Hello All,
I am (hopefully) purchasing a 82 Celica Supra this afternoon. So far everything on the car checked out. Its amazingly a one owner car and it looks really clean. I came to this site to try to find details about what mechanical problems to look for when buying an 82 and so far it has been quite useful. The car is 100% stock which I am pretty excited about. I may want to make a few modifications to the car but I want it to look stock on the outside. I don't like cars with lots of visual modifications. If anyone wants to throw in their .02 about 82's id appreciate it. Ill also follow up this post with a picture of the car if I get it. I have wanted a Supra/Celica Supra since the first time I saw one. When I was in highschool I thought I wanted a mkiv with the twin turbo an all that. Over the years I have developed a strong affinity for early 80's cars. I am also a fan of the 280z but its become my dream to get a mkii. This seems like a really good place to learn from people with a lot more experience than me and make sure I take good care of this car assuming everything works out. I currently own an Impreza 2.5i, and before that I had a 99 Prelude that was a lot of fun but just didn't quite fit me.
