nope sold all the parts off the lara. couldnt afford the lara payments after the divorce and they took my license for two years lol. the supra actually has a custom pearl paint job. i will have to take some pictures on a sunny day. im stoked about this project. i already got intake parts and filter for it. a bov and regulator and boost gauge and redid all the vacume line due to a rough run. then onto some cosmetic stuff

Shweet. Just make sure the head gasket is attended to, those 5M/7M ones love to blow.

Yes they do. My brothers was changed already, and the head was rebuilt about a month ago.

had to order the green couplers from the u.k. pretty expensive but you never see engine bays in green so i went for it
