- 1989 Supra Turbo, 2002 BMW M5
The supra was bought broken, ugly, ruined.
list of changes/repairs
auto to 5-speed (r154 transmission)
replaced starter
new driveshaft + bearing
replaced/repaired about a trillion wires
new alternator
new ac compressor and clutch, new AC amplifier (still not sure what that was but it cost $200)
also had to replace about half a dozen sensors
you get the point, only things that worked properly are the turbo, the engine and the limited-slip diff (which doesnt count, lol)
Body-wise:
painted from white to black
fixed scratches on roof (lol)
7 dents on driver door
5 on passenger door
huge dents on each rear quarterpanel
replaced hood
motor mount
tranny mount
a zillion other things............
anyway, point is, it was bought utterly ruined and ugly, now it's quite pretty.
Also, it hasn't even got 60k miles. It was left to rot in the sun for Im guessing more than 5 years, at least

Drives like a dream
The M5 is a beauty from 2002.

came missing some parts, temp sensor, cd changer but I replaced them easily thru ebay.
Great car to drive.
I am an ex-pat Brit living in Georgia. These are my first two cars I've actually owned. I remember being 16 and dreaming of driving a vauxhall nova.........
Also, let me know if the pics wont load, I havent sourced from that site before.
