Started working on getting it together...
Installed the new crank position sensor first....made it much easier with the whole side being empty..
Unfortunately the OCD works billet extension will not work with my manifold...so that will be up for sale soon...
Also the s300 marmon v band clamp the threads stripped out and it will not tighten.....need to order a new clamp before finishing it all up

Crazy warm day today....decided to take advantage of it and painted diff cover..
Decided to mix it up with some color this time....Also thought to use the red to signify that it has TRD LSD...plus also most suspension components...i.e TRD sway bars are red

If anyone EVER buys this car, they will never know the hours and hours of love that went into making it.........
If any of us are nearby, we will tell them how lucky they are to own it.
