Awhile ago Jeff told me to consolidate my crap so here goes

Spec:
1996 USDM ST


Stage 1:
-invader body kit, custom bumper scoop, Velox VX-6 18" wheels, Arospeed Coilovers, GT4 rear strut bar, several different exhausts, JDM tails, 5th gen power folding mirrors




Stage 2:
- supra front end conversion (only 75% completed at any given point)


all in all, it got the whole deal of under glow, interior neon, subs, amps, dual/single exhausts, CAI, SRI, TWM SSK, and most things under the sun you can do as a ricer.

now......that stuff comes to an end and the story starts over

Step 1: remove horrible front end


Step 2: remove motor (note you can see missing "sub" frame here



Step 3: power wash clean the empty bay


Step 4: Jack stands on 4 corners and remove suspension





Step 5: pointlessly tape up and start stripping






Step 6: black primer




Step 7: ditch the interior internals



Step 8: drive to jersey in overheating truck to get a bare clip (don't forget to remove excess)





Step 9: remove donor firewall



9b: remove my firewall


Step 10: replace with donor wall


Step 11: find Ultra super dooper mad JDM elephant tite Curren parts, drive Ghetto nascar van to get it


Step 12: install Ultra super dooper mad JDM elephant tite Curren parts




Step 14: ditch the sunroof its way too heavy


Step 15: ditch spare tire well, make more room under car smooth out floor board


Step 16: remove glass from doors (heavy, and you can't have windows up while racing)

Step 17: paint engine subframe hot pink because you can



Step 18:
Realize your garage sucks so put up ceiling: only partially finished, gotta get more and clean out the crap a lot more
(its a temp garage so we make do) car modification pictures will come soon



Step: 19 Carbon fiber license plate trim


more to come soon as I get more done

When its all in one place you can really see the amount of work your doing.
Very cool. Haha hot pink sub frame thats a mint idea

like the curren conversion.

What engine are you putting in?

*hopefully* 3rd gen 3sgte.....its a 100% straight bolt in & plug in motor for my car. (electronic wise) tranny & 1 motor mount are of course the fun parts.

wow............its gonna be sick.

holy crap that is awesome! we def need more people on here doing those kinds of mad transformations!

try an awd swap too. awd curren/celica. would be interesting....

lookin good dan, good to see progress being made!

Good stuff Dan
It will be pretty unique once its done

>

plan is to set the motor up in FWD, to start, and tune it on FWD. For the sake of time and $.
Once the motor is tuned (hopefully not breaking too many axles in the process) and running like it should. I'll take on a RWD setup.

NICE.....u got some skills.
makes my car look lik crap.

added the two last pics

what a piece

Damn.....skills!

very nice.. seems VERY well planned out, nice to see someone acctually taking there time on a 6gc

question : did you have to re enforce area where u cut the spare well ? what did u do? pixxx !!!!!!

>

since i haven't done the rear end yet, the rear tirewell area has not been touched.

but if all you wanted to do is eliminate the tire well. You could use a flat sheet of metal with beads rolled into it (maybe 4 across) and that would be sufficient.

looking good keep it up

You...are insane sir...and I like it

very nice work love the front end
