that would be so sick!
VERTEX | JZS160 Multipurpose Build Street/Track = FUN!!! (PICS)
I'm parting out some of it... check the classifieds I have a thread there. I would suggest removing the a-pillars. It's not that hard just 2 popouts and it's off (use a panel popper so you don't mess stuff up). I don't think you can just yank the headliner out if you look at it you'll have to remove the oh **** handles, sunroof controls, sun visors etc... if I can get more time to get the headliner out today I'll take pics for you. Just have so much other stuff to take off the car and ship that I sold 
see im not trying to remove my a-pillars as i DO have the airbags in my a-pillars...so i was hoping you could remove headliner without having to remove the a-pillars.im ok with removing the oh **** handles, sunroof controls, sun visors and everything as im wanting to swap a sunroof assy (one part of mine is broken, and although it works its bothering me and its cheaper to do the whole assy)
i forgot to ask you jay if u selling the sunroof assy?
off topic...this thread SO reminds me of robs build but i haven't seen/heard anything from or about him lately. guess im gonna have to go look and see whats new on that one too

As for the front end... I'm not into the conversion. I don't think the front end matches the smoother bodylines of the 2GS. I'll stay true to the 2GS and do it right. That being said... I wouldn't mind having a 3GS and may buy one for the wifey since it's time for a new car for her... we'll see.
Updates from yesterday... more gutting/taking things apart. There's so much stuff under the dash it's funny. I mean they have really nice box covers for loom coils and stuff that Dan and I laughed about the whole time - different from gutting a Datsun/Nissan etc - I guess it's a luxury car thing?
Steering column out... unlike Rob's build ima keep this just cuz I love the auto-mem settings and stuff...
Dashbar... first one we've seen that was pretty much straight... I was going to make one but we'll likely just reuse this one since it mounts up well to the steering column etc... might have to mod it though to work with the cage but we'll see
Supra TT Brake booster/Master Cylinder... the gutting was basically to figure out how to make this work in the car. Going to delete the ABS etc and try and clean up the engine bay
Parking brake pedal/cable assembly... definitely going to replace this with a handle!!! So if anyone needs this for any reason let me know.
Some stuff arrived today says the shipping guys at work... we shall see!
yeah my fav clips when i was taking apart the trunk/interior are the zip ties with the push pin style insert (to bad i couldnt find any at a local auto place.) besides dealer ne1 know where to get them?
Jay wassup bro its Lloyd i was wondering when you were gonna start that new project!!!! I had a feeling it was gonna be a lex lol!!!! good shiz bro jay doesn't dissappoint 
and yesssss you should definetly cop on that 3GS for the wifey i love mine to death!!!
