1989 Toyota Supra purchased from original owner, July 2014. It sat untouched in the original owners garage from 2005 to 2014, and in my garage until 2016 - 11 years total before being driven again. The car was in non-running shape due to a blown head gasket and a multitude of other mechanical issues. Interior is in pretty good shape, some light sun damage.

Since purchase, I have done the following:
- Rebuilt the 7M-GTE engine
- Upgraded CT-26 turbo and fuel system
- Swapped Auto to R154 5-Speed Manual Transmission
- Replaced dash and door panels
- White MKIV TT wheels to keep the OEM white package look
