Hey, I got your message. Looked around for one and no luck. Sorry
How are those seats working out for you?
Well Cars gay...
here is a video of the seats though, they rock...
this video is much better as it is outside, so you actually can tell the difference.

Doesn't look too shabby. I didn't read the above post and just clicked on the link and was wondering why you had two completely different types of seats there, then I was like, "wait, they didn't make that color from the factory on the supra..." 
The seats look pretty good. You definitely need to find someone with a digital camera to take some pics. I'm really curious as to how it looks in detail.
So far I have had to go back and touch up a few areas, in certain light I "think" I see some red left, but then it disappears at another angle. Long story short, they are black and unless someone really starts to look, and even then I am not sure if they could tell the difference.
I dyed my seats in a similar fashion and after getting in and out of the car for a month it began to wear off and expose the blue (factory color) underneath...<BR><BR>Keep me updated on how yours turn out.<BR><BR>-Devon Goodspeed
Well, I am not sure the material you used, but I used this on just standard fabric to test it, a white t-shirt and it physically dyed the fabric. This stuff was developed for couches, chairs, tshirts, ect ect
it then was found to work on automobile fabric as well.

Well... went out to my car today, checked some cables, turned the key and it ran, it sat at 500 RPM... I was sooo happy, then we realized it had a blown head gasket. The head was removed by TurboFreak, I and a local friend... took us 3 hours, none of us ever taking the supra head off... here are some pictures of todays fun events
Yea, I guess so.. I plan to probably rebuild the motor
I have an extra GTE that I am told was rebuilt recently, so I am going to tear that down and see what exactly was rebuilt ect. The motor is "blown" but it is a simple fix, so going to check everything out and see.

I've got a username on the board too, damnit.
I was just glad that we didn't run into any big problems during the removal. Nothing like that 300 6 I did with some friends, where we had the head off in ~15 minutes, but not too bad nonetheless. Just damn happy it's an inline, and not a V.
Did you say you were going just MHG + the upper gasket/seal kit for now? Or pulling the motor soon?
EDIT: Just thought of something. I do hope that those cams are marked, because I don't remember which is which from when I put them in the hatch. They should be, I imagine.
We marked everything else, but forgot to mark the cams.. eh trial and error I suppose :-D
I have cams here... yea, I can see the gear, I will know which is exhaust... I new that too, thinking about it
edit:
max owners taking over SM
I decided to only machine the head and get a MHG, I know I know... dont do it, but from the posts I have read with people just machining the head, and talking to friends of mine who know far more then I saying the odds the bottom block would become warped ect... I am going to take the risk... I plan to rebuild / get a new motor anyway just right now I am tooo much in debt
