Dude! You are really putting in work! All this paint work is looking nice! Glad you found the motivation to keep going.

Those old Previas are sick! I'll have one someday!

Holy shit this thing looks great!! Any plans to revive it?

Cool... I figured this place would be shut down by now. Cliffnotes is that life has sucked for the last couple years and I haven't worked on much of anything with the Cressida. Then with Covid, work situations, and a pending divorce that I hope to God will be over with soon, There hasn't been much energy, time, or money left. Life and mental health really hit the fan a couple months ago and I needed to get away for a little while. A good friend suggested I come down to NC for the weekend to get away and convinced me to bring the car. I had a great time. This car has been basically sitting for over a year and I took it straight from storage, to the trailer, to the track. Then proceeded to thrash it for 6+ hours with no real issues, The suspension is worn out and clunking and the rack pisses fluid out of both ends faster than I would prefer, but otherwise, it's still kicking just fine. It never fails to impress me the absolute beating that this car can take.. I still have all of the same plans that I posted about before, but the timeline is unknown at this point. Just patiently waiting for this shit year to be over with. I'm ready to hibernate. Maybe I won't feel so beat down next year and get some of the fire back.

I have heard exactly this from multiple photographers. One literally said "IDGAF if Diago Saito is out there, if he's in a flat black 240 we won't even bother taking pictures because they all look the same, and it's impossible to accurately tag the drivers after the event." -

At the end of the day, the the ratio of "car looks good", vs "car actually gets driven hard", this one is one of the best! There are plenty of drift Cressidas out there struggling to look presentable, and there are plenty of show worthy cars that rarely get driven. This one is an excellent balance of both. -
I deal with international shipping at work and large stuff going through customs around the holidays always takes forever. Occasionally it slips right through, but often it takes several weeks and there is almost no good way to track it until it comes out the other side.. Not trying to play devils advocate, just wondering if you guys are dealing with some of that. If they are not responding though and giving the run-around, then that's another issue.

This is a damn shame.. The parts looked promising and I wanted to be optimistic when I first heard about them.. I'm glad I didn't order anything yet.

UZs get a bunch of crap, and they aren't JZ fast, but they consistently hold up better than any other gas powered engine I have ever seen. Yours looks perfect inside! Nice find!
-
/thread I stripped a handful of parts that I thought might sell later, and then filled it with all the junk scrap metal that's been accumulating around the shop and drug it to the scrap yard.
-
I'll look tonight, but I'm pretty sure the only thing left is the evap core in the dash (not trying to remove that), and the condensor which is pretty rusty.
-
Also curious if it's for sell?

Dang.. I hope that custom project wasn't too expensive! I've been using a FC RX7 front bar on some home-brew brackets in the back of the Cressida for years and it's been great. -
I'm going to try to get this to the scrap yard either this weekend or next, so speak up if you are wanting anything.
