[Supras] 153857

[Sean Cavanaugh]

i got my new supra from a loosing auction. got out bid at last minute but sniper couldnt cover it. besides i had already been in constant contact with owner over getting the car. sold it to me for my initial "end auction now" price. just gotta finish fixing it. got nuts/bolts to put front bumper back on. fabing some brackets to hold aftermarket intercooler in PROPER place this weekend as well as trying to legalize my divorced downpipe. turbo has been sent off for rebuild/upgrade to double BB assembly. some electrical wiring for optima battery and run some new hoses and its good to go.
