Default Wanting to buy salvagable supra

ok lets start off, im 19...no reason you need to know that but it explains how long ive dreamed of having one... ive wanted the MkIV since 1995, theyve always cought my interest... now that im older and can actually work on cars i want to get a broken down supra and completely rebuild it, engine and all... im not one of the people that wants to just automatically buy decked out car, i love to work for that... so what im asking is can anyone tell me a decent place to find an old run down MkIV supra thats right hand driving, doesnt matter if it was automatic, or if everything needs to be restored, or if it even has a turbo... like i said i want to completely rebuild it, the transmission doesnt matter because either way im going to get it switched to manual because lets face it only wannabees drive automatics... so please help me with my dream and get me out of the damn civic im driving now

For what it's worth, many of the wrecked Supras I've seen are beyond repair for the average mechanic - things like twisted frames and flood damage are extremely difficult to remedy (making it far from a project with any sort of cost-benefit). If I do hear of any that are salvageable, I'll send you a PM.

In other threads on this forum, some Canadians are now importing '93s and maybe '94s from Japan. Maybe you could somehow go through Canada? Keep in mind though, that a RHD probably won't pass US DOT crash test specs...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.

Here in Canada u can import a Jap TT for around 18k canadian. There legal here but i dk about the states. i'd wait will 2009 then u can import a 94 TT i would probly be cheaper since right now its only legal to import a 93. Remember that the Jap TTs have different turbos than the North American verision i think the jap had 280RHp Vs the 320RHp the Americans had.

Toyota Supra - How to Import a 1993 Toyota Supra MKIV | MK4 from Japan to Canada great import site if u r interested.

Toyota Supra RZ (6 Speed) (T211177) - Import this 1993 Toyota Supra RZ (6 Speed) from Japan to Canada 22k Canadian for a TT 5spd Supra with only 63,000miles.
