Updates on Gojira Toyoda

Goin Green!

It's been awhile since the last update, reason being that progress has been crawling along at a snails pace. That being said, February, March and April have been pretty depressing months for both me and the car.

The Cleaning & Painting Crew: Yao Loong, JP, Wei Hong, Choong Shyr(not in pic)

There have been a few bright moments lately with the engine being dropped out, allowing us to clean 26 years of built up sludge and silt, before prepping and painting the engine bay.

Chrome Sprayed Power Steering Box

Took the opportunity to spray the power steering box to make the engine bay look as fresh as possible, on a super tight budget, we got the master brake cylinder as well, but I did not snap a picture of that.

Lots of hoses and piping to be replaced

In need of some new bolts, pipes and hoses as well as rubber strut mountings and struts, and springs, and...SIGH... a lot more things. But we're getting there.

EP Racing Fender Bolts replacing the stock steel items.

With the engine bay all bright and pretty, we test fitted some shiny new anodized aluminum billet fender bolts from EP Racing to replace the rusty and heavy steel ones. Looks good right? We'll i think so at least.

Also really stoked that I managed to pic up a original set of staggered old school 1st generation WORK REZAX 3 piece rims which are 8jj front and 9jj rear. They are a little rough, but with some paint and polishing they should look really good and bring me a lot closer to achieving that slammed old school JDM look I'm after.

Hopefully it will look like this in a month before i spray it black =)
