Exposed's 1jz Build


Recommended Posts

starting to come together again! After this past week I've been motivated to get it finishe d, still plugging away on some filler panels. Lined up the fender and headlight bucket, needs a bit of fine tuning but luckily I'm not the pickiest person in the world. Would be nice to have it on the road by spring.

Awhile back I made the panels that attached to the hood hinge, when I bead rolled them I didnt account for the shape of the hinges so when I mounted the hood hinge it  over top of part of the bead roll design. Normally I would just leave it but for some reason its been bugging...the old lady says im crazy. Ended up make "version 2" of that patch panel and I think Im happy enough with how it came out.

Started working on the cold side piping for the intercooler as well. I ended up printing out some pie cuts to see what type of centerline radius would fit best, ended up using a CL radius of 3.5". If anyone needs any STL or gcodes on pie cuts let me know!

Been looking at electrical connectors and I've seen people using Mil Spec, does anyone have any other recommendations?

I cant give recommendations outside of the mil spec connectors as that is what I have purchased for my build. I however, to keep costs down went through Mouser and bought all the individual parts which cost me around $60 for a 47 position connector. 

 

Here is the link to one half of the main body that I have.

had some time this weekend pulled the engine out hopefully for the last time. With the engine pulled I had alot more space to patch some of the rust. Going to start patching up the firewall covering up some of the holes I wont be needing. Glad with all the progress I've made this far, cannot wait to have it finished!

@Jboogsthethug I honestly would have left the car as it was if it wasnt for all the rust inside of the frame rails. I cannot wait to have this thing back on the road. As soon as this one is finished Ill start another 😅

 

Haha the sad truth! I just want to get this dang build done. 5 years in July that I've been working on it! Freaking ready to drive!

started knocking out the driver side front wheel well. I wanted to try this peice as one entire sheet of steel I quickly learned Im a jabroni when it comes to sheet metal shaping 😅. I ended up dividing the peice into four smaller squares and shaping them like that. Everything was started as a paper template, I typically use ram board. It can be sourced locally and is affordable for the amount of material you get. From there everything was  transfered over to sheet metal and was snipped with hand shears to its rough shape. I cut off more than I required when cutting the sheet metal and then I did final trimming as I required it. Everything was rolled out on a cheap english wheel (princess auto special) than planished by hand.

got around to removing the sheet metal around the battery and replaced the rusted sections. Ended up lowering the battery a bit as well.

Stripped a bunch of paint and still need to strip abunch more. I gave the interior passenger side a coat of primer and assembled it. Its good to see things coming together I need to keep myself motivated to finish sooner than later.
