Dave's '84 Supra

1984 Supra P-type

I picked up this '84 Supra from a Phoenix area junkyard that I had gone to to get parts for another MK2 Supra I had bought (red '83). The red '83 was a complete piece of junk that needed a LOT of work to get back to even regular daily use. This '84 was a MUCH better starting point for a project car.

These are the most recent pics...

I picked up some gray cloth seats from a car recently acquired by the local Toyota junkyard. Also finished painting the various interior components black, installed a spare dashpad in better shape than the old one, installed some refinished valve covers and a set of headers I bought from Zaron. I refinished the valve covers myself with some Krylon wrinkle finish paint and my trusty heat gun!

Here are the pictures of when I first found the car and brought it home...

I needed to drop a new engine in this car because the original 2.8L 5M-GE motor had a blown headgasket and the crank pulley was missing a nice chunk of metal! I had the junkyard pull out the bad motor because I was getting a 3.0 liter 6M-GE motor from a buddy's car that had been wrecked (Todd's wrecked '84). Next thing was to get the car ready for the new engine.
