I wish I could have found a good Toyota body for this swap. This car was the right size and wheel base that I needed and for the right price. It's not a Toyota, but at least it's still metric :)

I've been doing some stuff on it from time to time. I'm building the custom exhaust manifold for the bigger turbo right now. Bigger injectors are in and the custom ECU tune should be in the mail any day now. Here's a video of it running and moving. Ignore the temporary intake, it was just used...
