As I’ve posted here before, the car sat 16 or so years before Nathan saved it by giving it the mechanical attention it needed. Upon him selling it to me I started right away making plans how to revive it aesthetically. Later this month the time is set aside to paint the car fully so that is a go.
The interior was filthy so I set out to correct that. Mind you, the first two pictures are before being hit. The 50/50 and after shots are still wet so not as vibrant as it actually appears now. I still need to do the rear of the headliner, driver seat, and driver carpet.
Ignore the dash as I have a perfect one to replace it. I haven’t touched the door panel plastics or any other plastics but will tomorrow. Essentially I did the passenger seat, carpet, door panel carpets on both sides, the headliner and sun visors. The headliner and visors looked beyond saving but somehow I restored them fully.
The products I used was Ammo NYC Shag, Ammo NYC scrub pad, Amazon Essentials microfiber towels, and a Chemical Guy’s boar’s hair brush that I’ve modified. The results are very pleasing and incredible in person. Again the pictures are wet and fresh after detail. All stains have been lifted. I do still need to vacuum the floor mats, remove those to clean, clean the carpet under them, and pull the seats to do the carpet under those. Enjoy!

Love the FC. Still looking for either an FC of my own or another MK3 Supra for a good project.

Get one while you still can. The values are getting crazy on the FC.

For the prices they command here for a half decent one, I will most likely end up importing one. A few more years till my NSX is elligible, might as well just get an FC and import them together . MK3 Supras are getting insane as well.

I was lucky enough to buy a 1990 GTU n/a. I got it from the second owner, it was bought here in Northern, California. Both owners cherished it it was in a friends backyard under a tarp been sitting for 2 years, it needs a transmission now but she's in the garage till I get the funds to repair it.

WOAH! The almighty GTU!!! I freaking love those and they’re very uncommon. Wow that’s a serious piece of money you have right there. It’s beautiful! Get a trans in that and enjoy it.
