Hood release cable

scruffboy · 04-22-2007, 12:15 PM

If it's the cable you have a good shot at opening the hood. If it is the actual latch, good luck! I gave up and brought mine to a shop where it cost me $100 and the owner told me never to bring it back if it breaks again because he really had to bust his chops to open the damn thing. Just so ya know.

Very nice and very clean supra. If its nice in the engine bay, I'd say go for it and buy it but the car looks good. I only paid $600 for my 87 Turbo Supra at my local junk yard but its not as nice as the one you got pictured.

G/L and go buy it!!!

If it's running and $1k i would buy it as my second car for sure.
