    Later next week i'm going to start doing the body work. I need to trace some wires in my stereo system too have some kind of problem now sure so i just don't turn it on for now. Might also do a tune up on it next week a new exhaust system is in the works looking to buy a header first. I need to find a one piece back window an do the door conversion to a one piece. For weeks now i been looking for a 4runner front end so i have that in the works.

    2jz swap is what i want to do the most but realistically. I will rebuilt the engine swap in a 5 speed i have the next 4 days off. I'm going to super clean sand and prime it i have a oil leak need to find that an replace the front shock an do a bj flip so i turn up my torsion some. I was lucky the previous owner was a elder man so the truck was well taken care of just minor body damage most of thats my fault i use it as a yard truck for awhile.

    Thinking that i might go back grey but with a crazy twist not sure what maybe a pearl, i was all so thinking maybe satin black. I don't really know might do something totally different.

    Then i pull the dash an sanded it smooth an primed the dash up an put it all back in because i can't afford to paint it right now the way i want to so ill hold off.

    [​IMG]

    Next i pulled off the front clip an modded the grill an bumper an valance

    [​IMG]

    also i install my old system out my gmc 2 memphis 10 an a 600 watt fosgate amp

    [​IMG]

    All so i pulled the old headliner out an going to start work on a fiberglass one soon with molded speakers and overhead console.

    Thats how it sits now, i'm selling a old car to buy the 4runner front clip
    in the next few weeks i'm going to be buying a hid kit, new carpet an doing = a tune up an oil change.
