Have been doing a bit, trying to get all the running gear ready for Xmas as I have 12 days off and want to get the car back on all 4's, so I've had a shit load of parts blasted included the Supra diff and front hubs.
They were primed and than had the axle mounts fitted before painting to same damaging the paint.
Made up a nice tool to fit the bush and they flew in a lot easier than I thought
before
after
primed
Now I've done this before and it helps to stop rust coming back through, so a coat of stone chip was applied with a brush
It will be painted, but forgot a few parts for blasting so waiting for them to come back.
Axle bush tool
Hubs, bearing are now out and waiting on new ones
Box of parts
Swing arms
Subframe, The Cosworth one was a bit ropey but the Pinto one was near mint so used that one
Rear axle
I'll get another load of pics up soon, Just waiting on a few parts before I post up what I've be buying,
What ever happened to this project? Did it get finished?
No, not yet, but I still have it. I had a few minor issues with the paint so had it sat in the garage for over 12 months waiting for the painter to have it back, then he had it for another 12 months ( still waiting on the f-ing bonnet) and then I lost interest and it's been sat in the garage since about May 2018.
I've still been sorting parts out, had the gearbox full serviced and rebuilt by Bara Motorsport a few months back, just waiting on the head to come back from a repair to one on the cam seats and some machine work / porting.
Just Been out there this evening cleaning polishing dust of the engine bay and looms and 2 of the plugs for my ABS loom that I bought from someone on here have pulled out of the loom and have never been connect so don't know what that's about, don't know if they are supposed to be connect or just put in there so as not to have plugs missing of the master servo system.
I do intend to get my Arse into gear over the winter to get some progress done on it.
Been a long time, but i still have the car and its to a point that i need to think about an aftermarket ECU and engine loom. I've not had access to a laptop that i can use for personal items such as uploading photos to hosting sites etc for a while hence the lack of updates, coupled to work commitments and having a few issues with the painting of the exterior of the car i completely lost interest for a long time and just locked it away in the garage and now i find a few years have past.
Now i haven't used photobucket in the same amount of time, so after spending almost 2 days sort photos out i've accessed it today to find they wont money to host photo's, anyone know of anywhere i can host that is'nt going to cost me !!!!!!
Cheers in advance

Roof sound deadened an new black roof lining, managed to rip the front passenger corner so ended up hand stitching a new section on, did both sides to get the same look.
Through out the build process i was accumulating parts, originally it i had no intention of a nut and bolt build, but that went completely out the window
This is the parts collection i started to gather.

I did buy a complete car poly bush kit, seems silly to upload them all
