Got quite a bit more done on the old turkey over the past few weeks.

Got the front and rear strut braces fitted up:





Had a new exhaust made as the one I bought just simply did not fit due to the 6 degree beam and supra diff. Didn't get many pics of it, I should have whle it was on the ramp! Went for a 3.5" tailpipe and it's also got a nice big centre box in it too so hopefully won't be too loud!







Got all the electrical bits finished so I thought it was about time to fit a battery and see what does and doesn't work! My heart was in my mouth at this point as i was expecting flames and smoke!

Luckily it didn't catch light! Lol! And even more surprising was the fact that literally everything bar the dash lights and electric mirrors worked! The dash lights was just a bad connection on the back of the instrument cluster and I haven't looked at the mirrors yet. Ive got 12v at the coil pack and 5v at the MAP sensor so I'm happy the the ECU is powering up ok and the fuel pump primes when the ignition is switched so its all looking good. Well happy so far!







Looks a bit spooky looking with the lights on in the garage

Fitted a fuel pump pre filter last night:



It's all starting to come together quite nicely





Still a fair bit to do but I'm hoping tomorrow will see the engine running so fingers crossed! Getting nervous now especially considering the problems I had last year but I've got confidence now that Tony has worked his magic!
