have just been offered the oportunity to take a supra of someones hands for not much money at all.
has anyone on here used one as a donor before? what are the things to be wary of?
i havent even seen under the bonnet of a supra before so advice is most welcome
Not sure on which shape you have been offered but I has a E Reg one a few years back with a 7mge engine which was prone to head gaskets going..... and mine did but was a cracking car apart from that.
They are great cars and woulod make a brilliant donor imho

Yeah the engine is pretty big from memory, probably would be a very tight squeeze to say the least. I wouldnt like to say if it would go in or not but I think it would be a tight squeeze in a viento
the motor under question is 7m-gte and apart from being quiet long its quiet heavy also...

The chair of the motor clubs got one as a trackcar.
- Other than the fact it blow the head gasget on the way home and then failed its MOT on having not rear arches left so had never actually got to a
track its been a storm.
This is it in its current form. Rear subframe off for archwork. *Some comic photoshoping may have occured.
