old and badly repaired. UK have different story with MOT inspection, we have MOT government controlled and are impossible to get MOT with such bad repairs, must be repaired exactly in oem factory look.
  6. We have a little bit different filosophy - fix, instead of break! I know there is a lot of work and nerves, but I think, it's worth it. After 10 years no one will break a Supra if it will be able to fix and restore. There's no talk about proffit, but love of this precious car model! So far I inspected, need a front bumper, side skirts, alternator, radiator, door hinges, front fenders and splash shields. Also need a LHD dashboard and all the rest of LHD parts, but that's a different story and I have a pretty good experience on these swaps parts and rebuilds.
  7. Thanks guys for support! My budget was realy low this time. To be or not to be, because prices are skyrocketing. About that damage - I were talking about bent and badly repaired longeron not the rust! If it's bent, so the car's geometry is bad and can be some other hidden damages under the body panels and in chassis.
  8. I will keep you updated with the process. Right now I don't have time for full inspection and disassembly, but will start some work on sunday. I know it's a gamble to buy cars online, but I don't have a choice, it's not so easy to check a car across the Europe. I bought already 3 Supras and a dozen of bikes from UK thru internet. This is the picture from ad and it's supsicious why it's blury and the messed up part is just behind the line. I asked for more pictures and none have this part. [ATTACH=CONFIG]226526[/ATTACH]
  9. Need advice! Car finaly arrived home and it was soooooooo undercarried, all covered with moss, mouse nests under the bonnet and in back seat. But this is a small issue, few hours hard work and all clean! But I noticed that there is nasty structurral damage which wasn't mentioned in ad, nor visible in added pics. Our country's MOT definitely wont allow it. So I'm preparing for restoration of this part and actualy whole car will be stripped to bare metal for restoration and repaint. But what can I do with it? Can I claim ebay for this hidden damage which wasn't mentioned? [ATTACH=CONFIG]226524[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]226525[/ATTACH]
  10. Car collected from seller and started journey to Latvia. This thread can be deleted.
  11. Has anybody done tis conversion? Some say it's useless, but I need it for LHD conversion, just to relocate odometer.
  12. Purchase agreement hope will work and I will ask DVLA for a new papers. I think I’m already done this to some motorcycle years ago, can’t remember.
  13. Alright, win the auction, will see how bad shape it is
  14. No problem with repairs, but what problems can it vairs with documents? I want this car for export, repair, and registrate in other country.
  15. It's looks like seller isn't telling everything... can someone explain me whats the real status of this car? Here is the AA report https://www.theaacarcheck.com/reports/AA18476539/L679XHW I'm not from UK and not familiar with local DVLA and insurance laws.
  16. I'm the highest bidder so far. I thought someone overbid me, but ok, will see after 3 days.
  17. I'm really interested to rescue this car. Just curious how far the price will rise?
  18. Yeah, this one looks perfect for my project, but price is a little bit too high.
  19. Want to buy a cheap Supra without MOT, lightly damaged or just some rolling shell with papers. Please post your offers here or PM. Thanks!
  20. Keron, maybe you have some poor Supra which could be rescued by me!? Something for the reasonable price, failing mot and with some small damages?
