Been off of here for a while, after (stupidly) getting rid of my Starlet I felt kinda burned out on the building cars thing. Anyway I saw this Cressida pop up on a local CL ad, and I decided I needed a new project car. So the low down is the car is a 1989 with very little rust, a damn near mint blue cloth interior that is 100% rip/crack free, it needs some body work down the passenger side but nothing near as bad as my previous X8 did.
Here is how the car started when I picked it up
Then a set of Autostrada Modena wheels came up for trade, went to make the deal and found out the guy selling them was a friend I had lost touch with after moving about 5 years ago. They are in pretty good shape with some minor curb rash, They came with 255/40/17 tires so I figured there was no way they would fit
I decided a test fit was in order to see how much smaller of a tire I would need, come to find out it only takes a minor roll in the back with natural camber, the front is pretty much the same story but we will have to add a bit of camber to get the tires all the way under the fenders. Oh and I threw on some Ford Taurus side skirts that line up with the pinch welds under the car so it now looks as low as it is
Oh and I had to throw on some drift slaps of course
Plans for the car include a ton of suspension parts from Xessive Manufacturing, an NA-T 2jz swap with an r154, JDM slim bumpers and a full re-spray in the stock color with some extra flake just for good measure
