So yeah that's me! Didn't really aim to buy a supra, always liked them,
but have always been into old fords, but it came to a point, as I'm interested in getting properly into drifting (properly, well more than a capri and an industrial estate)
And I had a mk5 cortina estate, which I offered my bucket seat into.... Really didn't seem right.
Then I was on retro rides, and saw a thread which was "the sergeant" a ma70 build...
Well that got me excited, so I went straight over to eBay, and typed in celica supra.
The first thing that came up was an early ma61, 20ish miles away, with the registration 'sgt
And the opening words to the listing were along the lines of "here we have the sergeant"
Coinkydink or what.. Anyway so I fired an email over, and that Saturday I turned up with some cash and an A frame, and we began to dig it out of it's home for the past decade, which was a stables (pretty Jesus spec) in the garden of a quaint public house.
I've since Taken the interior out, removed a mouse nest, vax'd it all and put it back in, and generally fiddled with a few bits, but anyways I'll save the full lowdown for the project thread!
Anyway so I'm here now, can't really remember how I arrived..
My name is Frank, I'm 24, work as a plumber, love rusty cars.
Probably could of just got away with that ^
