Minor update, just been flat out in work
Engine off the trailer next to the supra
built a frame for the engine and box to be built up, even heavy duty rubber castors have a flat bottom on them, working through little niggles of wrong bolts etc for the parts that are going on the engine, sump removed to find i have the wrong new one so flipped this one around knocked a few dents out and put the new pickup ans seals on, dipstick moved to rear of engine (for sump)
still need to change rear change oil seal put the bellhosuing on and source a new gearbox ( have my eye on one) then can put in in the car for good
not one of my best sides imgo
Slam panel has been drilled out of the car and i shall make it bolt in for ease of access
friends keep saying to vlog it, what you lot reckon?

easter weekend can get lil bits done between my sisters wedding and a now cancelled MFN
Car is actually being moved out of the lockup
had 1 good day last week so cleaned the end of the crank up from sitting and cranked the crank oil seal, bellhosuing cleaned and put on, new flywheel arp bolts clutch and some DIY dowels installed
gearbox is knackered popped top off full of rust and mayo, so ive essetially with the other useless parts paid £250 about 10 times the amount for a bellhousing and some scrap
testing the chain and sling (reslung it after this)
cut cut and when it touches cut it some more, still have to trim the scuttle panel more, wiper mech doesnt fit now tho
As a great man once said, first time tight, second time alright, sat on the subframe with a thick rubber spacer and jack under the back, will level and square it up and make all the mounts
Only slightly proud of the bonnet

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.
