Hello, About three years ago now, A firend and I were looking for a vehicle for our first attempt at drifting. ^Well after a failed attempt at purchasing someones blown 13B FC. ^We found this little gem ready to go to the scrap yard.
Picked her up as a rolling shell for $300, with no engine no trans, and some wiring in the trunk.
Picked up a 7MGE out of a MX83 with quite a story behind it, i will probably elaborate later... for $500
Found a W58 for $100
Some wiring and a radiator form an MKIII in a junk yard for $60 and we had ourselves a running driving cressida.
It is most likely in for some love this winter, though i have still not completely decided what direction i want to take her power plant wise.
Pics of progress.
When I picked her up

While she still didn't run I had her in front of a friends house and this happened, I was not amused...

Cleaned up the wiring a bit (It may not look like much but the under hood fuse box is inside now and the driver side kick panel box is now in the middle, I will be running Mega Squirt so before I make it pretty I will get that installed and probably run LS2 Coils)
