Well as you would of seen in my other thread my Blue 1992 Toyota Chaser got wrecked in Calgary in September with a crash against a GTO



Bought a new Chaser (non turbo auto 1993 X90) for a steal of a deal



Started to rip apart the blue one and pull the motor



The Fcon wiring was very interesting once I got into it





Pulled the motor last Thursday as I`ve been too beat up to work on it till now







Then yesterday I pulled the doors off, trunk lid, interior, seats etc, and all wiring from the sides and rear of the car



Next on the list, get dash wiring out, clutch pedal, e-brake, then move on to suspension components etc.

I`ll keep you updated

gonna reuse the cage?

[shawley]

I was thinking about it, but probably not anymore, gonna build a new cage for the next car. Would anyone on here wanna buy it?

[The Chubby Chaser]

Why not tube frame/chassis the front of the old one?

[shawley]

The strut towers have moved alot, and the ammount of $$$ frame shops are I picked up the new car for way way less

[Ninjabread]

Yea, that is a good idea... I know mine was off just one inch and it was hell to try and pull it back. Toyota sheetmetal is thick and hard to move, unlike nissan lol. Can't just hook it to a tree and pull. I tried that. Chain to the frame rail / tree going to the hitch on my truck, car would just jump about a foot in the air and nothing happened.

kevin have you seen this mofo? nigga is tall as shit

[shawley]

Yea I'm a big guy, gotta sit way far back!

Anyways, just got back from Sema what a gong show!!! Ended in a cab with Gushi and D-Mac at one point on the first night(Good meeting ya Ken if ya read this, can't wait to see the x100!!), o and I also resigned Clarion for 2012 so thats awesome!!!!!

If you've been to Vegas you know about these lol Left them on my friends screen door on the way home from the airport!


Anyways I'm back now

Pulled the front suspension off on both sides





Now time to start cutting! I think I cried a little inside







Maybe I should cut the roof off my new car?? Looks pretty bad ass!! Cut out the B pillars and saved for possible repairs to the new car

[huckersideways]

SHIT GOT DONE.

Re-using cage?

[huckersideways]

I read it. Clearly didnt register. Do what matt sevcov did. But just cut the top off before you put the cage in. 4 door vert, BRO.

[shawley]

Hahaha yea I was thinking of pulling a Sevco! He still has that car eh! We had beers with him in Phoenix last Friday when we got a shitty flight delay and layed over in AZ for 14 hours on the way back from Vegas. Matt saved us from spending the night at the airport!!!

[shawley]

Subframe is out

[liv2drift]

Now I'M confused... Why cut the roof off if you're not going to re-use the cage?

[WhoreMouth_Jr]

Epic spot on the chip foose cut-out ahaha

[shawley]

Why not cut the roof off?? My friends were bored and we had a sawzall. Also I'm taking the cage out and will be selling it, already have a couple people lined up. And if they don't buy it I'll be using the metal for something else.

Hahaha yea I work at a stereo shop, so we have the cutout, someone took the cardboard cut out to the strippers before haha

As for the recovery, I'm almost back to normal except for my arm still hurts a day after doing any work on the car.

Took the gas tank out, had near a full tank when I crashed so got some gas for my truck! haha



And then stripped the firewall, kept the pedals, booster, throttle cable etc, tossed out the abs junk, that shit is heavy! Then we cut the front frame/struts off at the firewall.
