I like the looks, only question is if it'll have a manual or not. Which I think it's best to think of the new Supra more as the beefed up FR-S/86 everyone wanted more so than an actual Supra successo...

I've never owned an automatic made past the 70's so I can't say beyond taking it apart and having a look, I can't imagine it'd be too hard to dismantle though. Hardest part will be taking off the shi...

Unless there's someone with new old stock that wasn't thrown away, your only place to get a replacement will be from a parts car. Maybe could use the same piece from another car of the era, or make o...

Because of my knock knees I have to heel on the brake and toes on the throttle, so toe heel.

Have you adjusted any slack there might be in the throttle cable? There's also many ways to "heel toe", you might find it easier in certain cars to instead keep your heel more parallel towards the fl...

With a multi-meter, check for continuity and resistance. If where the grounds go to the body are rusty clean them off, any connectors for wiring if they're corroded clean them off. Now when it's not...

Grounds, power wire to the starter, battery terminal connectors. How are all of those? Corrosion could be your problem, especially living in an area that uses salt on the road.

What you really have to worry about though is them collapsing. Next time it's hot and up to operating temp move the throttle body by hand or have someone rev it from inside the car and watch the hose...

It just looks like the rubber is distressed where it's swelling, spots of weakness as it seems like the swelling is predominantly there. Rubber hoses are only good for about 5 years depending on use,...

Most of the epoxy paints I've seen are gloss, though a few meant for roll bars and chassis are more satin. There's also epoxy primer which would be flat or matte. Though I want to say most wiper arm...

As far as the wiper arms go I'd use epoxy paint since it's used on bare metal, so no primer and it doesn't need clearcoat, that and it's super tough and will probably look pretty close to stock. Rust...

The hole is in the honeycomb matrix? If so means it's blowing out and needs replaced.

How many miles has it been since the rebuild? Supposed to change the fluid and filter every 25,000 miles or so.
