wow, what did you do to restore that luster?

Ohh jeeze... You really should test fit it all before you do anything major. While your at it, consider making the dash wires shorter so you can mount the ECU in the stock location. As for the black engine bay, do like I did if you want a quick finish. POR-15. I got a quart of black, did a...

What are you doing to the harness?

Are you going to keep the engine bay white? Dude, that garage is packed hoarder style! hahaha My shop used to be like that, I got fed up with it knocked down a wall threw everything out and put a new garge door in.

I figured this topic would come along at some point after seeing more and more people doing this. If you have any dents or ripples in your sheet metal it will show like a sore thumb. It may be easy to lay down, but with no prep work just like paint it wont be clean. PLUS, consider all the body...

The doors on the Supra are HEAVY, its possible do get it done but you will be spending some good coin on a system just to keep them secure. Plus, your car being a targa, it would'nt be a good idea. The doors are an important part of the body, expecially when the targa is off. So having them flex...

Thanks, yea I want to see more on that engine re-build you are doing! Good stuff there!

Hahaha! I looked at the orange shirt and it didnt even compute! Oooo whats inside those boxes?

Cool! If you haven’t yet, check out Rockauto.com. They have a lot of parts for the 1UZ (SC400), I get my tune up parts (plugs/wires/cap/rotors/oil filters) there. And the NGK wire set is a good investment, quality is good and they go right where the factory ones go. Look into a brass...

Nice! Jackstand city in that last pic! Are you still doing a bumper dump?

This one would be good for you: http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-7mgte57trimturbokit.php That last kit you posted is way to much for ebay stuff in my opinion. Spend a little more and get a quality kit.

You're welcome, yea the VVTI engines are way off vs the non VVTI ones. If you havent allready, check out the links in my sig for help wiring etc. But I'm on here often and can awnser questions directly too. Been rocking the 1UZ in my Supra for over 30k miles now. Shooting to make some real...

When I need to clean any parts I use simple green/ marine clean, wire brush, water, and a bunch of junk towels/ paper towels. But the best way would be to tank it in a cleaning solution, any machine shop that does engine work should have a parts cleaner or know somone who does. Progress looks...

After you get your engine in and running work on suspension right after that. If you plan on doing autocross and the like; coil overs, poly bushings, steering rack spacers, LSD rear, tires, etc... would be your best investment. BUT, it is your car and your money so do what ever you want in what...
