Default Project resurrection

So for those who know my old 7, its had a pretty tough life. I got it from a drifter, slid it a lil... Beat on it alot. Eventually it became a 6 port turbo which was done on the cheap and in a big hurry, so naturally it had issues from the start. Well since I've had a lot of time on my hands and I'm tired of it just sitting the back yard... I'm going to resurrect it, as a budget track car and play toy. The t2 will still be my primary focus, but I'm eager to start testing some ideas. I'll update as I go and add pictures when I can. Starting tonight, the car is completely gutted and ill be removing the fuel tank and rear sub frame as well as the rear end.

Landon your pretty close. This one will have a rather excessive port job fed by a carb. Just not sure if its going to get boosted or sprayed or if it'll stay all motor.

Sr's are garbage... 2jz's are over priced... ls is the only real option

Got a lil sidetracked with an interior paint job this week but I'm back in the shop tonight for a few minutes. dropped the fuel tank, heat shields, and took the struts off. Going to clean up the tank and prob redo the fuel lines. Also need new struts and springs, might do cool overs... Dunno yet tho. Getting closer to dropping the rear sub and getting that diff brace finished up... For those wondering, 10,12,14,&17mm were the required sockets
