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. I have not gotten anything off them since they are the wrong color for me. The yard with the blue one is usually pricey...
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?
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...
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.
Actually in this auto body class I am taking the instructor showed us this paint gun with this long flexalble wand used for reach places normally unaccessable and it will spray 360 degrees. Iwas not planning on getting one of those spray guns but I guess I will have to now.
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...
Wow Clip thanks I will try that metal sealer and see what happens. I called this place in town that repairs tanks but they are backed up for months. I dont feel like waiting that long!
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...
Yeah the shopping center across from the valley mall with the Kroger and the Blockbuster at the corner. I work at the pawn shop across the parking lot and around the corner from Fasion Bug.
I cant beleive that old man rides around like that. There is a complete MKIII at French's junk yard he...
Thanks for the replies everyone. I dont think I wantto go "cheap" rather I would like opinions on how to spend what money I have wisely on decent stuff and an idea of what order to purchase certain items. I would like to get a good plan together so I dont buy this when I should have bought that...
I ordered a JDM....the P.O. threw a rod on the # 6 cyl. through the block on both sides on the original motor.
I have never taken anything to a machine shop to have rebuilt I dont want to get suprised with a high bill ya know.
So out of fear of screwing up I am stuck. I dont have alot of money to put into this and need to do it as cheaply as possible. I just want a nice daily driver. I am not building a race car. I have the head off my JDM motor for a head gasket. The JDM looks pretty good except for some rust in the...
