Very nice looking Supra.
Love the exterior look without the spoiler + the colour.
Not a fan of the interior at first, but it did grow on me.
Good luck with the build, I've done an NA to NA swap in my shed at home and currently doing a turbo.
I know you're pain hahah.

Wow. I skipped over this thread on account of how so many people egos let them call their car "clean". This is definately NOT the case here. Car looks great, my only two nit-picks are the E-break cover and handle are showing the age and the box for your subs just looks out of place. Im loving the look of the black carpet contrasting your interior too.

I really like the brown with the chrome wheels. I don't know what it is but it's a classic cool look.
I'd go buy some black vacuum hose at the parts store and ditch that yellow stuff.

Very nice looking though!

As for the clunk/vibration I'd check the U-joints to see if there's any play as that could be a symptom.

had a problem with the power steering pressure hose it had a leak and when i turned ps fluid would just shoot out. after replacing it i find out that the rack and pinion is on its last leg. it whines and is starting to leak, and when i steer to the left a little it keeps going back itself and when i move right it sorta jerks back to the other side :/
