For what it's worth, many of the wrecked Supras I've seen are beyond repair for the average mechanic - things like twisted frames and flood damage are extremely difficult to remedy (making it far from a project with any sort of cost-benefit). If I do hear of any that are salvageable, I'll send you a PM.

In other threads on this forum, some Canadians are now importing '93s and maybe '94s from Japan. Maybe you could somehow go through Canada? Keep in mind though, that a RHD probably won't pass US DOT crash test specs...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
