Small Japan update! After 6 patient months, the Bellof equipped headlights arrived along with the fogs and a gift from my plug! Nice Billion thermostat! Lastest win was a HARD TO FIND Sard oil cap to complete my engine caps. Car is headed to the fabricator this Friday to finally get the cage done. I've been chatting with a IG pal and I love how he did his cage in his JZX100 so that's what I'll be doing in Fran. Can't wait to see how it comes out! Dream coming true by the day!

 

Roll cage day has arrived!!! See ya in few months!!!

 

Last due shipment of Japan items arrived yesterday so no outstanding shipping items! Takata harness and Sard OC is in MINT condition! I finally got the Gold GS complete and a buyer is scheduled for this weekend. Then my vicious parts buying cycle will begin again lol. Fabricator said the cage should be done mid month and I'll be starting a new Service Advisor position at Toyota in Murfreesboro on Monday! Super excited about it!

 

Just stacking parts

 

Cage about to start taking shape. All hand bent full custom w/ D1 specs

 

Nice, looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

 

Sweet, love seeing more caged GS's

 

Yes sir! Although it's taking longer than expected....

 

Just taking my time sourcing all the special pieces to build it right. Hadn't looked for parts in a couple months but won these a couple days ago! Been too busy selling cars at Toyota!

 

Francine's coming home soon so I can continue putting her together! Few delays with the fabrication shop but they're knocking it out! Couldn't be happier with the results. Windshield has to come out to dimple dye but Zeta 4 seats are on the way so it'll start looking like a car again soon. Still in the mocking stages but finished product is coming. I'll get better quality pics tomorrow.🥶

 

Thanks to the plug at Vertex Japan/USA on sourcing theses Zeta 4 Gradations. Almost motor time!

 

Been searching a LONG time for these Aristo TRD brakes and they made it home!

 

If I recall correctly, they're the same as Supra TT brakes, right? Look just like the ones I had at one point on my GS (sans different paint job and decals)

 

Yep sure are! Just for some reason everything listed as JZA80 has a exclusivity taxlol. But glad I finally got em

 

Very important piece showed up so I can keep the TRD theme going. This catalog is mint and has every part number associated with the time. 4 days from Tokyo
