Haha... well not much to take pictures of. Its been a lot of loose ends... starting to tie up.

First off, the subframe is mounted in... got most of the bushings done (traction arm isnt complete in the following picture..). I had to buy new eccentric cam bolts for the arms. Very pricey, but it needs to come off jackstands eventually! I picked up Tokico Illumina rears locally for $50 to match my fronts which came on the car. So I finally have a matching complete spring/shock combo.. H&R and Tokico Illuminas... good enough for now! Ordered some parking brake parts which I broke or age broke. Diff is fully rebuilt and installed... axle cv's have been repacked... it was not my intention to do it, but I knocked the cover plate off, so I was forced to do so





In this pic if you look closely you can see the 1.75" DOM tubing that helps brace the subframe. (above axle)


Bought a modified Porsche oil thermostat. Has -10an fittings already welded on.. not bad for $50... opens at 175* or so like every other one.


Bought another 4" SS Vband assembly... and bought some silver -10an hose ends to see if I like this color theme... Nice thing about silver, they wont show scratches... bad this is its kind of boring... I just feel black may scratch too fast/bad if I need to take it off without tape or anything.






I bought a 1uzfe VVTI engine with a BHG for $100... I will eventually build this engine up for the Supra... but for now, it sits... because it was such a good deal, I had to buy it haha...


Welding on all the parts take some serious time. So thats been the hold up... probably has another 10hours left in the manifolds to go..
