so brake lines are all finished up except one or two connections. I think I like to think i did a pretty good job with it and it all mounts up outta the way like i wanted too.
before you ask, yes that is where my tire rubs the frame.

yay so update time!!
heads back from being built built, I tore down the 2jz-GE I had so i can put my head on it. ordered my SARD fuel rail, Tomei fuel pressure regulator and my Titan motorsports cam gears came in finally so now im just waiting on my ARP studs and cometic 2.5 mm head gasket.
soo close and so far away!
next week im ordering a precision 60-1, precision 46mm wastegate and then finally my RC 880 CC injectors. Im also going to be having a swirl pot made for me.
when I end up ordering my parts I will also be dropping the valve covers off at the shop to get -8 AN bungs welded to it for the oil catch can.
Im also going to be relocating the battery to my trunk. Ive been thinking about doing a mild wire tuck in the engine bay any comments or suggestions?
BTW does anyone happen to know if the 1jz upper and lower pan are swappable between the GE and 1jz? im pretty sure they are just wanting a confirmation.

finally my head gasket and got to working. swapped the upper and lower oil pans, swapped oil pump, put the headgasket on head on and torqued it all down, put the cams on and got them set into timing, i just need to degree the cams in and get it set. valve covers are at slowmo getting -10 AN bungs welded to it. turbo will be in next week around Wednesday. Just a few more things to get and ill get the car all buttoned up.

^^Did you ever have your block surfaced in prep for that gasket??
Per Cometic: " A surface finish of 50 RA (roughness average) or finer, is recommended for a proper gasket seal. Anything rougher may conflict with the gasket design. "
