[ajadorifter]

Little history about myself. Father was in usmc for 21 years, which gave me the pleasure of living in Okinawa for 8 years. I was there from 93 to mid 2000. Ross Petty was one of my best friends( garage boso) . Got in to the import car scene at a young age naturally. First car was 4agze ae86( thanks tony) one of the first swaps in oki done. Fast foward a lot of years after numerous cars and now on my last project . Started it almost 3 years ago.

Looks great!! I've always liked the mx32, I think it's one of the best looking Cressida body styles!! Love that you are doing a 1j, pure beast!!

Do you have any pics of your cars from Oki?? I think we would all like to check out how you rolled out there!!

Took A Small Step Back yesterdAy. DecidEd To Pull Out Heater Core. Gonna Replace With Aftermarket One.

[ajadorifter]

^ All That For Thus

[yukesrevolver]

Damn Nef, that's some nice IC piping, lol. Wanted to be fancy with it? You got Wats, and what is that, REAL Bride seats?! You sellin' a little something on the side?

Jk man, she's looking gorgeous. Came a long way already from what it was. Needless to say, me, Matt, and the others are just itching to see this baby rollin' around. Definitely going to have to do some group photo sessions, even if the 86 will stick out like a sore thumb next to matching colors / generations Cressida and Corona. Maybe I should convince Matt to sell me the TE30 so I can fit in with the older cars.

I've had an uncracked black dash for the 86 sitting around for about half a year now with the intent of putting it in. Haven't done it yet because I haven't gotten around to snagging a new heater core. Don't blame you on changing that out.

You also left out in that list your 240 converted to 180sx! That car was beautiful! Definitely the 'beast' car at the old spot.

[ajadorifter]
