OK so I'm obsessed with getting the car of my dreams. I'm in love with the 90's era toyotas. 6gc Celicas and MKIV Supras baby. lol. Anyway I've been trying to buy myself a supra for under $20k but Im sure you all must know how near impossible that is. I've been all over houston trying to find someone to finance it for me but no dice. I'm beginning to give up. So now I'm thinking maybe I'll get myself another Celica and build that for a bit slower. My problem is that i work evenings as a diesel tech and babysit my kid in the morning so i dont have time to do it. Plus Im not confident in myself enough to build it with quality. lol. These sort of things don't come with reference guides from the dealer.
 So my question is, does anyone know of shops that could take care of it for me? or anyone think they could be up for the task (with experience on it of course. You guys on here do phenomenal work)? I'm sorry i should've specified earlier as well, I would LOVE to have an awd celica. of course. lol. I've heard of guys cutting celicas in half and welding them to gt4 front clips and stuff.... so idk. Input and possible quotes appreciated...

Xander nailed it on the head- they can be found for cheap, and I've even heard that the NA block is better for boosting. Something about oil squirters or something. Most of the high HP builds go single turbo. And financing a 19 year old Toyota with over 100k miles for over $20k, let me know if you EVER find a place that lends you the money. As far as financial institutions are concerned, the Supra is virtually worthless as collateral. Most places won't even lend on cars overb10 years old, if they even bother with that.
