LOL! And it still probably outweighs a Paseo by 800lbs! Permanent convertible? Nah, duct tape, tarp and some PVC and you've got a badass DIY MKIII Spyder.

So which person in the vid are you?

Yeah I took a lot of weight off it. The wheel gaps are huge and I bet it has as much ground clearance as any subaru out there. I am the one behind the camera. Its said but true that most mk3s are worth more in parts then as a whole. I just got another mk3 NA 5spd for 400 today.

http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...ft-pulley.html <-- could use a cheap crankshaft I think.


It is sad how little they're worth these days. Seems they're either worth $500 or $5,000 and nothing in between or higher or lower.

Disgusting, before long there will be no Supras. Why don't you go out and molest Cameros or Mustangs.

The car did not look rusty to me, I see people who part out good cars as chicken thief's. Between drifters and strippers soon there will only be a few left. Maybe none, problem is children only see the now.

Yeah it was rusty. Mk3s tend to rust in hidden places. Just to start each rear wheel well has a hole big enough to put a fist through. But don't hate me, hate the long line of back yard mechanics that try to "fix" them. The red tube on the intake is made from a fire extinguisher. They replaced a fender brace with a wooden dowel and electrical tape. And the front bumper with just make you laugh. Plus it has 250K on it.

Fair enough, can you take some pictures of the rust? My guy in Japan was rusting in the area of the spare tire. It was the reason he stayed in Japan and was scrapped. You have to love these cars to keep them. Soon enough a stripped down frame will be worth money. Wonders how many are left? Can tell you they are rare in Japan.
