Getting work done! The goal is to drive it to Canby. We shall see. I have a small window of time before I need to do a job for someone else. So the goal is to get the engine bay done. Frank helped me pull the engine. I also build some LCA's and have a manual pedal box and RHD steering rack on the way. I don't have much time to get it done!
METRIC HEIM JOINTS!!!!
Ewww what an ugly engine bay.
RHD steering for sale!
Frank helping out
Well the easiest part of the project is done.. Now to decide the color, rad intercooler combo, motor blaw blaw, blaw...

And what's with the front drum brakes on a Coupe!
That's awesome, keep those bits - I'm interested in the struts as is - put my name on them.
As James said, what's the plan? R&P I would assume? Would you make the car LHD? That would be very cool.

Although I don't disagree on the LHD idea, but as far as resale goes RHD brings the $$ Yeah I ordered a RHD MR2 rack, out with the yucky steering box of death and in with the modern steering rack.
HAHA yeah James I love working on my cars
I told my honey bunny bear I'm no longer taking on other peoples projects. I just don't have time these days. Got so much to build!
Byron I'll save the struts for you. Want my Sunny front drums as well? The coupe drums actually work really well. I just don't like how they can be darty, plus with upgradding the an SR I want a little better than 4 wheel drum brakes
Sounds so old 4 wheel drums. I remember my grandpa telling me he was excited about his first car because it was the first model year of 4 wheel brakes haha.

oh that's why there was so much packing in that huge box. i wish my fans dint cover the koyo stencil.
since you rad is dry could you check if a stock drain cock will work ? its a real pain to have to fully remove the koyo drain plug and direct the flow with a gloved hand so it doesn't spray the fire wall . if not a blood letting grove may need to be cut.

little by little.
first off.. Yes it fit!!!!
Super rusty and need replacing.
Sam says we should make some and see if anyone would buy them. I thought hey next time I'd use on for sure. Would save a bunch of time thats for sure.
If nothing else I'll have a life time supply
I so love having a CNC mill in my shop! HHMM .010" makes a nice slip fit for welding haha
Some rust that was covered by some sort of putty, maybe gutter seal? Yuck!
Not as bad as I was expecting underneath.
behind valance
Frank loves to help me sand engine bays!
don't need this hole. Also you can see some deepish rust near the battery tray. Worst area, I want to plastic off the rest of my garage and so some sand blasting. It doesn't need much.
Someone buy my old steering! My RHD rack showed up.
