Oh snap!!!! Okay so there was a damn good swap meet over the weekend and I picked up some parts. There were so many more things I wanted to buy but I had to restrain myself. I'll get pictures up soon.

You know how you get pink eye right?!!! There are a few nice Crowns kicking around the Tacoma area. I love Crowns. The car doesnt look bad until you get closer to it. The base of the A pilers are buckled and the pass side quarter buckled too. Suffice to say its hashed and has since been...

I said pop!!! Not poop! So there was a request for pictures of two other projects I have going right now. So here they are. I got the Cressida from a close friend of mine. So here is the 90 toyota Cressida (next to my daily jeep) that I'll be working on when the Essex is done. Right now it...

Okay so things have been a little more then hectic around here as of late. About all I've had time todo was brace up the body and get the floor cut out. Small parts have been trickling in here and there. I saw a request for a picture of the 510 and the Cressida. I'll get pictures of the 510...

Nice truck, I'm looking at scooping up a 71 from my ex's uncle. Its pretty clean and the price is right. So what are your plans for the truck?

Okay, sorry about not giving to much idea on the direction of the car it was a late in my shift and we were getting ready to shut down the CNC machines. I have a complete SOLID frame that came with the car but we decided to not use it for this project. We are going to be building a custom frame...

So this weekend was interesting to say the least. I went to Hotrod-a-rama on friday. Drank, ate looked at cars. Dropped of my friend and went back to hotrod-a-rama and drank some more. Then I lost my 510....dont worry I found it Sat morning. Sat after I found Gumby (my 510) I crusied on down to...

And one of my favorite parts of the car. The grill. Its an adjustable grill. You can adjust the air flow throught the radiator for either winter or summer. So needless to say all of my projects have come to a sceeching halt. I now need to get a storage unit for my Cressida Drift/Daily project...

Okay so if you saw my intro to the forum you saw my new project, well parts of it anyways. Over the weekend a few friends and I crusied on up to Goldbar WA to pick up my project. We got up to Goldbar pretty early in the morning after hauling a bunch of Cressidas the night before for various...

So a few friends and I took a bit of a road trip (WA, ID, MT, ND, SD, and UT) We loaded up my buddies 2001 Dodge 3500 Diesel and headed out. We pulled into Fall City ID to fuel up and grab some snack and drinks. As we peeked down a side road we spotted this. Its a pretty well built setup...

Cmon now, they didnt pay huge money for a car they didnt build just to be shown up by some rusty, low, loud, disease ridden, pile of metal that was built in some rinkydink garage. Besides we might get their cheese dirty with our gruby hands.

Yea it is in great shape. There are only two spots that I've seen so far on the body that might need patch panels and if I do decide to patch those spots I'll only have to cut out a 9x3 section so thats nothing. But I'm not sure if I'm going to patch them yet. My biggest concern right now is...

lol, nice we are both from the NW and we both have sparky in our names. Dont get me wrong I'm not ashamed of tuner background at all. I still have one of my Datsun 510's and I'll be starting a 1990 Toyota Cressida track car soon. We'll be using a Toyota 4.0 V8 (1UZFE) as the power plant for it...

thanks for the warm welcome guys. i'll try to keep ya'll updated as I move forward with the Essex.

thanks guys, it's going to be interesting loading it all up. the guy I bought it from is a really cool guy, he said "just go through everything and if it looks like it might go with the car go ahead and load it up." He has a 1928 Essex four door with a nice blown V8 in it. He plans on throwing...
