Thank you. Full documentation is the goal, along with making it as clean as possible *shudders at the thought of how much work it's going to take to prep and paint*

yeah, speaking of that.. I'm watching the most recent JZ vids on youtube and this gray pre-89 jza70 making pulls and hitting fuel cut, going WTF inside my head.. Then I look over and see "honestabe" under description lol.
I feel for ya dude, hope you work out the kinks.
My car is actually Light Metallic Blue, aka Gay Blue. Although I guess it's also red too. I'll be ordering an SAFC and boost guage shortly.

Notice Joe didn't say the CAR looks nice, just the wheels lol.
And the car does look nice, BTW. Would be nice to see a head-on shot of the rear so we could see the offset, and how close they sit to the fenders.

The car needs paint. Once I'm done with the boost guage install and the work to the lower oil pan this weekend, I'll start learning how to weld, then start the shaving of the side trim. Gotta make the car ugly to make it beautiful.
I'm sure you don't know, but I used to have a 90 Turbo (it had the exact same motor and tranny as this Supra does BTW).
I remember it! It drove nicely! :biglaugh:
And just looking at the pics, your car would look a lot better if you moved the license plate to the stock location, or got rid of it completely...just my opinion of course...

I know you remember my 90 Johnathan. I still remember the look on your face when you returned and said you weren't even on the gas fully. The stock liscense plate location is getting eliminated. I'm putting a Turbo-A duct repica there.

So long as the liscense plate is on the front of the car, (IE, the bumper somewhere), it's legal. Where it's at right now is legal. Trust me, I asked a cop.

Ok, I feel like a dumbass now. I didn't check to make sure my oil filter was seated properly, and when I fired up the car, oil came gushing out and I ran to shut the motor down. 3 foot puddle of oil under the car, and me mopping it up, not fun. Although I did get the oil pan off and pounded the dents out pretty good, although it's not perfect. I also put a quick coat of spray paint on it to make it look better and hide the scrape marks. And I stripped out the front drivers side bolt to the oil pan (I'm hoping and praying it will be fine without it). I'll get some more oil and kitty litter tomorrow and fix my mistake.
