Next Project Begins

[amekaji87]

Got another supra, MK III. Got this one for free and had it towed to the house for free too. Had a blown head gasket. Replacing the motor and doing a few small things too. Down the road I'm going to replace the exhaust and possibly the transmission, but I don't know about that yet. Intercooler work will be done as well but I'm just trying to get her on the road for now. Pulled the motor out the other night. Cleaned out the bay a little today and will start replacing a few things on the motor tomorrow. I'll drop them, motor and tranny, back in within the next week...I hope. Here's some pics. I'll hold off on the interior pics till the end..that's the best part.

Before I started cleaning the bay..remember, this is just a quick motor replacement so I can get her on the road, not for show or anything (this is for the anal retentive guys that see this thread!). Will finish with the bay tomorrow and jack it up to get underneath the car. As you can see I've got a little work to do, but for free, it's worth it. These gay rims have got to go though so if anyone has some rims for sale let me know, I'll be checking around for some in the mean time.

Pics after I washed out the bay some -- final pics to come tomorrow of cleaned out bay.

Also have some pics of the motor I ordered from tigerjapanese.com (it's an 89-90). and the pics of the old motor and tranny. Oh, if you noticed the fan blades broken off the "new" motor, don't worry, I already have my electric fans waiting to be installed.
