It now runs, drives and stops! Replaced fuel pump and hoses needed replacing and I had to drop the tank. Plugs kept the ends of the plug wires at some point, so I repaired the broken crimps and sorted a miss.

Lots of other electrical gremlins too keep me tied up like a pretzel under the dash. AC needed help but it now blows cold too. All in all now, 90% is functional (c’mon door locks). This one might be a keeper.

Supra needs a dash, two seat skins ($ourced?) transmission drain/fill and a brake flush. Radio is aftermarket and head unit is the worst I have ever seen so I might be forced to do that too. Oh, and all the bits and bobs I might be mi$$ing.

Ouch, that dash. The sun is a harsh mistress.

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing. > Buckner 06/24/2020 at 23:49

I saw that remote. Dual. I’m old, and I remember when Dual made solid, quality stuff in West Germany. In fact, I still have a 50-year old Dual 1219 turntable down in the basement somewhere. OK, it needs a little work, but with just a little effort it can be brought back to being a quality piece again. The stuff that uses the name nowadays? It was shit when it was brand new and it will never be anything other than shit, and is an insult to those that remember what the brand once stood for.

And the Supra? Awesome. Keep up the good work. I'm happy to see it come back to life.

I always liked the 2nd gen car . Not long ago I read about one of these with a 2JZ swap. It was a relatively mild build, but 500hp really woke up that Supra.
