Thanks, Will. :) I need to get back to my friend's shop to press in/out some bushings!

Awesome. :) Lift/gears/lockers is in my future, too, but for now, the 31x10.5 BFG MT's will do it for me. ;) Check out www.marlincrawler.com for a rear bumper, and the ARB bull bar for the front is just amazing. (I have yet to buy the ARB, but it's SICK) I've buried mine to the axles, and...

Lookin' good, Nick. :) With all this extra power, you just might crack your rear subframe! ;)

tlo86- Haha, yeah. They're not cheap, but it's good insurance, as I'll be driving the piss out of this car. :) It's lowered on Eibachs and Koni Yellows. I hate the Eibachs, though. :( Once the car is relatively done and drivable, I'm getting Tim from T.I.P. to customize coilovers to my car...

I likely will. Thanks for the compliment. :) Pulling the subframe really wasn't that bad. So long as you have a good breaker bar and/or impact gun, it's actually quite easy. I've never been into the suspension nearly this much, but I'm learning a whole lot while I'm in the midst of this...

Gorgeous. I play a Gibson SG, and a Taylor 101 acoustic that sounds like a million bucks. :)

Nice, and you've already got a solid front axle. :) You're well on your way. What are the plans? Is it a 22re? auto or 5sp? Are those 31x10.5's? Looks it. Any plans for lockers/gears/tires in the future? Am I getting too far ahead of you? LOL. I've got a '94, and love it!

Today, not a whole lot, as I had other stuff to do, but I got some relatively difficult pieces out of my way: Disassembled the rear hubs to press out the bushings in it. P/N's- 48725 and 42210 in This pic- as always, click to enalrge: The pics of the aforementioned- one of them on each side...

For those who enjoy being spoon fed: http://rob.carlile.home.mchsi.com/lexus/lexus1.htm Read it. UNDERSTAND IT. Then ask questions.

Thanks guys. :) MK3runner- Mine did too! Look back a few pages for pics of right when I removed it! :( CT- They're so easy to put in. I used a 2x4 and a hammer to simply tap them into place. I've got a long way to go before I'll be able to give feedback on them, but I certainly will when it's...

Thanks. :) I can't wait to start putting it back together!

Update for today: Fully painted, RK poly bushings installed. They're so easy to put in! On to the pics, click to enlarge: Top Painted: Underside still primed: Finished painting: Whatever these things are, LOL: Old vs New bushings, for those who care: New RK polys are in, and the...

A set of -AN wrenches would be a good investment, as well as the vice jaws. ;)

No clear coat, as the heat from the engine bay will make it yellow and crispy. Then you have nasty looking yellow cam covers. Not sure how to keep them shiny, so that's all I've got for you. :)

Welcome to SM. This is a project you'll certainly enjoy! :) That's a great looking car for $600. :)

It's getting there for sure. It'll look good once it's all painted black, with the new bushings in, and brand new OEM ($$) rear upper control arms/ball joints installed. :) Thanks!

My bud has a ninety's nissan sentra, with an sr20det in it. Does that count? Haha, quick little car. I always liked the coupes better than the hatchbacks.

Updates as of today: A tiny bit more welding to the alignment tabs, (no pics of that)- got rid of those nasty old bushings, sanded, fully primed and ready for paint tomorrow. :) On to the pics- Click to enlarge: Old nasty OEM subframe bushings removed: The...

It's not so much the shaft I'm worried about, rather than chipping the blades. Ask me how I know. :(

LOL. This thread will be updated during the weekend/ this coming week. I have the whole week off from work, and brand new OEM rear upper balljoints, and the bushings that press into the rear hubs coming in. :) P/N's: 42210 (left and right) 48725 (left and right) 48770A 48790 I'm going to...
