Our environmental control is still such an epic fail at the office I worked from today that I had to wear a jacket in there.

Still I had my thermostat housing I picked up from the mechanics to keep me company

Awesome news Casey.

Well mine is slowly ticking over, have been sanding the casting marks out of the thermostat housing and cover, thrilling stuff.

Oh and in throes of organising some parts for the motor finally.

Though, my engine builder wants to do it high comp, like 9.0:1.

No parts have been bought to commit to this yet though

Yep, and the only thing that is motivating me to do it is the fact that its only a few pieces that need to be done.

Going to investigate clear coating the pieces so they are low maintenance.

It seems everyones builds are ticking over lately, what is everyones completion date? Mine is simply this year. 2009 could be The Year of The Supra

To all those in aus that have been quiet what have you been upto lately?

Am trying to sort out financials, and hope to have the car at least running right to trailer up to Sydney for the NSWSC Dyno Day at Gas... I doubt any MkIIIs are going, so may have a chance at the MkIII trophy (yes, even with my stock CT26!)

After that, I am planning to have her registered for the drive to Dubbo for Toyota Nationals.

I'm not holding my breath or crossing fingers any of this will happen though.

So this means you are not selling her after all?
