Need help finding parts for 1980

shy29 · 05-13-2005, 05:47 AM

I just bought a 1980 supra and need help finding parts. I need a new muffler and exhaust going over the axle, a new heater blower motor, and new rear springs. That's enough to start with.
It has 76,000 miles, hardly any rust, the 4ME motor with manual 5 spd. I bought it for $1.00 . My landlord owned it but her son lost the only key a while back. I pulled the door lock and took it into a locksmith and had a key made for $20.00 . It needed a new batery and the tires are shot, but after a bat swap, some air and gas I drove it home.
I am having a hard time finding parts as no one carries anything for it and I'm new to the import scene.
Thanks -Rob.

a muffler you can get anywhere(muffler shop, autoparts store, online) blower motor from auto parts house. as for the springs, have you thought of lowering the car a little bit? where are you at?

I'm in Colorado. I haven't thought about lowering the car yet but you got me thinking. How far is appropriate?
