My old 2.8 Celica-Supra.
My old 2.8 Celica-Supra.
The 2.8 Celica-Supra , I've had 3 over the years but it was the last one i had i spend time on like a man possessed, sort of burnt myself out doing it , so i have a bog standard Lexus IS300 just to cruse around in and needs no work.
A few photos of my work on the supra.....

All the underside work was done by hand with a scraper, wire brush and then hand painted.
Also stripped the engine down to block and pistons, then replaced what was needed, including , seals ,gaskets ,belts , hoses etc
The 2.8 Supra is now a rare car to find in good condition , this one i even got mention in a classic car mag .

Thought i would share with you guys my last project ( now sold ), always been a keen Celica enthusiast and have owned most of the models dating back to 1971.

BEAUTIFUL car Bob. An excellent example, must be one of the best around. Have you seen it or had any contact with the new owner (forum maybe?) since it has gone?

Lexusboy That Supra was a classic take a look at those seats only difference today is they are leather..
Very clean too...
How long did you have it Bob
Had it for around 4 years, got it off feebay as a blind sale, took a chance on it, asked loads of questions and the deal was done.
My hard work paid off, as the money i sold it for, was pumped into the IS300 fund
