The Resurrection Part 1

I also found this, abandoned in the Valo Pick-A-Part, and surprisingly, no-one there knew how it got there, and no parts were missing. However, the turbo's are fucked, all the impellers are broke, the head gasket and the oil pan gasket are shot, the cam timing is way off, the belts are deteriorated and cracking to pieces, seal on the roof is basically rock now, not rubber, rear driver side shock and springs are collapsed, and the brake rotors are gone. like, rusted and pitted. All the parts are here though, and just need a little TLC. For now, I'm going to put one of my 4A-GE's into it, just to move it around while I rebuild the 2j. I picked her up for a staggering 2 grand, mostly because the people had something to put in the cars place. Unfortunately, it was another Supra, this one a hard top, and no turbo, but the body was straight(ish) with the rear bumper dented in a bit. Poor thing. Hope someone takes care of it.











Added 2 hours 13 minutes later:

I pulled the engine, and started to strip it down to the block



Here's whats left of the turbos



Pulled the intake and exhaust off



Pulled the cams, and the cam cover



Off with its head! Here you can see whats left of the gasket that protects the engine.



Tipped it over so I could remove the oil pan



Got the crank, conrods, and pistons out



Now, I have just a block. I sent it to be cleaned thoroughly, and I'm talking to JUN about some parts for my new tire shredder...
