well my supra is in great condition. no engine problems so far... everything on the engine is stock with 143k miles on it except the radiator and the power steering. the body is in need of work with a dent in the front left bumber from where i got backed into and then some other small gouges and what not.

the nissan 300zx has no scratches or dents or anything wrong with the body. the engine is amazingly clean except the fuel injections that went bad. the clutch has just been replaced by Nissan.

it is one of my nabors who offered me his 300zx for so cheap....
i was going to have my supra painted and body all cleaned up but now im considering taking that money and buying and fixing the 300zx.... idk what i should do....?

I'd say stick with the Supra. Usually if somebody is giving away a car cheap that's in good condition that needs "just this" to run, there's probably much more wrong with it. Besides, have you tried to work on the engine in a 300zx? There's not much room to get your fingers past the intake plenums.

The way I see it, you have an idea of what's good and bad on your Supra, so you know what to expect. Keep fixing it up and enjoy it.
