I'm a toyota nut so its only natural that the motor and suspension stay toyota  . 2jz-gte!!!!

^thanks. they'll be a lot of work for sure!
tonight i played around a bit. made a new passenger side center pillar, and finished all the rest of the jambs. also made a headliner and the toyota emblem will be on the headliner. also started on the floor, but really need to get the frame built so i know how much tunnel it needs.
another pic with the s-10 thingy i still need to finish

Really nice build!! I love those Aoshima kits! I was in Japan a month ago and everywhere I went they were sold out.
