1: So ... I *MIGHT* have a problem.... (a.k.a. rescuing a Mk3 Supra from a junkyard, and 2 more 7Ms)

In this video, I catch you up on what I have been up to for the past week. My new project Supra arrived after struggling to find a reliable transporter, along with two more 7Ms (huge thanks to Jared Pink of ‪@TheQuestionableGarage‬ who gave these to me!): one complete, and one long block.
The transporter in this video is Jeff Miller of JM Transporting, LLC. You can reach him at [phone], [e-mail], or on his social media at @jm_transporting. He truly was a lifesaver. After being let down three times in a row, I called him (once again, thanks to Jared! He gave me this recommendation!) Jeff was in New Jersey and headed straight for Florida and picked up my engines, then over to grab this car and I saw him in two days. He sent me his driving itinerary on Waze, and I got to watch him drive across the country on the shared maps so I could always know where my car was. He didn't pay me for a shout out, and I didn't ask for a discount to promote him, he was just a really good, honest, hardworking human and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for covered transportation at a good price.
To see if there is something RAD at a Pull-A-Part near you, check here: www.pullapart....
This 1988 Mk3 Supra was for sale car at the Pull-A-Part in Mobile, Alabama, and this was the actual asking price. Full disclosure: Pull-A-Part comp'ed the price of this car for me in exchange for some work, and I am VERY VERY GRATEFUL FOR THEM for doing so. Had they not, I still would have bought this car and shouted them out because their yards are ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AWESOME. And I have had amazing luck there, every time that I go. This all worked out absolutely amazingly, and I couldn't be happier with my new project.
Thanks everyone who was a part of this and who uplifted my spirits this week, especially Danny and Shop Mom of Hill Country Performance & Machine! I am so blessed and so grateful!!

After saving that pair of 7ms from the scrapper and seeing you able to save them even more as a base for rebuilding a car you pulled from deaths jaws at the scrap yard almost makes me want to get a third a70 and keep it 7m.

So we just bought a 87 Supra Turbo. Wheels are dry rotted. Does not start. Been sitting for 6+ years. Never wrenched a car in my life and my son just started auto shop as a senior in high school. Super excited to watch more of your videos. We were already excited but your enthusiasm and excitement just sent it to the next level. We just happen to be San Antonio Area too, our engine might be visiting the shop up there :)

[@trainstractorscarsandtruck7362]

So jealous 30 years ago when I bought my first car, the first one I looked at was a Supra. Passed on it because it was rear wheel drive living in Northern Canada. As I grew older I realized what a mistake I made passing it up. As always wonderful vids and wonderful choice of car. Hope all goes smoothly for you on a wonderful build

[@dpolendo]

Thanks Faye! Thank you for showing your hours worth of labor and searching and cutting it down to a minutes long video. Very fun! Great editing. We can't wait to see the end result.

[@anthonywang9458]

This video is just what I needed, I'm currently a Toyota Technician and my very first car was a 1987 Toyota Supra, targa top, same color. It's what inspired me to start learning about cars and eventually making it my career path. It's been sitting for the past five years and I've lost motivation to fix it but seeing this video and your enthusiasm about the build has reignited my own drive, so thank you

Hey Faye, awesome find at $2400 that’s a steel all day long that’s so great you’re bringing it back to life there’s just something about those cars I had an 88 and I remember thinking when I had it that you could drive it normal and it was really super quiet and very much like a luxury car but take the Targa top off give it some beans then you could really hear the exhaust and it was a full-blown sports car and I thought to myself how did they do that…….. Toyota that one word really says a lot. Looking forward to more videos on this have a great one🐔🐔🐔👍

When I saw the title of this video I couldn't wait to get home and watch it. Faye got another Supra, wow and when I saw that it was targa top with a manual transmission I was amazed, then when you opened up the hood and noticed it was a 7m ge non turbo I was kinda disappointed. The good thing is that at least you have a 7m gte for it. I'm still waiting to see the other Supra project. BIG SHOUT OUT TO DANNY AND SHOP MOM for giving you the opportunity to get it done in their shop. They are awesome human beings, God bless them and you Faye. Continue your journey of success.

I half regret selling my 87 turbo. Built engine with forged internals, mild cams, 57 trim ct26, hard pipes, etc. I had a mint original interior with a working factory TEMS. Other than engine and performance mods, the rest of the car was original at 89,000 miles. I had rims on it but I had the original turbo rims. Sold it in Hawaii to move to Texas. If I can find a shell, I will definitely build a mk3 again.

I too enjoy a turbo engine. They make the same engine in NA,and there are differences. On my car, the block has oil squirters, and I think that the NA block doesnt have them. The turbo crank and cams are nitride coated, but the NA are not. Im not positive, but I think all g54b motors have forged pistons, but it could be that the NA are not forged. My car also has stelite valves, but I think thats turbo onlly, but also I could be wrong. What are the differences between NA and turbo on the 7m?

Who junks a 1988 Supra? LIke really??? They are some of the most iconic Toyota sports cars ever made. I can imagine that if you didn't snatch it up then and there, that car would have been gone in a day. Personally i like to see these cars in stock form. And i give you alot of props for wanting to put the car back to the way it was built from the factory. Supra's of this vintage are so rare that honestly when people trick them all out, i breaks my heart.
