Got a little break from school and work so I pulled the project out of . I've ordered some steel for the rear sub-frame mounts and while i'm waiting for that I started to work on the front brakes and suspension. I realized I might as well put extended lugs in now because the massive calipers are going to effect what wheels i can use because +35 offsett is not nearly as common as +45. Since that required seperating the hub I'll be replacing wheel bearings as well. Also the clip didn't come with brake lines so I've order a set of stoptech ss lines for a mk4 supra tt which should do the trick. A couple pics since paint;
       I also unpacked the new clip and it was in great shape, and everything i could have possibly wanted was included. They even threw in celica door sills. If you need a clip and your in the northeast call up jdmplanet in toronto, excellent guys to deal with. I removed and wrapped up all the body panels but here are a few pics of whats left.     I found a donor car in Columbus, Ohio with front end damage. The car is a gt with really low milage with leather interior, since I will be gutting the car everything minus the rear end will be forsale so pm if interested. --------------------  1994 Supra TT 1999 Cadillac Escalade (winter ride/tow truck) 1994 Celica GT-4 Converted 1998 Celica GT-4 Converted 1987 Corolla FX 1986 Corolla AE86 (Next Project) |

HOLY CRAP!!!!1111!!!!!!!1!!!
I didn't realize what I was looking at until after a minute of looking at the car. NICE! I forgot all about this project. So it's basically just a rolling shell right now? Nice choice on the color as well. This post has been edited by SwissFerdi: Apr 4, 2010 - 10:25 AM -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

Yes this is the same car that is in the beginning of this thread. It was painted right before winter last year, i guess i forgot to post those pictures. It still needs to have the rear subframe mounted, a fuel system installed, exhaust, and I have quite a headache with the interior wiring to deal with.
