damn... that is just sad, sucks when you put so much work into something you love and some idiot just takes it away. good part is that you're fine. the car looks fixable, hopefully you'll keep it, this is an awesome build. good luck man.
got a few updates to this cursed vehicle. i almost got out of the game and sold the car out of depression and frustration, but luckily the buyer couldnt come up with the money. i guess it just wasnt meant to be! so i got the car driving and took it out to a local drift event. threw on my aero that ive had laying around forever. looked decent aside from the mismatched paint
On the way back from the drift event, my car died and i had to get it towed. My fuel pump died and there was a short in the harness. Rather than dealing with 20+ yr old wiring, i opted to purchase a new harness. While i wait for that to come in, i pulled my motor last week and im refreshing my 1jz ONCE AGAIN. twice in a yr
gonna simplify the set up a little more by deleting ac, heater, and abs. the vicious cycle of break, fix, repeat continues!

small update. finally ripped the heater core out as well as all the a/c components. I have to admit, i didnt realize how much work that entailed. BUT it was definetly worth the work, thing was heavier than jesus. weighed 30 lbs
Now i have much more room to work on things and clean up some clutter

im hoping to get some information on some plugs. im in the process of "gutting" my interior and cleaning up the interior harness. need some information on some plugs before i go cutting wires.
what are these plugs used for? they're located just under the stereo plugs
also found this block mounted underneathe the dash that has a bunch of connectors on it. Information on this?
