Default Just bought 87 turbo!

I just bought a real find. 87 supra been sitting for 3 years, and body is all there! now its going to need some work to get it running. Anything you guys can think of that you would check or do? its all stock... Im going to do the brakes and drain all fluids. I was wondering about putting some fogging oil in the cylinders and oiling the turbo previous to starting... Any advice is greatly appreciated.

now where near mechanically inclined as quite a few in this community... but I'd have to guess that if she's been sitting for three years, you might need to pull the engine and replaces seals and rings... but if she passes a compression test, I it might be ok.. if she still starts up and runs, that's pretty lucky... also after sitting for soo long, I'd imagine you'd wanna clean up stuff under the hood... give the coolants a flush and change... maybe even get down into the fuel injectors and filter... There's a lot of unknowns to be concerned about when buying someone's 3 yr old neglect. Good luck..

swap all fluids, check bearings, check timings, tires, brakes, brake lines, brake fluids, re-grease joints...etc

and cheap OEM parts would be great hahah

any random website like this one would be great for parts for our older supras :]
