Hey Lammi, no, no free use of booth, no free paint. Paint is already sorted (pretty much, few areas to fix). Paid about another 4-500 for paint, yay. My mate is painting it at his house, piece by piece. I've been up and had a look, everything has come up bloody good, maybe a spec of dust here or there that'll buff right out. Funny how hes doing a better job in his back yard basically then was done in a spray booth that cost me $400 to hire. Lets not go there anyway, moving along.
I received my $600 worth of parts from Toyota (ex USA, much much cheaper).
Top row - left to right: *hidden in packaging* 2 alternator mount studs, ball bearing type thing used to retain the shifter shafts in the gearbox (when I pulled my box apart, one was missing), interior clips, 2x exhaust gasket halves, 2nd synchroniser ring set (dual synchro cones (comes with reverse gear also, can't buy the rings seperately)
Bottom row - left to right: rear input shaft bearing, front input shaft bearing, front/rear (can't remember) output shaft bearing, front/rear (the other one) output shaft bearing, set bolt for alternator (mine went missing somewhere over the last 10 months).
Top row, left to right: Bolt for ring gear on differential (I had to get the non-lsd sized bolts for my quaife LSD. I got some off an open diff I removed from a spare tranny but one of them had been crossthreaded on assembly, I actually just picked one up from toyota yesterday because I forgot I ordered them from Lithia toyota, opps, have as spare now), exhaust manifold nuts, random hose that runs parallel to the main fuel tank fill hose, 7 torx nuts for rear bearing retainer plate in transmission, crank pulley bolt, 2x nuts to attach the shifter devices off the transmission onto the tranny casing (borrowed mine to Joust from these forums and never seen them since and been unable to get into contact with him)
Bottom row, left to right:
Bolt to attach dizzy to the head (I believe, I am missing one so ordered another), third gear dual synchro ring set w/ hub sleeve (once again, come together, can't buy seperately), other differential carrier bearing (already have the one for the other side of the diff here)
In regards to writing the car off. Well, I dont think it'd happen, but to tell you the truth, im not too worried. Cars like mine aren't worth insuring. I'd be better off just having third party property and in the event of a major accident buying another chassis (NA or Turbo, whatever came up cheapest) and transplant all the gear. There is so much money in the modifications. Even if I could manage to insure it for $30000 it owes me at least $60000 and the insurance company keeps your wrecked car in the event of a writeoff.
