Looks familiar. Must be a flaw with that quarter panel... maybe a factory recall?

I got a restored shell with urethane bushings and lowering springs. Only thing is I want 2000 for it. I'll even throw in a 10.8:1 motor and trans in the deal. Cwhammer was gonna come get it but needed back surgery.

Pleeaaseee! Out of all things decent don't smack walls with this one!!! Us fellows in the rust belt have wet dreams of rust free floor supports . . . . Mirrors that stay on to a soild door. And most important when you jack the car the "whole" car goes up. . . Hate to see clean Z's put in harms way now a supra who gives a **** lmao
