Ok guys, well it has been far too long since I have posted anything in this thread and I do believe I have some pretty sweet pics of the car on the ground and rolled out of the garage that ya'll haven't seen yet. Unfortunately we are still not done yet as me and my dad both have been busy doing other stuff on the weekends, which as you know is the only time we have right now to work on it. Thats all about to change though as I will be home for the summer after this coming Thursday and will have all the time I need to finish up. That is unless I start working with Jay again and he makes me work like a slave for him! hahaha. Just playing, but seriously Jay, if you need the help (cause I know I need the money), just holla at cha boy! :naughty:

Anyways, we got some parts to freshen up the engine and really all that I am missing now is a coil, which I will be ordering from someone on SF later this week. Once that gets in and we put the new water pump, timing belt, spark plugs, etc. on the engine, it will be ready to be dropped back in and maybe even fired up! I do have to replace a few plugs on the engine harness though before I do that. Thankfully I have all of them at the house on a couple other harnesses, I just gotta cut them off of one and splice them onto mine. Then hopefully no engine codes since it will have to be re-inspected and if it's throwing anything, it won't pass. But if there are any, I will just wire in some resistors for now! LOL.

We also got the rear quarter panel pulled out to pretty much where it needs to be and it just lacks some body work which won't take very long. I still gotta get the driver's side tail light, but other than that the rear bumper will be able to be put on and it should be ready for paint.

So, getting VERY close now! Shouldn't take long once I finish up with this year of school and go home to know it out!

This is directly copied from another forum, so if it sounds a little weird just ignore it! hahaha.



Well, as it turns out, I did get to do a little bit of work to the good ole supra today! NOT much, but I did reach a huge goal in all for the car. That was putting the car back on the ground and pulling it out of the garage for the first time since it's went in there. And that happened!!! I was soooo stoked!

We FINALLY put the steering rack in and bolted everything that had to do with it up. Once that was done, I was able to put the wheels back on and we pulled it out in the sunshine to put the windsheild in permanently.

Once the windshield was in, we put the hood back on and called it a day. The motor will be going in very soon now!! Enough of me rambling though, onto the pics.


Here she is for the first time in the sun in months!!!

Another huge high point and goal reached on the car was me taking the targa top off for the first time since I have owned the car. I have been dreading it from day one, cause I have feared that it got pinched in from the wreck. From my GREAT relief, I loosed the bolts, and it popped right off without a hitch!!!!

This build up is just straight up nasty!
I go through it everyday just to be amazed yet again, very good work and hard work at that in this build. Lots of kudos.
