My Supra

I stumbled upon your net and thought I'd say "HI". For years I've had a Supra parked out by the barn and have recently thought of either beginning restoration or selling it.

1980 MK 1.2
4m-E
A/C, pwr windows, tilt wheel...etc
solid rear axle, no leafs. Disc brakes all around. Radio missing.
all trim good, no body damage or cancer except passenger door window is broken
last driven in '02 but parked due to burned exhaust valves from California gas and soft valve seats.
interior and dash needs lots of work but everything is there. Parked in the sun for a long time.

This car has what looks like stock real wire spoke wheels, not falsies. Maybe they're not stock after all. I was thinking a set of light new fangled rims would be better.

I remember how this car felt on steep mountain grades. It drove like a big American V8 in a larger car. Good solid feel and sound and easy to park.

So now, what to do.... Sorry no pic.

Is this one of the more sought after models or is it ordinary? Anyone know?

I'll take a pic or two when I can find my camera. I lost it. Title on car is OK.

Any suggestions? Anyone interested or shall I start fixing. If I do it it will end up with the interior done in Mexico. That may be a sin but I ain't rich and they do pretty good work.
