    MKIII full resto and 2JZGTE swap

    Yeah I've tried that route. The 92 I had a few years ago had the rear quarter replaced. I was told by the original owner the last two panels were ordered from Japan and used on that car. And yes, it cost him a fortune too. I had all the original recipts for the work and it was well over...

    Thanks everyone for the positive comments. I hope to have some real updates on progress very soon. A lot of what I've done you can't really see and is also quite un eventfull.

    You're in Elmira? I just noticed as I was reading through again. You don't live on the highway on the way out do you? I always see a MKII parked out front. I would love to come and see your car sometime.

    MKIII full resto and 2JZGTE swap

    Sorry for the lack of updates. I moved the car to my garage at home for the winter. I have a buddy of mine coming to do some 3D digital scans of the rear quarters so I can make some replacement ones since I can't find any decent ones to cut out and weld back in. Here's something we were...
