愚か
Still think the whole concept is stupid. I have no respect for American metal. Sure lots of people love them but that is why other people buy Toyota Cars. My last GM was a 89 Firebird and it was a mechanical disaster, There was a rattle in the back when new. Someone had put a beer can in the rear quarter panel between the back glove box and quarter panel. Must of happened in the factory in Canada. The car went through a alternator and battery religiously every 2 to 3 years. Just about every system and sub system did not work right. I kept the stupid thing for years. Sold it on ebay last year and saw it headed for the Mexican border and good riddance!
So if you luv GM metal so much why do you want a Toyota shell?

Lol
This thread is almost depressing to read.... partly because everybody is bashing on this guy, and partly because of what hes doing to his Supra...
I admire how he continues to post up and push through his project despite the hate from everybody towards it, and I also admire his way of cheaply getting a dead car back to life. HOWEVER, I can see how swapping in an inferior engine and a roller paint job could be a great and cheap way to fix up an old toyota CAMRY but it kind of hurts me inside to see that being done to a SUPRA.  On the bright side, at least this means that another supra shell will be actually used and hopefully maintained opposed to sitting and rusting/breaking down in somebody's garage or yard. |

1987 Toyota MKIII Supra V8 Chevy 350 Swap
Not done yet! Trying to include all the areas people question. Like how the engine plates are made. How to mount the transmission. How to build the driveshaft. Hope some of these pics help the next person.

1987 350 Chevy V8 Supra Build MKIII Conversion
This build can be done quick. Only part I had to source out was the welding which cost me $400 and have the driveshaft built, $130.
