Hello everybody! I have been lurking around this site for awhile and fingered I should just join up. I have an 88 mk3 and I'm doing the famous 1jz swap. I cant wait to get her back on the road. I'm so close to finishing I can almost hear the turbo spool. I do have some tech questions that I will be posting in the correct forum and thanx in advance for our help. Here are some pics of my car(Christine)

I'll reserve judgement on you though seeing you're a Stephen King fan!
(one of my old cars was nicknamed Christine as it had a LOT of electrical gremlins and would do some weirdass shit)
Welcome to SM!

LOL this car has been a nightmare since day one when It blow up on the highway driving it home from the guy I bought it from. 10 years later and I still love it, glutton for punishment I guess. So I thought that Christine after Stephen King would be very appropriate.
Welcome!
I think red cars are bad luck. But thats just me. A lot of them still seem to have very good paint tho.
Although you have a very Clean car and regulas kit(iirc).
How did you do the shave? Bondo or metal filler? YOu going to do the rest or leave it like that?

Its mostly metal but you can't escape bondo. I want to do the rest at least the back, I would like to somehow blend in the front but I have not gotten that far. I was doing the body when my 7m blow up so on to the 1j. and yes red cars are very bad luck lol
