Thanks for all the positive comments.
Parking has always been an issue. Some cars are left outside.
The White Supra just has a rebuilt non turbo motor. A mild port a polish. Nothing too extreme. I will eventually put a 1JZGTE into it. It has Kaminari sides and rear bumper, Bomex front bumper.
The Grey Supra has a rebuilt turbo motor, much more aggresive port and polish. Everything from the HKS catalogue, (IC, Downpipe, Exhaust, HG). 60-1Trim Turbo with turbonetics exhaust housing. Apexi AVCR boost controllor. Full bomex kit.
Celica has a Greddy Supercharger with Ultimat EManage. Full TRD kit.
My plans for the Soarer is just a SARD exhaust and a Vertex kit. It needs some paint. Seems like it has been in a slight accident prior to my owning it. Thus the rear bumper doesn't match. The front grill came broken, so I removed it. I have a new one but did not install it yet since a vertex is going on. I already put the 18" rims onto her and my NAV unit.
Anyone want to buy a Nakamichi head unit and/or CD Changer?
When I was shopping for this car, it had to be a 1998 or newer SC400. I had to have the VVTi 1UZFE motor, since wanted the newer body style and I did not want the 2JZGE. (IF I had that motor, with the Supras I would just want to put a 2JZGTE motor into it. and I don't need or want any more engine swap projects). Seems like a natural evolution for MK3 owners to get into Z30 cars. I'm enjoying the car.

Nice stable. Serious parking problem.
But you've still got a ways to go - you need an MR2, a slammed LS400, a tricked-out Tundra, a vintage Land Cruiser, and a mint Corona 4-door
And a Cressida! And the Land Cruiser needs to be a diesel RHD. Very collectible.

Would a tricked out TRD Supercharged 1997 4Runner suffice? This was taken when it was serving camera duty at a Socalsupras meet. So I think I'm OK on the truck end. It's my parts runner and it was my daily driver. My new daily now is the SC.
Right now I would love a FJ Cruiser and thinking about importing a Toyota Reiz (Chinese made LHD MarkX). But parking is a SERIOUS problem.
Both Supras are 1987s, with all the 89+ trimmings. (Tail lights, moldings, interior, front bumpers.)
It took me a few years to build all these cars. They didn't happen over night. This is the reason why the SC is still somewhat stock. I just slowly and strategically funnel money towards the appropriate projects. Some people spend alot of money drinking, partying, clubbing, playing golf, etc. I play with the cars. I use to collect little hot wheels when I was younger, (actually, I was a JDM toy snob, I only played with Tomica cars by Tomy back in the day). Then I started putting Tamiya models together, this is the next and final evolution!
Thanks again for all the comments, I look forward to meeting some of you guys next Thursday at Autobacs.

i actually like your celica a lot. i think it looks really good. i'm not really a mk3 fan to be honest with you, because most of them were built before i was born haha. i really do like the celica though, the kit and everything. i bet it flies too
