Well guys thanks for the advice. I got some replies on SupraMania which would work out better for me. I'm going to be buying two 1989 Supras. One is a single turbo and manual but needs a transmission and a little extra to be fixed on the outside but it's alright. The other is in great shape other than it's auto and is not a turbo.

So I found some people in my area to help do a swap from the auto to fix the stuff I need on the manual. Then get whatever else I might need out of it and then junk the rest unless someone would want it.

Saves me money, time and also gets my n00by hands dirty with finally learning some more of what to do. Glad I found some people in my area to help with it. Total cost of both cars combined will be $1800 but with what I'm getting out of it, it will save me probably double that in labor and parts.

Can get the molding strip from the right side door before you scrap the parts car?
