Syndicate Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Here's my project. Bought the car from a performance shop awhile back. My progress is below, but now I am at a stand still. I don't have alot of time to work on and finish the car. But every shop I talk to here locally wants an arm and aleg to finish it because they have never seen one before. The car is so close to finishing it makes me sick. If anyone is local to Wilmington NC, please help a brotha out lol!!! Bought it............ Put rims on it......... Towed it to the shop......... Ripped the Twin Turbo motor and trans out........... Started fabbing............. Test fitted an engine............ Engine and trans mounts ready......... Built a SBC 406 for it.......... Bolted the 406 and 700R4 in it............ Rolled it outside............ Now it sleeps beside a V8 rx-7 waiting to be finished..... HEEELLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!

All it needs is minor things like, intake manifold, driveshaft, radiator and hoses, wiring, things like that. And no trans tunnel massaging needed here.

Bobby If you are serious about buying it, I will cut you a pretty good deal on the whole package. Plus I have a TON of things that would come with the sale. I will probably end up buying another Supra and just sticking to bolt on from now on lol. I would love to finish this car, just don't have the time.

Guest 91crxsir Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 ok cool sounds good. Do you happen to still have the tt engine? A friend of mine was interested in swaping the tt into his n/a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syndicate Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 ok cool sounds good. Do you happen to still have the tt engine? A friend of mine was interested in swaping the tt into his n/a. I sold the TT engine and trans along time ago. How serious are you about buying this thing? I ran into an old friend who works at a rather large performance shop in town that is willing and wants to finish the car. They feel some magazine coverage can come from it since they have had a couple other cars in mags before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 91crxsir Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 if its your dream to keep it and finish it go ahead. I just didn't want to see a great project car be forgot about and rust out with so many others. lol I can just work on droping a v8 in my z31. So finish it and enjoy driving that beast. But let me know if your heart becomes set on selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't want to see a great project car be forgot about and rust out with so many others. lol I can just work on droping a v8 in my z31. So finish it and enjoy driving that beast. But let me know if your heart becomes set on selling it. Not to take anything away from Hybrids but that is what would happen to this project most likely if I don't sell it now. I would most likely pull the engine and trans out and sell them. And just have the rolling chassis but up on blocks at my farm and keep the wheels for my next car. I will be the first one to say, if I could turn wrenches I would love to keep this car. But I can't and what troubles me also, is that even after the car is finished, their will be maintance issues that I will not be able to address. So with that being said. She is forsale for 5,500. below is a list of specs and other items that come with the car for that price. Pictures are obviously located above in the the post, but if you or someone would like to see more pictures, I have more.
