Settled

Well both Supras are now (somewhat) happily sitting at the storage spot. We picked up the parts car the other day and towed it over to it's new sitting spot. It doesn't look too bad, the underside appears to be a little rusty, but it's been far too cold and windy the last couple days to really get under there and check it out. It doesn't help that it's parked in a gigantic puddle in the day, which turns into an ice rink at night.

The body of the car seems decent, the paint isn't in the greatest shape, and the drivers side of the car has had a collision of some sort, there's damage to the front fender and the mirror has been replaced, but it's all the same colour. The passenger side looks good, namely the fender which is what I'm after since mine is kicked in. It's got a bit of rust on the inside, but I can chop that away for now, I just want something that doesn't prevent my door from opening. Here's two pictures of it where it's sitting now.

The interior is probably the best part, which is great for me because that's one of the main reasons I bought the car. It's mint, no tears in any of the seats, just a little bit dirty. A good vacuum and washing up and it will look completely perfect. It's the blue colour, which isn't too bad. I would prefer a gray interior, but those are pretty rare, and anything is better than the 80's burgundy of my last Supra, in my opinion. I'll be removing basically everything behind the front seats, like the back seats, all the panels and carpets and everything, as well as the console lid, and installing them on the JZA70 for my insurance appraisal. After that it can go back to gutted, or maybe just keep some carpet or something to make it a bit more visually appealing. As I've mentioned before, the back seats on a Supra are completely useless anyway because of their size, so I have no problems with not having them back there. Here's some pictures of the interior.

So the parts car has been pretty successful, and I'm going to start parting out the rest of the car soon for anybody else that needs some parts. Of course, while I was there I went over to visit the JZA70 sitting all crooked in her storage spot. Hopefully I get my subframe soon so I can be one step closer to having it rolling. I'm torn between two different subframes currently, but I'll be making a decision and picking it up next week either way, then another two weeks and it'll be up to it's new location to start really getting to work! Here's a picture of the JZA70 and the wheel dollies we used to get it onto and off of the flatbed, the shovel I used to clear a path to get it in, and the tow rope wrapped around the tow hooks we used to straighten it!
