It seam to be going very slowly. I was hoping to have it done by the end of the year but that wont happen.

Ive brought a few more things for the motor
HKS 272 cams
HKS cam gears
HKS valve springs
Ferrea 1mm o/s competition plus valves
I got another head as well.

These parts should come from Toyota on Monday
Gaskit kit
water pump
oil pump
tensioner
the 2 idler pulleys
thermostat
5s rear main seal
welsh plugs
and the dipstick fitting is a couple of weeks away.
once I have that ill go back to the engine builder to get the head done. Need to get the oil feed for the balance gear plug as well.

The only thing I have done on my car is try make a fiberglass mold of the floor for the "special"
interior I have planed for it. But that turning into a nightmare and ive only just started.

kameleon Its just one of those things didnt plan on it but had already relocated the fuse box and one thing lead to another.

mister_two Thanks

lmt Was waiting till I had something decient to post

MR2QIK The engine should be done but still plenty of other stuff. Basicly rebuilding the whole car not just the engine. And I have decided to keep it the same colour

dylmrt Big thanks for all those parts

xmr20 Im sure they wouldn't sell to many of them.

Havent done any more body work, I dont really have the tools needed to fix the guard and 1/4 panel. Will need to find someone pretty soon to get the engine bay done.
