Not update for a couple weeks. Good bit done, All my braces are back from the powder coaters Not into fog lights and won't running them so the mounting point on bumper removed Ready for primer Rear bumper tow hook gap made Bumpers in primer Backs of the doors in colour Picked up 6 ccw skid wheels and 2 works that were on the DW 86 managed to sort out custom spacers to be made and the wheels straight off for powder coat when they arrive Back of the boot and bonnet painted. Some trims painted Nothing too exciting but finally glad to see some paint going on the car, Alot of work to get to this stage. A cheeky wee contrast in colour pic Hopefully alot more when it comes to build up in roughly a week or so all going well

New seats arrived today. Other one is still in box don't want them covered in dust More bits in paint
Been a while since I updated this. Car is nearly completed update to now Car into paint and start of build up Front end built back up Awaiting a few exterior parts coming but mostly complete Orange sidelights fitted Gold Titanium Studs on the fenders Spoilers fitted to the rear Still got intercooler pipes to make up and change out Test fit of seat. Having a few issues so new sidemounts getting made up and need to take some of the interior trim out Front end completed Spent the day masking up the engine bay. Some satin black and the engine cover in the car colour. TRD brace fitted Managed to get some braces and tow hook fitted but forgot pics. Will update next week. Then its just the diff bushes, exhaust to be finished and hopefully get it on track
Thanks guys I'm cheesing, That's it Keith wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing changing it. But wanted it to be my car so had to have a complete change. A lot more to come over the summer
Not alot really happened with the car last week or so, but moving forward still. Tow hook painted and fitted Car is back in with Chizfab now to get the rest of the little bits completed. Seats are huge so they are proving a bit of hard work Rear solid diff bushes been done Heyman knuckles fitted (awful pic) Most of the braces under the car are now all put on. Amjed has been on the car a few days this week at Chizfab so hopefully hydro will be completed and seats in this week Fitted the minty fresh cooling panel excuse the tape marks need to clean it off. Fitted some gold bolts to the engine cover just cause had some left over from the fenders And just some random pics.
Thanks mate, It's becoming frustrating how close it is to being finished but still so far as i keep adding things haha. Seats and steering wheel and few other bits in then its getting driven. Cage in June then i will be happy
Cant believe its the same JZX that was in my garage the other year.. Totally different now. Panel is a nice touch lol.
Nice panel!! Hahaha yeah total mate it has gone through alot of changes.... Your HSD's are away to live in another Chaser my mates down south too ha Well Car ain't finished so it will be 98% complete when take it down to Japfest. But for this weekends Drift4heroes event at driftland which i really wanted it completed for the guys just couldn't make it. List completed this week: :Both front seats are in : Drivers Harness in : All the bracing put back on bar the rear anti roll bar (Can't find the bushes) : Diff Bushes done : Heyman knuckles fitted : new battery car now seems to be running great Now i did actually get some info on why i was maybe having issues with it starting from hot. Few folk have said that the voltage on the fuel pumps changes when jz's are on idle?? anyone ever heard of this... It would explain why its been an issue for me as when car was on the road never had an issue, but recently since it came out my house garage its spent all its time basically just iddling so it was if its starved of fuel when trying to start. List still to be completed for Japfest and to get car finished only to be stripped back down after Japfest due to me adding alot more hahaha : Exhaust either the new one completed or do something with the original for now : Intercooler pipe changed out due to the dent on it : Steering wheel and Gearknob back from retrimmers : Laser allignment : Outer Window trims ( clips have arrived at toyota so collect when i am home) Anyway it was a trailer queen up to Driftland for this weekend due to the list of jobs needing done
That looks amazing dude. Fair play! Its going to make mine look super narrow now with those over fenders and wheels lol. Was you drifting it at driftland? How was it?
