figured i'd post up my build pictures of my sr5.
buddy of mine traded for this car back in 2003.
after a few rattle can paint jobs and cut springs she sat like this.

then went through a couple of other friends and eventually came back to him as a bare shell....but with a cage.

picked it up off my friend...pulled it to my house...then the fun began...

started with basically nothing...so had to piece everything together..big pain in the ass. but i had a buddy that hooked me up with some parts

sent block/pistons/crank to machine shop to get worked and freshened up. but in the meantime....
bitches get stitches



sold the bike to help fund these...

back from the machine shop



little bit of paint


assembling motor in kitchen ftw

and in she goes

attempting a semi wire tuck

finished!

awesome build.

very nice.

awesome job bro!

man....looking at your engine bay tells me that i need a wire tuck.

Nice build man!

thanks!
haha i noticed i left a bunch of stuff out. didn't get pictures of everything i put in.
i need to get some better pictures of the exterior of the car.
recently ordered some new "toyota corolla" and "sr5" decals for the hatch for when i paint the car. gotta keep it real.
ordered my drivers side seat rail today so i can install my sparco seat...which has just been collecting dust in my closet.

having done some more work to the car this weekend i thought i'd go ahead and update this.
installed a manual rack with ueo inner tie rods, ueo tension rods, and a knock off ebay header.
haven't had a chance to take it out yet though

did a quick alignment. need to take it to my friends shop and put it on the rack, but i broke the stupid lugnut key. working on getting that repaired right now.
next issue is getting my exhaust to bolt onto my test pipe correctly....

nice build car looks good

Good to see this is still in progress and not roadkill . Stupid me mis-placed my lug key. Fortunately I only had one security lug per wheel. I just took my big vice grips to each one (they were the expensive lite aluminum ones :/). Glad the kit was ready for either a 4 or 5 lug setup.
