I meant your '85 Supra.  My '87 Supra project has been on the back burner for about 2yrs now, I am hoping to get back to it his fall.

Oh duh. I'm a tard sometimes, haha. Yeah the Supra is definitely clean and in great shape. However there are a few minor interior flaws I'd like to take care of, and while the body is straight, there are a LOT of tiny imperfections, especially on the front clip from rocks and what not. There is one kind of major ding on the passenger door from when my gf let the heavy door swing open on a hill and it slammed into a concrete wall, putting a good 2-3" long, 1/2" dent right in the door. The rest is all mechanical. Fix/upgrade AC, probably going to need new gears eventually, and maybe tweak the 5MGE or even turbo it for shits and giggles. Mainly the body and paint, everything else is kind of "fix as you go" since it is my daily driver ATM. I have just seen some REALLY clean Supras and I'd like mine to look that good. More of a 1/4 resto project... don't plan to strip it all down or anything, its in much better shape than that.
