Finally finished my 86.5 1JZ

[Bigzavs]

its taken me about 16 months from getting the shell out of a junkyard and buying my 1JZ (whole clusterfuck there)

heres the body and motor before i tore it down for paint and modifications

and here it is after the paint job and changing up the motor and stuff

no interior pics yet as its still pretty messy in there

o and the color is Toyota code 1C6 - Graphite Grey Pearl, and it is not yet sanded and buffed out yet, so its not as shiny right now as it will be

[suprastanger507mgte]

Awesome. I like your front bumper treatment and the choice of paint. Engine bay is subtle and clean as well. A+ and congrats on finishing it to enjoy now

thanks for the compliments, went to start it tonight and found the front 3 injectors leaking from the o-rings, couple that with it being 106 in my garage, and i didnt get around to fixing it tonight and getting it running again

 

[bigaaron]

[Ronald]

Looks awesome...

But why not leave the shiny valvle covers/spark plug covers polished and unpainted; to match the turbo and whatnot?

Still it looks MEAN :evil2:

looks amazing. i was shocked to see the before and after. looked like a completly different car. great job

well i was gonna paint match them to the body, but we used so much paint on the car that there was none left to use on the covers. and i had already media blasted them at work, so i found a color that was pretty close and sprayed em. i might polish them again down the road, but for now ill just keep em painted

 

[Bigzavs]

and for now, till i clean it up more inside, this is the only interior shot that i have, found a 90 shell with mint interior at a junkyard and snagged all of it for 30 bucks, and the seats are not real brides, im not rolling that hard, original owner had ordered them that way, i just know that they hold like crazy

 

[Ronald]

paint matched or polished, still looks good either way...

I like the "bride" seats... had me fooled until I read the comment with the pics. The color of them is perfect for the car. Is the bride emblem just stitched on or something?

 

[Bigzavs]

ya its stitched into the material, i might recover them sometime down the road and leave off the Bride emblem, but thatll be way down the road
