Accomplished Many things this weekend. Started up the motor but I will set the timing this afternoon. Finished the interior (floor and seats) except for the right side dash piece because I'm waiting for some ac vents to come in the mail. Front end is put together except for the grille so that the condenser can be connected properly. I primed and painted the rear bumper and touched up the wiper arms.
I've decided to break this truck up into several stages. Stage 1 was to restore it the best I can and make sure everything is working properly.

Stage 2 will be the suspension/stance. Ive decided to go with belltech spindles and leaves. Maybe crank the torsions a bit and some small blocks in the back too.

Stage 3 will be performance. All emissions removed, 32/36 weber, offy intake and a nice k&n filter. Stage 2 lce cam. I have a new MSD ignition I never used that I will add as well. Not sure yet what I'm going to do on the exhaust side. Maybe a header but My exhaust is brand new but not a performance brand, it was designed to replace the oem

Stage 4 will be body work and a paint. Original color. I want to put mk3 supra wheels but I don't know at what point. Maybe when I find a good deal. Pics of progress coming soon

 

Made an impulse buy and have the mk3 supra wheels coming soon.

 

New condenser, corner light, bumper and valance on


Painted the rear bumper

 

Looking good!

 

Been busy on the truck. I've been collecting many parts and have Friday off so I'll get to work then.


belltech spindles and 3" blocks


autometer (2397) - auto gage - oil press/ volt/ water temp gauges


autometer (2891) z series 2 5/8 tach


painted my plastic dash cover


I had the msd igintion and coil left over from another project so I bought some cables too


225/50r16 goodyear eagle GT for the 16x7 supra mk3 wheels. they are at the shop getting the hub center bored out

Not shown audio wise are a new JVC head unit (kd-hdr60 - picked it because the light is customizable so I can tune it to green to match the original gauge lights and new gauges too), pioneer dome tweeters (TS-T110) , pioneer 4" two-way (don't know the model, they were from an od project) and a 6" 100w bazooka tube (bta 6100 - very nice with a built in amp) that fits perfectly behind the seat. Pics of the install coming soon. It sounds awesome! Also have some Pilot lights for the extra holes in the bumper. Think I'm going to tint them yellow


grant steering wheel (1066) coming this week, already have the adapter

sorry for posting so many pics and and posting model numbers for everything, I like seeing pics and info on other projects so figured someone else might too.

 

sweeet ......truck is looking great

 

I gotta see how this dash cap works out!

 

Wow lots of stuff you got there. Looking good man. Can't wait to see the outcome after all the parts are on.

 

Quick cell phone pic of the interior. Just started on the spindles so haven't had a chance to tidy up. I will take some day and night glamor shots once I'm done. Really proud of the wiring job I did overall. Even ran a relay in the engine bay for the fogs.

 

looking good! i like how you went from stock resto to lowered, stereo, and wheels. haha
