toyotafiberglass - Mojave tribute build
#46
You sticking with the IFS or going SA? Please say IFS so I know that you are still a Toyota purist... :o) Doing my frame was perhaps the most annoying part of my build! The entire frame was thoroughly covered with that nasty tar-like undercoating that was popular around here in the late 80's/early 90's. Talk about a major PITA to remove!!!

I wondered how you did yours. I do the same thing. Getting in all the nooks and crannies takes a while but about the only way I know of doing it with out blasting it. Drive train looks great.

ok , so now we're done with the fitting of the engine .. time to make it perdy
first I started with removing the pan .. for those whom don't know , the original oil pan and pick up on the 5Vzfe wont fit this application . so as you saw in the previous pictures , I already powder coated the pan I need ..
With the pan off , I can now drill the new dipstick location .. and install the new holder
installed with a little red LOCKTITE just for "piece of mind"
also removed the "front end" to replace with all new parts
new oil pump , water pump , timing belt , bearings ect .......

Are those "cheater marks" on the cam gears that I see so you don't have to re-do the timing later?? Just kidding, I do the same thing!!! HAHA! I hate having to re-time dual cams!
I really need to get some of that chrome powder to give it a whirl! That stuff looks really good - makes the gold pop really nice too! I particularly like how it looks more like polished and cleared aluminum than it does chrome (or at least that his how it come across in the pictures)

of course ....
I ordered some clear coat for the chrome powder , suppose to make it look more like chrome . I was kind of going for a gold and silver look , on these , and I think I have achieved exactly that ? I'm really happy with the colors , and I think it's going to go great with the brown engine bay color and exterior

little more today ..
still working on the front lift , so got the crossmembers , shocks , sway bar , axles , and a few other things
also checked the rear harness for damage , and re wrapped
POR15'ing the frame , you need to remove all the "lock" clips , so this is what I use to lock the harness into place
straps not yet tightened , as I may need to move the harness one way or the other
