tekeleton1211, How old are you?

You're talking about picking up a Mk4 Twin Turbo. There lies your problem. They don't go for cheap, regardless of the body condition. I've seen ones missing the entire front clip go for more than $7k due to market inflation from "The Fast & The Furious".

The mk3 never came with a factory twin turbo variety in the United States.

well thats not too bad for what i was thinking...i found one on ebay that had flood damage...wont start, hydro locked most likely for 7 but i dont think it was an mk4
fuck that movie man...i knew i should have found a way to get one a while ago...oh well...what do you mean missing the front clip?
thanks

Missing the entire section of the car from the firewall forward, aka the "Front Clip".

Also, if you look at the details for that flood damaged supra (the white 1993), think of all the things that could be wrong. Water could have destroyed inumerable sensors, rusted sections of the motor, etc. It's also an N/A.

Typically I wouldn't EVER jump at a flood damaged vehicle.

If you're really THAT inspired to work on a messed up Supra, look here: http://www.readytofix.com/Inventory/List_2.htm

They've got quite a list. Some would be some hellish repairs, others maybe not so bad.
