More progress
Found yet more tar- this was behind the wiring, and did not risk the heat gun back there at that time
However, no wiring now, means ability to remove it
My assistants wanted more progress
Work more they said
So I did
Before
After
Tidy
Then, ABS/ESP Tab had to go home
During
After
Then, our cars, are full of these little things
I personally ***** those. For two reasons.
1. I have bled so many times because of them , I have lost count
2. They dont accept a normal bolt thread, only some with effort.
So bye bye
Removed about 20 or more of those from the engine bay alone
They will be shaved smooth
Then, having the spot welder drill in hand, I thought I'd remove some more weight, not needed weight that I carried with me for no reason all this time. Oh well, seems like there is ALWAYS more weight to be removed.
Then this
This will have to go too
As well as this
Not an easy task, but it is a pleasure to see all these heavy pieces of metal come out of the car. Interesting to weigh them all together
Next time, I will do the passenger side ones
As well as these little ones which are surely heavy, given they were for the seatbelts
I think I can have a beer for now, and do more tomorrow
Cheers everyone

So, got some more ammo
And got to work on the passenger side too
Requires dedication- look at the number of holes for such a small piece
However in the end, it is well worth it
And I might have some new orders too . . . it's christmas after all . . .
But this is not all . . . more to come on the next update
Cheers, and Merry Christmas to all

More on that on the next update.
Meanwhile . . . I think I might have ordered something new . . . something not cheap . . . something like . . . this . . .
Picture is just for reference, I am talking about a brand new part, straight from Toyota Dealership.

Had some really good progress with the Wheel Well, but decided to stop here
Removed this STERN transmission mount, which will propably go for sale with the whole STERN engine mount kit
Reason for the removal was to do something a bit more interesting.
Tom asked me to stop drilling and cutting and go help him . . . hehe
Time to meet each other for good
Gear shifter removed
Lets go inside
Water pipe needs to be removed
Me Likey
Let's throw the head on
I think this is what one can call WiN.
Engine will go further back
Once some more metal is removed
Exhaust side for now
I knew I had picked the right Oil pan for my car
Steering rack is going nowhere it seems . . .
2JZ temporarily in place for some nights
Parked in place
Best food table of the night
Cheers, more to come

Got me some more parts then.
Second Aeromotive Fuel Filter
Aeromotive Replacement Filter for my other Filter housing
Because it was not that clean after its current mileage
And a second "044" Bosch Pump
I think two of those, one out of each side of the Fuel Tank, will do
Then, I did yet MORE work in the trunk area
I said that tonight was the night - And it was
Bye Bye Wheel Well.
Well Worth the Effort
The bent part in the middle will also say goodbye to the car, no need for it to be there when the cage comes in
Any guesses to the weight of the wheel-well and the holes i had to drill for the spot-welds ? Hehe
Stay tuned for more.
Cheers
