so test fitted the dash and centre console against the skyline tunnel and lines up as it should
quick bracket to lift console level and job done

couple pics
fuel tank is in
rear brake t piece is in, if anyone has the two brake pipes off it let me know if not ill make some. ignore cobwebs lol
clutch pedal modded
abs block built and fitted, just need the passenger front brake line now
billet rear diff cover fitted
strut brace test fitted
hydraulic cylinder fitted, if anyone has the foam and cover for heater pipes let me know
then i set about the diff, oh what a game i had, the diff had to have the casing shaved off to fit the beam but its in
front brackets fitted
and all bolted up
then poly bushes re fitted, alloy beam mounts, and roll bar fitted and hubs
so just rear diff mount and drive shafts and beam can be fitted
then ill be on the hunt for brakes and coil overs and brake pipes and hand brake cable to finish the rear end off, i have my eye on a strutbrace as well

well update time at last lol
im unsure if anyone has ever fitted a supra diff to a escos yet but man ineed about 4 pairs of hands, alls i can say what a bitch it was, had to buy sockets to grind down to fit the driveshaft adaptors, then mod the diff to fit the beam
so yesterday and today ive been fitting the beam, simple process usually but no
first was the mounting plates and with alloy beam mounts there wasnt any give so had to fit everything backwards but got it all fitted so the beam can be held in place
then this was the fun part, i had to drop the tank again and fit the diff mount first and use domed bolts at the front as std bolts hit the top plate, but it was a case of lining it up, so loosesly fitted it bolted fiff up and tightened the back bolts first, then had to grind down an allen key once diff was dropped again to do the front two bolts up, pull diff up and alighn the holes through the top of the tank while its dropped hanging lol, as well as fit the spacer plate between the mount and diff, alls i can say is never ever again am i doing this
but some pics
the gap and allen key i had to grind down to fit
driveshafts and roll bar fitted
so next is coilovers brakes and lines and handbrake cable
i also need to find a 10x18 et0 wheel to try as well so i can test fitment of the arches

tested a 10x18 et 0 wheel today with a 265 tyre, it fits like a glove
full extended to the point the drive shaft is resting on the chassis and it still turned with no rubbing or a little bit on the edge of the bumper but only when its right up in the arch
so now i know what size wheels i need for the car now thanks to cutch for sending me down a wheel
