I always wondered how hard it is to polish stuff , so I figured I will clean and learn how to polish on this engine since I need a lot of stuff to be polished in my Supra MKIVs



After 10 minutes of using the grinding kit with the dremel , now I know it will entail some work but not hard at all. Getting this engine done with me polishing the parts will take a while I figure and I know polished parts needs a lot of maintenance compared to chromed parts just like I have on my 6 speed supra. All I need is a clean rug to wipe of dirt and its shiny.

I have never been a fan of the new Lexus SC300 / SC400 look. So I would be posting the 1997+ body kit on the FS section and Craiglist soon. The whole kit will include the front bumper , side skirts , back bumper with those extensions and the trunk with the spoiler.

Got an older SC trunk and back bumper to be installed once the 97+ body kit is sold . I need an older SC300 front bumper that doesn't need the lip. That is the kind of bumper I want on this SC. I will get this SC painted before the 6 speed swap.

That will be great , so you can pick up my block and build my stroker motor I need for the 6speed swap SC.. .. been collecting parts for it. I know you prefer JE pistons but looks like I can get a good deal on CP pistons locally.
