I love the underbody color combination with the subframes and the suspension arms - you realize detailing the car will now involve a hoist, don't you ;)

Great work...when do you expect to completely finish? (My target date was a week ago....new target is next spring)

^^^Thanks, my target date is before you ;)

J/K

I would like to have the exterior done by the end of this month. I would like to have the entine car done by summer next year.

How real is that? I don't know. I have a wife and a baby. My biggest expense is the unexpected ones :D

^^^ LMAO... :D:D:D:D:D:D Sorry.

*Drum roll*

Update!!!!

Car is almost all in one piece. Rear spoiler is on. Front bumper, nose, etc are on. I had to wait until I got the toyota parts (some were from LA), new 92 emblem and gaskets for the spoiler, Which BTW.....

Gaskets for rear spoiler - Garbage!!!!!! I got ALL new gasket for the rear spoiler. $150 + IIRC - Garbage!!!! First off, they DO NOT look like the old ones, second of all, only the sides fit good, but require trimming. The sides, what a mess...I had to trim a LOT!!!

Back to update. I got new spoiler support clips as well.

Got the Rack & Pinion glassblasted, as well as other parts. Pics of that soon.


On another note... after several months of sanity and being firm on doing a 7M Twin Turbo, I'm having change of heart again :nono: and am seriously considering on going 2JZ w/ HKS Twin Turbo Kit (or at least single for now), what do you guys think???

no no, not afraid of going 7M. Is about build what I like. That's what I've been doing with the car. I just love the 2JZ as much if not more then the 7M and it took me a LONG time to decide which route to take and now I'm flakie again.

The 7M can be a love/hate thing at times and its hard to agrue against 2jz. I understand your dilema, but a twin'd 7M would certainly be the road less traveled.
