Last saturday I spent some time working on a floor pan piece.
I cut out the spare tirewell so i could fit the differential.
I still have to trim it up to exact size and do some contouring.
I'll probably just use this piece as a template/practice and make a cleaner one for the final.
Will also need to run a few beads to stiffen it up.

(Oh and I used 20gauge paintlocker sheet metal)

I don't have any pics as of yet.

I received brand new OEM control arms, rear bumper brackets, and polyurethane FCABs from gt4.com.pl
I need to have the new oem bushings pressed out and the new polys put in. Debating if i want to get a 12 ton press from Harbor freight to do it myself.

i'm WAITING for a certain member to have JDM tails sent to me....money was sent last week, just waiting for the post man i guess.

maybe saturday i'll go to my garage and finish forming my rear floor template and then make the real one to be welded in.

need to save money for ball joints and TEIN or BC coilovers.

Well we're officially selling the house where I keep this car at, so i'm losing my garage frown.gif
Luckily I have a friend who I'm pretty sure will let me keep it at her house in her garage until my fiancee and I get married and get a place with a garage.

WOOT I'm getting married this August BTW which is also causing coilover funds to be lacking.
However I'm saving like 5k on this ring potentially so coilovers might be here sooner than planned biggrin.gif

Hopefully it will be. Once I get the rear bolted up I'm going to look for sway bars and brakes.
I'm thinking LS400 4 piston calipers and rotors (either LS or supra NA and hopefully in 2-piece)

dont order oem supra rotors, those bastards come with 10 holes in 5 x 114.3 no where to redrill
