Hi,
if it's appropriate, I'm speaking better English than Deutsch :)
In general I'm Toyota guy - from Starlet KP60 to Soarers and Crown/Corona models - in Osnabrück area.
Have Supra JZ80 project, mostly bare shell - collecting all missing pieces. A lot of work to be done, but that's what the projects are about sometimes.

Hey man, welcome to the forums. That will be a long term project for sure, but I´m keen on seeing the process! Good luck with it and I hope you share as much as possible here. :)

Hey, welcome and all the best for your Supra Project!
What is the percentage of parts you have already collected?

Are you trying to restore it to OEM spec or modify it to your liking?

Thanks for the warm welcome!
Actually I bough the car for my son, he's also interested in restoring to at least stock condition.
Probably will covert to 6-spd BMW diesel gearbox and if have chance - 2JZ-GTE in the future. There are some mods in the papers already, but didn't came with the car - I would like to find and install them (lowering springs and rims). In general I'm using Soarer for engine donor (2JZ-GE) and suspension parts.
So far the most trouble is to find engine hood and rear bumper, also my front bumper and front fenders are GRP/FRP in stock shape, no idea is this problem for TÜV (the car already is having german papers). Will need advices how to proceed with these and where to get TÜV approval, if I go for carbon hood etc.
The interior is not complete, also some pieces are damaged.

At least we are having a lot of experience with Soarer tech already, but still the project will be epic, hope to finish in near future.

Are you UK military stationed in Germany? There used to ne quite a few soldiers in Osnabrück and surroundings. I am from Ostwestfalen, so not too far away. We could meet for some coffee and I can introduce you to some Supra owners from the area

Thanks Japanfanatic, will be nice!
No, I'm not from military nor from UK. Just happens to drive some RHD cars as JDM fan (some were never produced as LHD versions also). Also imported from UK.

I'm into fabrication also, some fun I started more than 15 years ago when I bought AE86. Seems will continue with Supra parts, as OEM ones are made of unobtanium ...

Hey @jamiemirror I have an OEM Front Bumper Pre-Facelift in my garage, if you are interested. It needs some work and new paint but I guess this will be no problem for you. I can send you some pictures, if you want.

Good luck on the build for your son!

@Ben  I'm definitely interested, have 2 bumpers but still prefer to go for OEM one. Please share photos / price in PM.

@ANKRacing Well, jain :) The car was sold but the buyer never finished the deal and asked for papers (so they are mine - means the car is mine), then I found her re-sold at some other place. Already damaged a lot, still possible to recover, but not under my control at the moment. Anyways I decided to restart parts fabrication for the model too, using 3D printing for some (ITB/Weber/bike carburetor adapters for the classic engine etc) :)

For Supra most interesting so far is gearbox implant and conversion, will try custom Kardanwelle fabrication for BMW boxes, need somebody to measure for me the Kardan from TT Auto.
