Hey everyone, I'm Dan, I saw a link to this site in a car magazine this month and decided to check it out. Most of my cars have been Toyotas, My first car back in '96 was an 85 Camry, then in '98 I got my first Supra, an '88 Turbo. That car went on the shelf after a few years but I always missed it, the one thing it was lacking tho was a Targa Top, so a few years back I bought another 88 with a targa top with the intention of Frankensteining the two together to make one awesome car... It was a lot more work than i expected - the 'new' one I bought had a lot of concealed rust that required me to learn all about bodywork.
Basically dismantled everything and have been working to restore it into one car I can be proud of...
I've spent my free time over the past few summers taking this rust-bucket heap of scrap metal from this (maroon interior and all!) :
(it was a lot of work along the way)
To this:
New leather interior, new carpet, completely rebuilt engine/transmission etc etc...
It's still nowhere near perfect, nor done, this is the first time I'd ever painted a car and I'm planning to redo it this fall having learned so so so many lessons the first time... every imperfection sticks out to me like a sore thumb!
Oh, here's my past Toyotas too:
Everyone in my family has been driving Toyotas since the 80s!
Anyway, It's great to be here, I hope to make some new friends, maybe find meets or something... take care all!
