As it stands now, I have a lead on a gte that had a bhg. I would still need a harness, an ecu, and a turbo(Plus the rebuild). My engine will need at least a crank, rod(s), piston. That is if the block checks out okay, as well as the head and valves at piston #4. All that plus the rebuild. How...

The block doesn't look bad at all. I need to take and have it looked at. I am still deciding if I want to try and rebuild the N/A(if it is rebuildable) or try and find a gte to swap in.

What goes here? After it is on the stand: I took the pan off and this is what it looked like(I didn't touch a thing) #4 Piston is the one that the rod broke. The bore looks good in the fourth cylinder. The piston looks like it has touched the head/valves just a bit. I still need check...

I wouldn't be worried either, except the wires are corroded and I don't have low beams. The amount on the plug wasn't bad at all. Going to throw my Mini Morimoto HID kit I made for my old car and see if it works. Update tonight.

Some progress today. It's going slow as my friend wants to help with the pull and has been super busy. Looks like I may be trying to pull it Thursday before it gets too cold out. Maybe that is why I don't have low beams? Rubbing from the tire? More rubbing. It's really bad...

I agree with the murdered out look. But Plasti-Dip is for Beaters?

I plan to do it to mine to make it one color. It's a cheap alternative to painting a car, but isn't permanent. Should expect to be fixing chips pretty often. search Youtube for "Dip You Car.com" videos

I found a picture of what the two side by side, so I'll. Check after work. And the drivers seat is way to heavy. My friend is giving/selling me a set of Bride Brix II's that just need recovered. So the seats should be in before the car hits the ground again

Awesome Thanks. I knew the difference in Trans between gte and ge. Seeing as how one of the PO's installed an LSD, I was wondering if they might have swapped to the r154. I plan on driving the car hard, My best friend(more like a big brother) owns a 350z he has built for road racing, I hope to...

Some updates today. Really happy: Tokico Blues. Are these any good? Heard they are rebuildable, are they worth getting rebuilt? Eibach's: LSD!! I about died. Super excited: is there any way to find out if the car has a r154? or a w58? without pulling the trans? Is this a...

I am hoping it's not too hard. Did Find out the car is actually an '86.5. Manufactured August of '86 Then found some things that worry me today: First Off, Moved the c900 out of the way to give plenty of room for the Supra Then got into the Interior. First off. The Doors will lock, but...

The drivers side rear quarter window is leaking, visible rust. The hatch seal is ripped, and the driver side taillight doesnt have bottom nuts. 'll get more pictures either today or Tuesday. Need to finish stripping the interior and start the engine removal. Also if anyone knows where to get...

I enjoy stripping cars. You learn a lot about the car, as well as previous owners. Found a medicine bottle filled with unknown substance, a syringe, and a spoon wrapped up in the drivers side fender.

Plan for the car is to change it into a 300-350rwhp reliable daily/weekend racer. Not build for speed, but built to out handle most cars on the road. (sorta) On to progress Pictures from today. Not too bad The antenna? I am just going to take it out. PO installed it for whatever...

There is so much Information on here it is crazy. I am loving it. Should have a parts list up in my build thread soon. Excluding engine parts.

Awesome! Thanks. I see now why the control units would fail. Leaking taillight gaskets, which lots of people seem to have. Guess I need to source new ones and seal the lights.

I'll make sure to check, I am starting a check list in excel to help me remember and stay on track. This car was technically the PO's parts car, but it ran better then the good car. So they stole the body parts and interior bits to get it looking decent. The electrics in the seats still work, so...

Thanks, I'll get a hold of them. I am not sure what Color I am going. I still have a long time to decide, but it's between Black, midnight blue, and a very dark metallic grey.

Recently purchased this '87 N/A with a dead engine from a friend. They said it had a slight knock. Current Plans: Plasti-Dip white for the time being Black Interior. I will be painting/dying a lot of the parts and using black suede. 7mgte or 2jz swap. (Have a big decision here) Set up for...

Thanks. The body seems to be in great shape. The only rust I see is the spare tire area. I am stripping the interior here in the next few days, so I will have a better grasp of what I am working with.
