| The Plan for the future |

| This is no far from what the engine bay looked like when I first picked up the car - an unattractive mess that didn't run very well at all. |
| The bay at 10th May 2003 |
| Well I have managed to progress from the unattractive mess to what you see below, I now only hope to add a couple little performace mod's and have a professional and back and repaint the bay and the engine side of things will be complete. |

| This may take 10 years but it will happen, so here's a general plan (its not in any particular order): 1. Take out all the rust, re-duco the whole body (again, properly this time) 2. Redo the interior, I am becomming very open minded towards a new set of seats so i have been looking at everything, larger custom sun visors, seamless head lineing, new plush pile carpet and recover the back seat and door trimming to work in with front seats - I will be looking to do a light interior. 3. Re-do or replace all the chrome work 4. Get a 5 speed Supra gear box 5. Replace all the windows cause they are in shocking condition (they are scratched beyond belief)...think about getting a tint 6. Get an alarm, keyless entry and central locking 7. Drop on a significant Yella Terra Head with 350 chev rockers, slide in a stage 3 solid cam, and hyper tech flat top pistons and the engine side will be complete. If this isn't good enough I will have to have a closer look at the bottom end. |
