Picked this up today:

Image

It's too dark to install right now. I also ordered the coil and it should be in on Wedesday. Ill pick up oil and a filter than too. I'm going w/ cheap oil for now until I can know for sure if the head gasket is in fact blown. When I drove it, it felt like it had good compression so if it is blow its probably between a water and oil channel.

Thread from the dead but we got a shop so I am finally able to work on the car.

Well got the Cressida to the shop yesterday as well as some tools and random things. I did a little bit of work...

Sorry for shitty camera phone pics, I forgot my actual camera.

Not bad for a FOERST day at the shop!

Need to pull more misc. items out of the bay and clean it and get it ready to paint, the same w/ subframes. If I can get the material I am going to attempt to make me some aluminum/dellerin bushings for the sub frame at Tech. Once everything is out, cleaned and painted, I'll start swappin stuff so I can get the GTE in. Until then I'm on the look out for five speed swap.

Wheels I came across for it:

Just need tires for em.

I am planning on using this car to learn how to do everything I want to learn like making suspension arms, bushings, welding, fabricating that way when I do it on the 240 I will hopefully have an idea of what I am doing. As far as keeping it auto... I just don't like driving autos. I mean if it comes down to it being ready to go and waiting on a trans, then yeah I'll keep it auto but if I can I want to convert it.
