it is on the truck as i type. now it will be at the july 4th meet for sure. i suggest AAA for anybody here. my membership runs out tommorrow, i've had my truck and crown towed to zero {almost 100 miles} my crown towed the last 100 miles from the florida trip when i picked it up. and 2 other tows on my various trucks when the alternators died. plus i got my altima to the shop that installed the motor, and they fixed the wifes ingition when she broke the key off. not bad for $150. who needs car payments when can have AAA and 6-7 old cars! pics

It's going for brakes mainly but a lowering might be in order too. I also want dave to check it out. We were talking about some primer and red sparkle paint for the big steelies I have. Stock color is growing on me thou so maybe a touch up and polish. Glides-you must picture gods as coolass Japanese dude in a black suit and sunglasses at night. Rides in the back of course.

Glad to finally see your car in person...It took me like twenty minutes to take in all of the gangsterness. Where do I start? The american muscle car style low back bucketseats with a full console with a four on the floor? The megasize of the the car compared to all of the other Japanese cars of the era? The sound of the 2m engine, the great, great, great, great, great granddaddy of the MkIII supra turbo? Awesome, cool car. The coolest and the rarest car we've had at the shop.

I can vouch for AAA's bad assness.
2JZ swap.

Loooks so cool and gangster like all the rest said. The color is great but the greatest gangster color is black. But I am sure paint may be later down the road. I just want to see that thing cruising 285 or something. That would be sweet.

Black is the long term plan for sure. Dave-what's your thought on paint and body? You think a color match may be possible?i am glad everyone is getting to see the car. Too bad I'm never up there but I am really looking toward to driving it around. Eddie-you can't have it but you can drive it. I am really wanting to just ride in the back.
