Gutted

We got a some work done today on the donor Supra, and found out some pretty good news about the JZA70. My friend Uttam and I went at the interior today and basically brought the parts Supra to the point the other one is at, which is down to the metal in the back. I've sold off a lot of the interior, and decided to make sure the back half was going to fit into the other car, and it does! That came as quite a relief to me, although it does look really weird. I now have a gray front half of the interior, and a blue rear half. Nothing is bolted in yet so it's not official, but I may have found my Recaro rear seats that I've been looking for, so I won't be putting in the blue seats until I'm sure about that. Here's how the parts car is sitting now.

As for the rest of the interior, I pulled off a few more pieces that I need, as well as found some questionable stuff from the previous owner in there...lets just call it some interesting leaves. I'll be going back tomorrow to take out some more parts, and hopefully bolt in the back half of the interior on the JZA70 to make sure everything actually fits properly, and cleaning up some of the stuff so that it looks presentable.

Another bit of great news I received today is that my horn actually works! I didn't think it did because of the aftermarket wheel and it wouldn't honk when I tried before, but apparently that was just because the battery was dead. I hit the center of my wheel today and heard a faint noise, so I pushed it again and it honks perfectly fine! This is a great relief for me because I don't have to get a new wheel or do any sort of wiring for that for certification. That's all for today, here's a picture of the interior parts sitting in the JZA70, none of them are perfectly in place or screwed in, but this is just to show that they fit for the most part. The only part that doesn't is you can see the speaker cover part on the top sits up high because it doesn't fit over top of the damper adjusting knob on the Tein coilovers, and the carpet is a bit wavy because I don't have the wooden board down there to hold it flat. You'll also notice there is a lid on the center console, which is in terrible condition but I'm pretty pleased to have it there now!
