kakezzi22, am I understanding your earlier posts in this thread correctly that Finland's DMV and inspection laws as to modification will only allow 20% more power than the stock 2JZ-GE engine since it's an SC300 chassis and not a Soarer chassis? So this would NOT refer to the stock output 1JZ-GTE you have going in but rather the original output of THAT SC300 chassis?
So for instance, if you had a RHD Soarer 1JZ-GTE chassis you would be allowed 20% more than stock output for the "280" hp 1JZ engine... but would a RHD Soarer JZZ31 that originally came with a 2JZ-GE also be held to the same restriction despite the 1JZ-GTE being a factory option on that model?
Finland seems to be very strict about this. A totally stock 2JZ-GTE swap into your SC would not fly there legally it would seem (SC300 w/225hp stock to "320" hp... or a roughly 43% increase in power).
Aside, the frame-off restoration progress is looking very good!!

I put a tow hook on the passenger side outlet and ran my 3" single out of the driver side. If I ever bite the bullet to respray my car I'd love to follow suit and do what you're doing here. It'll look so clean!
