Got myself a new daily driver project.

Bought for $500 from my friend Joey (he's the one who welded my spindles and brians spindles).

Pretty clean, only 130K miles.









Front bumper was mangled from something, as you can tell by the questionable repair work.



7M is shit, duh. It looks like the crank spun on the woodruff key, and they tried to cut a new keyway to reuse a fucked crank. Obviously, this did not work.







Plans?

VIP style

-2JZGE w/ auto from an SC300 in my backyard. (hopefully pulling the 7M next week, and the 2J the week after)
-Mark II bumpers.
-Air suspension so I can dump it.
-Limo tint
-18's

Since we have another kid on the way we need a second car so I can drop the kid off at grandma's house. This thing is going to be basic; nothing crazy. I will probably do the neat suspension arms to make adjustments easy, but definitely NO solid mounts or bushings. It's possible this may become my ladies daily at some point.

I wanted to gut this thing and make a missile car, but I am a dad first. This car was cheap, and my friend gave me a SMOKIN deal on the 2J. I haven't had A/C in one of my car's since 2003, so I am kinda looking forward to this.







I promise this will NOT take as long as my other project. I want this thing driving in less than a month if everything works out.

Glad to see you do this man. I think this is going to be cool.

[Guy Smiley]

Very cool!


What are your eventual plans with SC?








I know you have some..............

[rayray]

oh snaps, it's a D1 car!

haha all kidding aside, i know you it'll be a good project in your hands. good luck dawg!

[brinkin]

Nice! How much does that SC shell have?

[7MX63]

SC shell is pretty gutted; except front seats which I may try to use. My buddy want to put a VQ in it or something like that.

[BudgetVIP]

nice car man, can't wait to see the end result.

Whos white Cress?

[7MX63]

^ friend of mine named Josh. He works at Full-Race with me.

He registered on here as Skussy, but he said he's not posting anything until he has something good to say.

I wouldn't use the SC seats. They weigh like a 1298472t43993247rydkfjvbe423 pounds.

[7MX63]

It's not a track car, like I said. Weight is of no concern to me, I would rather this thing be comfortable.

[Garcia]

If the seats are leather, which they most likely are, they will start to get HARD and start cracking, if they're not already. I use to work at an upholstery shop for 4 years, I've worked on tons of those seats and I've owned an SC...they suck in every way. You can find other seats that are better all around.

It's not that I hate you, I just hate your seat idea <3

[7MX63]

If I can get a decent deal at reupholstering seats, I will reuse stock ones. I am probably selling mine to brian, and I will need to fix up his.

I really don't feel like doing any extensive fabrication on this thing; so my laziness will surely prevail.

Do a 5M-GE swap!

P.O. Box I dont give a fuck.


So I assume your bringing that bad ass X6 to Toyota fest?

[brian]

lets start wrenching!

[7MX63]

I wanted to pull the 7m yesterday, but couldn't procure people or a hoist. Failx2.

Hopefully I can pull it on sunday.

[llerrav619]

I know that I have never met you in person but let me know if you need any help on a weekend day or something.

[toji004]

cant wait to figure out this 2j motor mount pickle im in

[7MX63]

Pulled the 7M today; what a fucking ordeal that was.

Cleaned up the bay a lil bit. I am going to seal all the rust and repaint the battery area.









Success!

That's a clean engine bay! A nice benefit of living in the Southwest.
