She is finally down on her own two feet!! (hams old supra)

Actually its just a plain old 2jzge engine. You probably just recognize it because of the valve covers on the ge.
I really do get a kick out of all the turbo comments.... it actually looks even BIGGER in person then it does in the pictures. It almost looks like it should be a stage prop or something with how big it is.
I am almost in shock at how nice the interior was when you had it hams! Im actually kind of jelous of how nice it WAS
It is a shame it was molested as bad as it was. THe back seats were full of grease and oil from parts, fronts wernt much better, door panals have tears in them now. The only thing worth saving was the dash panal, and hopefully if i can get the stains out, the carpet.

Wayyy off. a 2JZ-GE still has 2 valve covers. This is a 1FZ engine ( http://www.brian894x4.com/ExpeditionLandCruiserFZJ80engine.html ) with a 98mm turbo. That Supra has been converted to AWD. The thread is here.

Edit: Ian beat me to it, and sorry for the thread hijack.
Its been a very long time since i updated this thread. Its getting really close to actually starting the car for the first time.
It will be nice to see this car running again. Love the hoses for the PCV system, those must have cost a pretty penny!

What harness are you running ?? I noticed it was a GE motor before ?? unless you have a GTE motor there ??
Its a GE, converted to COP. We are using Modified TT valve covers because the GE's tent to let a lot of oil past the baffles. I made the engine harness specificity for my set-up. The whole car has been re-wired, the previous owner, who I bought the car from, left the wiring in shambles. It now sports a painless chassis harness, and a custom engine harness, made by me.
No, time is a bit scarce these days. That and it takes me a bit of time to save up for all the parts needed. I havnt put a dime of this car on credit, so ive been building as I can afford to. Its been a long journey thats for sure!
She finally runs!

Well, it has finally made it to the point where I can driven it around the block!!! Everything seems to be working properly, and the only thing leaking now is the rack. That can be fixed at a later date lol.
This was an ebay 4" exhaust that was modified to fit my setup and the magnaflow muffler:

How she is sitting right now, I still need to lower the front another 1/2" or so and then put the front lip I have for it on:
