Thanks....Ready to get the motor so I can start degreasing the engine bay out and replacing the steering rack bushings, replace fuel filter, and other maintenance related tasks while saving up for the 2jzgte which will be bought in feb/march or 2014. A lot of things to do on the car until that times come. I am going to be taking my time with the restoration on the car and doing it the right way. I have no desire to rush the build as my original intentions was to be a project for me.:woohoo:

While I have some down time on the car until I have enough for 2jzgte....Figured it would be a good time to tackle some of the interior while I wait.....All of these parts I used SEM Landau Black on. Turned out really well. I am going for two tone, but I will be leaving the dash and upper trim panels factory brown.
Attachment 426948 Attachment 426949 Attachment 426950 Attachment 426951 Decided to throw a few pieces in to get an idea of what it is going to look like Attachment 426952 I am going to redoing the wood trim panels, new black vinyl on doors, and getting ready to dye my carpet black as well..:D:D |
So you're going GTE... what trans will you be using?
|
I'll be using the W58 for now and going to be running low boost (10psi) until I can save up for V160

Engine bay is all getting all cleaned up almost ready to eat off of :p
Attachment 426838 A few more months till 2jzgte will be filling this hole and finding its home in the SC :D |
Great job on the bay^^ wish i had the time to get mines all cleaned up and do some maintenance at the same time
|
Nicely coming along, good job. Engine bay looks great as well. Sub'd.

looks great!! If you need to do your rack bushings now is the easiest it will ever be to do it and may want to hit the bottom of the brake booster with some paint. everything else looks nice, including the GE that looks like its in time out =)

Next on my list after the interior will be replacing steering rack bushings, upper and lower control arm bushings, front and rear and sway bar bushings front and rear. I am beginning to accumulate parts for the GTE swap....I will be using a competition clutch 1620 with the W58 for the time being hopefully it will last a year with the GTE mated up to it. Stay Tuned for my pics as the SC progresses over the next few months!!!! :D |
