GS400 2JZGTE Build in the Mitten State by solaradude

Pretty fun day yesterday. Here's what went down...

I stopped at the post office on the way home to pick up my Aristo Hyper Rev for some inspiration:

When I got home, I saw that my MAF sensor arrived for the swap. The engine I bought didn't include one, so I grabbed one from eBay. Would love to ditch this someday, but it'll have to do for now:

Just after I unloaded the black interior and opened my mail, the truck arrived to deliver my engine:

Someone came over and bought the 1UZFE to make a coffee table with, so I was glad to have this stuff out of my garage:

After the engine excitement was over, I spent some more time unpacking the black interior components and removing all of the tan items from the car. I'm happy to report that the interior is almost completely stripped. I have the dash, carpeting, door panels (on the way), rear trim, and A and C pillars for the conversion, but I still need to source front and rear seats, a couple missing seat belts, and a steering wheel to really complete it. At least I'll be able to get started on it and collect the remaining items as I go.

My garage is in shambles at the moment. Hopefully I will have some time to get this cleaned up soon so that I can put my wife's car back in the garage, lol.

If anyone has a black rear seat for sale, please let me know!
