Input Please what should I do with this supra?

if there is not any rust on the body and interior is ok and your crank is all thats broken i would fix it up,i would take the motor out put it on a stand and work it little by little this is if you have another car to drive. a broken crank sucks but thats no reason to part it out, while on the stand you can see the extent of the damage and go from there. if your uncle installed bigger pisonts im gonna assume he installed new bearings and rings all it might need is some gaskets,seals, and a little tlc(not to metion a new crank) but pics would help alot

Pics would definitely help. But you do have the total package. It's hard to good a decent Supra (MK3 that is). That is a Turbo, Targa, Stick. Post those pics and hopefully it's not in too bad of shape.

thanks guys. the interior was good but car sat in the weather for last five years or so and somewhere in that timeframe the targa began to leak so most of the interior is pretty much useless. was going to get pics up but after six years or so my uncle finally decides to move the car. which is odd that it was literally two days after my first post. not sure of the details but i think he sold it to my other uncle as a parts car for a project truck so kinda kills any plans i had with the car. it was a beautiful car just a few years ago but that florida sun tore it up. if i had gotten to keep the car was probably going to gut the interior and fix the motor and pretty much make it a track car. either way that car is out of my hands for now. so guess gonna keep tinkering with my z32 until i come across another good mkiv for a great price then ill be back :-)
