That looks like it is in good condition and I could probably get it for as little as $400. The car has no rust and has rodknock.
I keep being told mk3 is not a race-car its a GT built for comfort and speed. However, I don't think that is 100% true, and with enough time it could be a prime canidate for both impressive ET's and impressive looks and handling.
I guess I'm wondering if I should go with 1jz or 2jz. That car is an NA so I would insure it as such, any problems there? That would be a lot cheaper than a chevelle or cutlass which I was looking at earlier. My budget would initially be $6000. $5,600 after I buy the car, that leaves a good ammount for a swap.
So, how difficult is each swap overall and in comparison to eachother?
What are the pros and cons of going 1jz?
Pros/Cons 2jz?
Overall price, with everything you need, will it even be THAT much different between the 2?
Thanks a lot, I really would like to get into supra community by finally becoming an owner, but I don't want to be dissapointed with the car I end up with. I've been obsessing over these cars for over a year and now I finally have the money to go through with it.
Thanks for any well-thought responses.

P.S. random question... when removing the crash bars in mk3, how dangerous is it if you get in an accident and how much weight do you save? Would installing a roll-cage make it just as safe or safer than before? Thanks.
Edit - I meant to put this up in the swap section, very sorry mods.
