I'm a big guy, but not LS big.

But you'll need room for the dog and all the kids. Cause you know, kids is what you married people do especially once you have a car payment or some kind of debt. laugh.gif Which is why I'll never buy a new car!

You're too late though. I already have a mortgage AND a car payment.

~bloodMoney
Then I've got some bad news for you Chris. Or good news if you like kids.

Made some progress today...







Hopefully, I can get it stripped all the way down tomorrow and start marking the spot welds for cutting out the core support.

Daniel: It looks like I'm going to need to replace the full core support. Depending on how hard it is to cut out the damaged one, I may want to just buy a new core support instead of having to cut out two of them....

How much is a new core support? I can't say I know from experience but I've never heard anything good about drilling spot welds. Does a new core support come with provisions to fit a 2GR behind it?

Devin: I picked this car up from Daniel in the hopes that I can piece the two wrecks together to make a good car. smile.gif

The silver one, Abby, is long gone...







~bloodMoney
Now I understand. I thought Abby (R.I.P.) was long gone but the lighting for the pic was horrible & this cold medicine is kicking in, lol.

I lied. Lighting is ok just looked at pics again.

I think that's what his plan is. Drivetrain from black vert goes into fixed white vert.
Yup. The white one has no rust. I'll just swap over the front end and engine set, and call it a day.

We'll see though. It depends on how motivated I am.

~bloodMoney
nice! hope it all goes well.




might as well throw a beams or 3sgte in there while you're at it. wink.gif

I thought about just dropping that 3mz in it since it's a blank slate, but I think I'm going to keep his one a DD.

I'm trying to make. Different project car happen...

I'm hoping that I can have this one done in the next few weeks, so I don't see why it shouldn't be at a spring meet. wink.gif

In the next couple of weeks, we'll start a thread and start discussing dates. When does your schedule come out?

Here I am... lol

I've made some progress in the last few weeks, and we're essentially down to the home stretch.







What we're probably going to show up in:





I've gotten lazy again, but I really do want to get the car done for this meet. It may still be two colors when I roll in, or I may just redirect the meet to my house for an install day laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

All that's really left is to unbolt the subframe from the Lily v.1 and roll the entire engine set over to Lily v.2 for installation. Then I need to get a windshield in it.

And maybe replace the dash, so that I have airbags again....

Simple stuff, I'm just lazy.

Those Lexus have great great HID projectors. And they're nice cars too. Lots of backseat room for teh sexin.

Comfortable cars, but the few I've touched seemed like the would be damn expensive for maintenance, just for a car.
