Cleaned up the interior of debris from the windshield installation, looks way cleaner without the cracked windshield for sure haha, also tested for any water leaks, none whatsoever also got around to painting my passenger door molding, only need driver side and im complete with the body parts
Passenger door molding finally installed! Took a few more pictures, still needing a driver door molding, thats it for the body!
Updates: got my JZA70 recaro rear seats yesterday, the tops are faded and torn like usual, and now im lookin for the fronts, amazing how much i got these seats though, THEY WERE A STEAL!!!
aha it will get there soon, lookin around for the door panels, floor mats and front recaro seats to complete the deal, and possibly later on move to shadow grey? but for now im savin up for a 5 speed swap, i couldnt pass on the rear recaro seats though they were too cheap to be truee
Congratulations! I like what you are doing with it. I will be starting my own restoration maybe this weekend, gotta get my supra to my garage and start working on it.
^ Nice, make sure to post pictures on teh picture thread.
Anyways, I will be replacing my sway bar bushings soon, control arm/suspension system bushings, then after i replace my intermediate shaft and W58 swap, i will replace the rear subframe/suspension bushings, should i go OEM or polyurethane? (energy suspension)?

Car is looking quite good!!! Go TRD if you can find them, if not energy, and they will match your color too!
