I just go onto this site about 2 weeks ago. I own a 1984 Toyota Supra that was painted yellow about 3 years ago. I have owned it for about 1 &1/2 years now and have had no problems except the front right brake caliper is leaking alot of brake fluid. The left door is also jammed and i cant fix it. I have heard this is a common problem. I am trying to find chrome headers and a performance exhaust that will boost the hp. i am also considering a body kit...but that will come later. I will be needing some help soon on a few things and bits.;) c ya!

Welcome to the club! I wouldn't call a left door jammed a common problem. Do you have an idea if this jam was caused by hardware failure (hinge or latch), electrical issue (lock), or even perhaps an accident causing structural change?
As for a body kit, I'd wait until the vehicle is in perfect working order before springing the cash on a kit. I looked into getting one for my mkii that I had and It's not cheap at all. You're looking for at least $1500 US for the pieces and shipping, then fitment, install, and paint on top of that.

welcome to the club.
If the door is jammed because of worn hinges, then yes that is common. unfortunetly there aren't really any cheap widely available hinges/pins available that i know of. But i know some stuff from other toyotas will work, and i believe passenger and driver side hinges are swappable, which is nice cuz the passenger doors are normally good.
Getting body kits for the mk2 is a pita, but they can still be found online from time to time. A couple of them require a lot of work to make them fit right though, poor fitment.

The passenger and driver side hinges are not swapable. I thought this too untill I tried it. Turns out the holes on the body side are at a slight angle and don't line up on the opposite side.

There's a yellow 84 P in a lot on the side of the train tracks here.
How yellow is yours?

The door on my Supra is locked because of the little plastic piece on the inside of the door broke and then i locked my car from the outside and it is now stuck. I wasn't planning on a bodykit just yet because there is fixing to do before any kits or paint. Go to my profile pictur and you can see the car. Mine won't be the one in a lot.
