Not much to update....
Slowly have been doing minor things on the car....completed installed all powdercoated pieces....
Still have yet to install new crank position sensor.....lol...it has been sitting on my work bench for a few months....
In progress of removing rear diff....and about to schedule a day to drive to Accelerated Performance so Dan can install the TRD LSD into gs400 pumpkin for me....
Tax return should help to finish rest of build...i.e fuel system...

Stripped down hotside to get ready for ceramic coating...
Many members have asked me how I bypassed heater valve...this should give you idea of how I did it...Although I am going to redo the lines in back with some leftover -10an braided to give it a cleaner look

Painted diff with Chassis Saver by Magnet Paint......it is same as POR-15
You dont really need that much....a it is pretty pricey at $40 a quart....I should have quite a bit leftover and prob do rear subframe with it before install diff
This should help to keep it looking new.....and keep it from getting surface rust again
Havent decided yet what to do with diff cover....it may get the gold treatment.....
