Looking at 89 turbo, need pointers

[Geo81]

I know.. I thought so too... but it seems to be because of the area I live in vs. the demand of the car + the lack of them around here. I have only seen one other supra around this area within the mk3 and 2 mk4's... and both the mk4's are owned by the same guy.
It just doesn't seem like I can find one without paying some extortionist rate for all the options I am looking for... plus they are all to far away from where I live.
My goal is to eventually get the engine around 350 hp... plus I want to do the wrenching...
With that being said do you still think it is to high?

Depends on how deep your pockets are. After you dish out the 3K will you have money left to do all the work it sounds like needs to be done? If you can, go for your dream, if not, you will be frustrated having a "Driveway Star" that you can only look at and never drive.

Why not find one that runs within a state or two from where you live? I flew to NC from MN to get mine but I knew it ran like a top and needed lots of body work. I plan to turbo (it is a n/a) and fix and paint the body. I paid $2k. $2300 with plane ticket.

I bought a 89 N/A for $2000 and have put a lot of money and work into the engine, lots of new parts and still have a little ways to go. I should be finished in a couple of weeks. It runs really great, but there is just one last thing I want to take care of. IMO if the engine doesn't run well who cares what it looks like, ya know. The body is in pretty good shape but could definitely use a paint job. Have you looked into what it is going to cost to paint your car? Let me know what you come up with if you can.

By the way geo81, as you can see by the two previous posts, 89 driveable supras for 2K. That's why I think 3K for one that doesn't run is pretty darn high.
