I'm out of looking for a new Datto as my insurance company has decided to reject the claim on my junked Supra. (06 alcohol reading)
I had negotiated to buy this one for $15k a couple of weeks ago, I even arranged to get it back to Sydney Timing strikes again Could sue, but lawyers cost a fortune and probably couldnt win

Ok it was a lefty but it was near new condition 2 Seater with all the RHD parts.
Buy of the milenium for someone.
It's unfortunate the Japanese were not into rust treatment back then. Any car with that much visible rust will probably have twice as much out of sight.
In Zeds, Always check the gutter above the door passengers side, when parked on a street all the condensation in the roof runs to there-and gets trapped.(until it makes holes to escape)
71 project in rough shape $9500, thats rough!
Havent been on here for a couple of years, went Toyota supra for a while,
junked it, waiting on insurance, and looking for a Z,
Prices not getting any cheaper for good ones.- or bad ones.
Ahh! that famous picture from the retired engineers home ( locked security ward)- all expressing surprise/ hilarity when told " automotive design/engineering has moved on since 1969"
sick of looking through listings of overpriced rust buckets, (and 2+2s, doesn't matter if they had rust- I prefer rust to a datto with an afterthought back seat ) Are people really that insane $$$$ went for some class instead, bought a 2000 Supra TT
American,their manuals usually don't even get close to what you will get out of a Haynes(and Haynes don't rate next to a factory manual). but If it's free, grab it, you will probably get something out of it.
You would have trouble trying to convince a scrap metal dealer to pick that up! Wasting your time trying to give the kiss of life once rigor mortis has set in.
