bit of an update/teaser if you will
il be plowing stupid amounts of time and money into the supra as i have around 66 days + 7 days testing before i go down to USC as my fiat is going to end up being written off by a DPD driver in a hit and run (almost 3 months ago now) so i have to take this or the rovaru and only 1 is doable
engine in and a few items in place to start mocking up and ordering parts, at this point ive found i need to shim them middle mounts and remake the fronts (too much heat in them has warped)
heat will be a major issue so i have gold take, single aluminum skin heat shielding and blackets for turbo and maifold to try and keep it under control
brake vacuum pump % set painted and mostly wired (still need to add the plug) fitted nice and snug
scott popped around and took some fancy pics (by my standards)
start of fuel tank top had with vdo tube sender 1/2" feed 3/8" return and a 6mm filler vent, 125mm dia and 3mm thick cheap as to buy off ebay rather then cutting it out of a plate myseld
bulkhead fittings for tubes
fittings drilled to sized, pipes cleaned (only bundy tube) really tight fit and silver soldered in place with a pair of P-clips to stop them vibrating too much
some fuel lines and various parts from supra breakers that il mess about with to suite me
1 wire hydro hoses under the car in the factory positions, hose is tough so snapped 2 mounting tabs so had to redo those 
filter and head under rear of car, only space for it, tape on there to keep it clean for now
pretty tight under there, had to bend edging up for clearance and will have to chop the top had to clear it
very technical method to the start of the front bumper/ducting making it out of 3mm ally to save some weight
some bits bolted on for good! hopefully atleast, heater unit and hoses in with front ducting face, clutch master cylinder setup with new cylinder and pedal, brake pedal bracket in but all 3 pedals to make yet, column and cross bar in along with the fashbanding and stock bulkhead sound proofing chopped/trimmed to fit back in
have around 10 items on order and a nuch of other fuel hoses to make, some battery cables made up with some more to add, if all goes to plan i should have it crudely running in chassis by weeks end

I bet the purists probably don't like this, but screw them! This thing looks like a blast!

This thing is insane. Definitely not a swap I would think of doing, but it looks like it will be a blast to drive. I like the mad max look you have going too.
