The gearbox is a 1JZ R154 
Creeks, the van was a real mess when i found it... see the first pictures. So yeah, the panels aren't perfect, unless i fit new ones
The front arch has been cut back off again. It needs to be wider. Then we should just about be ready to take it out for a test run.
The mirrors are a bit too shiny - heh heh

Video coming soon when it's running properly
The first drive out today. I took it for a spin to the petrol station. We got there and back ok as it's only a few 100 meters away, but there is a problem with the engine, it keeps bogging down when you apply the throttle, which i think might be fueling. I'm fitting a FRP tomorrow to see what the fueling is like.
Also a problem with the back suspension. I think when i bought the secondhand coilovers, they had been taken to bits and not put back together properly, so i'll be taking those off to have a look tomorrow also.
Wish me luck.....

A few pics with the front arches modified again and running at the sort of height i want to run it at.
Battery box now sorted and secure.
New tyres on.
Both seats now fitted.
Fuel tank breather needs a fettle because it dripping fuel out for some reason even those the breather is at the highest possible point.
Opening quarter window need tightening up as it keep slamming shut when you get upto speed.
Clutch pedal is playing up, after adjusting it and adjusting it again it seems to keep changing position so that there is either zero free play or mega free play. (maybe needs bleeding?)
Brakes seem ok and it drives straight. But when changing up gears from 2 - 3 at high RPM it crunches.
Basically just niggly bits and bobs now... Gymkhana event coming soon
