If you don’t find anything in the next couple weeks I can bring mine from Tauranga, I’ll likely be visiting palmy for a weekend in 2 ish weeks. 

Hey mate my number is 02108496188 give me a call when you know when your coming down next? How much would you want for sorting it if you do it?

Will keep both those options in mind thanks guys.. anyone delt with the mini wreckers down here? I was thinking they might know where to do it too if they don't do it themselves that is.

Hey guys I'm in palmy and looking for someone who pumps up the old hydrolastic suspension.... does anyone know somewhere to get it done down here?

So I finally decided to share my Supra journey so far.. it's come along way but has so far to come yet.

It's a 1987 Ga70 shell that was a factory auto 1ggteu that had been converted to manual and from what I can tell it had a pretty rough past life possibly as a track car or just a thrasha..

I originally scored it from Auckland as a TradeMe special parts car with Rego on hold, and not much else going for it that was ment to be a shell for rust cuts for my other supra that I had at the time but the project went a completely different direction after closer inspection I decided this was the better of the 2 cars to get back on the road.

It has a bitta rust (as they do) rear corners above tail lights/boot floor/roof guttering/and a little under the bonnet and around front pillars, which makes the rust work the next steps in my build to be repaired before panelbeating gets done.

Those sciroccos go really well, cool car!

88 Toyota Supra

Dirty old Sigma that I picked up a while ago, im sure the bog/NewTek/alloy cans and some galv panels were all that held it together, however it ran sweet/had low kms and live plates

A very interesting book I scored off ebay a while ago, its all in German but has some very important measurements etc for body work etc

Not 100% decided yet tbh but was thinking steel flares might actually do the poor Maxi a favor in the looks department, the wheels set up under the Maxi in photo is measured to roughly how far they would be sticking out sitting on the Subaru setup.. so was kinda thinking of it like a mini with the wide flares but will make my mind up once it's sitting in place

This is my maxibaru discussion page, would love feedback hints and tips on my crazy/sick buildup.

Thanks for the info mate I really appreciate it, think im almost sold on the 1GZfe at this stage.. would look right at home under the Supras long bonnet and that Corona sounds and looks awesome! and way better priced than the 1VD

Probably not mate but I'd try it before going electric

I've just been looking at that one too.. amazing build and very cool

3rz seems like a good strong engine too.. thanks

I'd go diesel engine and learn to make my own fuel before I go electric.

1gz would be a cool conversion, and 2gr seems alright too and might suit swapping out the 3vz engined supra.

I like the Jz engine and yes it is a good engine I get that but I would rather put in something different and that goes for the uz too, they are good conversions (jz being a factory supra engine isn't really a conversion) they have been done by many which is fine but not ideal for this car.

Car is only being built with the intentionally to hand down to my kids, its not as a drift/burnout or thrasher car, its something they will hopefully appreciate and look after as it's been built by Me their father.
