So ill just get one from a truck.

So, the latest...
Went to the junk yard, and found an evap cannister out of an early 90's corolla that I liked.
Obviously, it's smaller than the Supra's. It may even be the same one found in the 90's trucks, no sure. I was able to remove the bottom plate on each, and can simply swap over the drain assembly from the larger can. I was going to cut up and modify my original bracket, but then I got sidetracked...
My carpet arrived.
Looks like two totally different shades, depending on the lighting, but it's charcoal molded carpet, with optional mass backing, and super plush upgrade. I'm glad I opted for massback, because apparently, the oem carpet had it as well, although not as thick. I got about 2/3 finished trimming and fitting it, but it's actually alot of work to get it right. I have to work most of this week, so hopefully I'll get a chance to finish it by the weekend, and can show off some pics. Interior will be two-tone(obviously), with the seat centers and front/rear door panel inserts all recovered to match the carpet, which I tried to match as closely as I could to shadow grey.

Well, not much has been done lately.
I've been working alot, and only had a couple hours today to play with it, so I worked on the evap cannister.
Cut the original mount, and welded the smaller bracket to it.
Then installed it.
Also, I pulled the car out of the garage, changed the oil, and played with the Maft pro a bit, but got nowhere. For some reason, it's running really rough now,
so I'm dealing with that. Then, it suddenly became Leak day. My oil pan drain bolt was dripping a bit, so I changed out the washer with a different type.
Then after running it a bit, I found that my valve covers weren't tight enough, and were leaking oil onto the ground. Then I found that I was leaking from my remote oil mount- I had never tightened up the center filter bung, which holds it onto the Earl's themostat. THEN, I heard a hissing noise from my radiator. My left rad bracket had dug into the aluminum, and created a pinhole. Now I need it welded. Great day.
