Yeah after spending like an hour and a half moving stuff haha I found it easier to push the supra out rather than move everthing around it.

I even have a carpet under the supra :icon_bigg

AWESOME work man!

if you dont mind me asking how much was the machining work? decking the head and block, ect??

did you have the machine shop hone the block or did you hone it at home?

thanks, i need to find a cheaper shop.. i paid 350usd to get my head and valve covers done. granted its was a 2.8l bmw head, but a head is a head right?

did they hone the cylinders also?

I got bored so me and one of my roommates did this...

heres a little teaser of what the complete motor will look like :icon_bigg

My buddy had to add in the "secret shocker" lol
A few more things are still going to be painted red to match :naughty:

 

[slightly_red_MA70]

Okay, pretty much I have no money right now. All my very minimal earnings are going towards rent/bills/food. But with all the materials I have at home right now I have been able to do a little bit of work. I have been doing some bodywork on the supra, old spoiler holes filled, antenna delete, rear wiper delete, headlight sprayer delete, and front emblem delete.

Here are some pics of the bodywork...

I tinted my turn signals and painted the front grill and "TOYOTA" logo metallic black

I decided that I didnt like the way my tail lights looked...So I gave them a quick spray of tint...

Its not the best picture. And they now have 3 coats of clear on them, 1 more coat then I will polish them and they should be perfect :icon_bigg


And just for the hell of it heres some engine pics

Thats all for now folks. Hopefully I will soon have the funds to finish the motor :3d_frown:

 

[slightly_red_MA70]

Guess what people......Last week I went from having no job to having two jobs!!! So now I have money muahahahaha lol

and....

I GOT MY ENGINE BEARINGS ORDERED!!!!! So hopefully this week or next week the motor will be completely put together then all I need is a clutch and the motor and trans will be going back in the car. I am probably getting a few smaller parts that I need from a member on here who is very generous and I am very thankfull for him doing this stuff for me to get my car running!

The first start-up is near!!!

 

[arizzle]

dude thats sick!!! cant wait! im hoping to have mine running this weekend! or during the week!

 

[VanSupra]

Keep up the good work Brent ..

 

[mecevans]

why is it necessary to swap dash harness? also curious how just an upgraded clutch will do.

congrats on the job(s)

 

[upgradedsupra]

It's nice to hear this is still moving along Brent!

For the turbo guage cluster, there was different connections on the turbo that the N/A didnt have. There were also a few clips that were different.

And thanks!
