    • 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

                • Hello everyone and Happy New Year.

                  Had some news for you, but didnt have the time due to work to upload the progress

                  So . . . first things first . . .

                  Started with this



                  Removed this





                  Leaving me with this



                  Where some serious work will take place. Can you guess what it is about ?
                  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.

                  I guess Santa will come full handed, wont he . . .

                  More to come . . . Cheers . . .

                  • 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 some more supplies then . . .













                        Removed pump- gonna clean it and propably buy a second one - - hehe yes, it will be needed.



                        Fuel Filter Removed too - also a second one will be needed i guess



                        At the back I am doing a lot of work which is yet to be completed





                        Removed the diff cover and Tom did some measurements





                        Lots of work ahead



                        Cheers, more to come

                        • Tom sounds like a very knowledgeable man lol

                          Great job man

                          • 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
