Today i pulled apart most of the car,all interior except the dash has been torn out.
Once we get the lexus out of the shop we will move the wagon in and drop the subframe
and front suspension.
i got a 86 one from a friend so we will be throwing in a manual rack and ditch the steering box.
im still waiting on a few things to sell so i can order my mounts.
once we have the motor fitted we can chop up the trans tunnel.
after that the bay and inside of the car will be painted.
much more progress soon:)

I LOVE THE LOVE BOAT. Man, this engine is gaining popularity exponentially and for good reason. i've considered it myself but can't justify it against the simplicity of the 3TC...i'm so freakin lazy hehehe.
