Here's what I'm trying to do right now and it's a major PITA.
The door armrests. What I ended up doing is cutting the old cover into the three pieces and I traced it and cut out slightly larger pieces in the new leather.
Now I have to find a really good Seamstress to sow the pieces together.
I picked these up as well. They're out of production at the moment until Toyota makes more, if they do.
I also buffed out the headlights. I used a drill and small buffing wheel with plastic polish compound. It worked really well, they gleam more than the pictures show.
OLD--i need to put the rubber hood strip back in as well

I've been daily driving this car for 4mths now throughout the winter and it has been rock solid.
What I'm planning to do is put a W58 and the stock 4.08 diff back in the car, because I'm not going to do much more modding to this car long as the turbos are good.
I've got ALOT of time into this car and I thoroughly enjoy it. I'm thinking about paint before TX2K10....
WTF mate..
Ha! Thanks Bill!

Man, I love waking up to good news!
The guy I sold all my 2JZGE stuff from the Sc300 sent me a message this am.
This is what I'm talking about...exactly why it's better to sell your parts on Clublexus and Supraforums.
"Hey just wanted to say thanks for everything. I got my supra up and running last November after completing the swap. Motor runs great, i couldn't believe how clean the inside of it was. When i pulled the valve covers it looked like a new motor inside. After all new seals timing belt and gaskets, a tt headgasket and arp's to be safe shes running awesome. I dynoed it about a month ago and at 15 psi on a crappy tune she made 430rwhp and 389 torque. Thanks for the great deal. Thanks Louis"

Time to get back to work.
I'm going to swap the W58 stuff below back into the Sc300 with a custom 1 piece shaftmasters aluminum driveshaft and put the stock 4.08 diff back in too.
I picked this stuff up for a pretty good price.
MKIV Supra W58 75k miles(all 93.5+ Supra have extended shifters like 95+ Sc300)
Competition Clutch Stage 2(500hp)
2jzge flywheel(needs resurfaced)
crossmember
trans mount
OEM flywheel bolts(come with threadlock on them)
OEM W58 slave
OEM throwout bearing
Clutch master for Supra(still need pedals/bracket setup)

Yea it has some surface rust. We'll have to see what it look's like after resurfacing.
I'm more worried about one of the bolt holes in the flywheel being slightly out of round. I may end up getting a new flywheel if the machine shop says no go.
