new here, O/M SWSUPRAS

[pres6]

hello everyone here on SM.
name is Jimmy Carter
O/M SWSUPRAS@yahoogroups.com

some of you may know, some not, if you do speak up!

i have been driving and working on supras since i was 14yrs old.
myself and a friend started the SWSUPRAS group after a falling out in the old SW group we have been running since 2001.
currently i have a 86.5 NA, in a million pieces just glass and metal only it has been sitting for over 3yrs (since my son was born) the plan is to put a 1uzfe lexus v8, so for now its all about the free stuff (sanding, prepping, stripping paint, making parts)

i work with fiberglass, metal, wood to make parts for these wonderful cars, i currently working on a few projects to update our wonderful cars stereo systems, like being able to add 6.5" speakers above the rear armrest (have pics if interensted.

so heres my beast...

so, thanks in advance for welcoming me here, BTW, who are the active Mods here?

Welcome Good luck with that Lexus V-8 conversion, that would be nice to see.
There are different Moderators for different areas. I'm sure you willl meet them all. Just read the posting rules so you don't meet them the wrong way.

ya, maybe...... peanut farmer???
when i do complete the swap (it will happen) it should be real nice, my intention is to slap an M90 or M112 SC on it, have to figure out the best method of cooling the charge (trying some new ideas)
for the most part, i just want it perfect, so all the paint, undercoating and anything else that is not metal is coming off.... i am keeping this one forever and hope to give it to my kiddo when he gets old enough...
long way away

anyway, there are not very many questions i can't answer about these cars, or many others...so ask away...

do you have a view from the top???
how do you route the power steering pressure hose....
also the dampner

 

[pres6]

damper? maybe i call it something different?
nothing is routed yet, i had a motor, but sadly i had to sell it for scrap to save my house....
very very sad....
so i do not have that nailed down yet, but my guess is it will all be custom routing and hoses, i am nutz about it looking like it all belongs in there.
