    Junkyard diving!!

    I have only found 2 yards near where I live. Each has 1 Supra one is an ugly brown '86 that is a complete car and another yard just up the road from me has a blue one as well.

    YAY!! I got my head back today!!

    I have been reading this debate on the board about new head bolts vs. using the old ones over. I decided to get the new arp bolts but $100.....yikes!! That hurts! So I guess if ARP bolt kit is advertised as being for the 7MGTE it is the same for the 7MGE as well correct?

    YAY!! I got my head back today!!

    I had the bottom milled flat, new valve seals and I took the Toyota factory manual to him and he shimmed it for me and did the valve job as per the manual. He cleaned it up real nice too which I guess is part of the process anyway. $269.00 is what it cost me. I was expecting a higher price then...

    YAY!! I got my head back today!!

    I got a call that the machine shop was done with the head off my JDM 7M. It did not cost me as much as I thought it would. Here are some pics I thought I would show it off. Now the mad rush of reassembly begins.

    I got the car to mostly do body work to since I have taken a pretty good auto body class. I am in the second part of it and they are teaching us to weld in patch panels to repair rust and stuff right now. We learned to paint in the first section. I got the car hoping this engine would just...

    Pulled my gas tank today....YUCK!

    So my car came to me after sitting for 5 years with a full tank of gas. I puled the tank from the car today and and emptied it. Alot of rust came out with the last of the old gas. Is there a good way to clean this thing? I probably will have to change fuel pumps I suppose too. I also...
