I don't have a problem doing the body work i used to do prep work in a busy shop on Audi's all day it's just the mechanical end of it i can work on cars i just don't know if it's going to be an overly complicated car and as far as time goes i'm not going to rush it

Well, a Supra is definately not an overly complicated car, especially mechanically. Electronically its no worse than any other car, and there really isnt an abundance of vacuum lines or hoses to deal with. I find that carefull disassembly leads to smooth assembly...mark everything and lay it out somewhere in order of removal...then just reverse the process.

No way it would cost $1000 to replace the head gasket yourself. You are looking at $400 MAX in parts and about 8-10 hours of labor. Now if the head warped beyond the acceptable limit you will have to send the head out to be machined and must work with that shop to determine what oversized head gasket to purchace since there are quiet a few.
