Today I decided to start stripping the GTS apart. I took the dash, part of the interior, and some miscellanous engine pieces off. Found out that I'm missing a couple pieces out of the engine (coil/ignitor and TPS connector had been cut off).
I decided I'm going to try to basically make the engine look just like it did on the factory floor with a few little goodies. Plans are to delete the A/C system and keep the P/S, purchase/install TRD header, purchase/install injen intake, rebuild motor using all available OEM parts, delete cruise control, and clean/paint all parts to look new. That's basically the engine part of everything. I'm still uncertain on the rest of the setup.
Anyhow, here's some pictures from the progression I've made today.
