Started building her. Replaced the wheels with 18" bbs style wheels. Replaced the springs with H&R race springs. Replacing all the rear bushings this weekend. Rear toe rod bushings on the rear knuckle are shot. I get a lot or rear toe changes when accell and decell. I think I'll replace all the bearings in the 1jzgte just to be safe along with getting rid of the hydro fan asym. Way too much clutter for a fan drive system.
Trying to find a new p/s pump as the one on the car whines when you raise the rpm and turn the wheel, and to no avail I can't find any suction leaks to the pump. More annoying than anything. Also getting the seats repadded, The bolsters are shot on both sides top and bottom.
I'll put some pics up this weekend with the progress.

There are some pics of when I got it from roundfinger. Found her for sale on this site. Car came out of nw Fl. The H&R springs made a world of difference in the car. The intrax springs on it made it sit nose high.
I hope I have the arbors to press the rear suspension bushings out or looks like I'll have to brake the lathe out and make them.
