Well I ran into a ____ ton of confusion....

1st I go to install the motor today... wtf motor mounts I purchased are totaly wrong... they are not SR20 to AE86 mounts, the SR20 side is not write at all.

Fine, whatever I will call the guy I purchased them from, and try to figure this out, F*^%k... whatever!

Pull the exhaust, yeah its gone and removed finally, no idea what brand this is at all, toss to the side.

Lurred my friend over with offerings of beer, to help swap the rearend out of the SR5. 

got the rearend removed, what a pain in the ass, so many rusted out bolts.

This is where is gets confusing again! So I am kinda really confused.... My MA-47 celica/supra rearend bolted in with out the 4link I purchased (using the OEM SR5 bars, and the Celica supra swaybar) ..... wtf... the only thing that did not fit was the panhard bar.... I am sooo confused.

Stance looks way better with the new rearend and mubflaps

Does anyone have an idea why the MA47 rear would fit with out aftermarket 4link??????!?!?!?

I figured out why my motor mounts wont work... they are for a KA24... oh well, at least the seller is willing to return them.

I had a great day today! Cleared out room in the garage, sold off the 4link, OEM hood, SR5 full diff, driveshaft, stock antenna, stock mr2 seat! made some cash and got a cleaner garage!!!!

I also got a few things in the mail, AE86 panda sticker, and I made this resevour cover custom embroidered!!

Valve cover is shaved and painted!!!

But I can't decide on my theme. here are a few option:

1) sleep panda center

2) sleepy panda off center

3) falling over panda center

4) falling over panda off center

5) FRS badge center top

6) FRS badge center lower

or some form of combination like FRS badge where the nissan badge was, and the panda on the front etc.

Vote!!! I need help deciding!

Well cleaning stuff up right now, straitened the edges on the coilpack Carbonfiber cover, and sanded it down so it will not be bumpy lol

Then some clear coat.

Same thing with the kouki eyelids, one had a nice good scratch on it, i had to sand through.

some clear

Man first time I have had the valley cover on the shaved white valve cover, and it turned out just how I imagined it!! Lovin it!

Just need to figure out how I want to badge it!!

Started out templating my motor mounts in paper, getting closer!

Got a big piece of steel
