Looking good fella, whats left on the to do list then?

 

A lot lol.

 

Finishing fitting the interior trim - doing tomorrow

 

Sort out and Fit fuel lines

 

Fit diff and drive shafts

 

Engine needs valve stem seals doing so needs to come out and be rebuilt

 

Then needs to be plumbed in and wired up

 

Gearbox needs fitting which requires a different tunnel, welding :(

 

Prop can then go on

 

Then leather interior and rear lights wired up

 

Lastly exhaust and de cat then can fit BPU parts and get it running nice!

That list not to bad tbh a few of those things on there like the diff fitting for example should only take a few hours, youre getting there should take too long to finish, keep the updates coming

 

I thought the stem seals could be done without engine/head removal? Sure ive seen a few threads on this

Well apparently the tool to do it won't fit in the 2JZ?? But it would be so much better if it could be done without the headgasket bollocks lol

 

I will try to mate! It's been hard getting things done as there's always something small that gets in the bloody way of something else lol

Looking good.... Guess we will have some fun when I get back. Tell Jon and

 

 

Yea definitely ;)

 

Tell them what bud?

 

Good work keep up the good progress. Good to see a rare colour being re-born. Those wheels look mint, are they? I must get mine refurbished looking at them.

 

Yea those wheels are basically mint. Were refurbed by the previous owner and I really like them now :) needs spacing at the rear though!

Cheers for the support :D
