Default MR300: my baby's re-build

Hey all thought I'd do a build thread on my 360.

backstory.

Brought the old girl off my granddad years ago. he's been 3 of the 6 registered owners. so its got a bit of family history.
i used to be a pizza boy and in the space of 6 months put 40000km approx 18000 miles on her so she got very worn. steering brackets snapped bolts. Ate engine mounts. developed a few leaks in the body.

labour of love

I've now had 5 360's. my current daily is gonna be the 4th parts car for her. in that time she has had
4 new $44 spark plugs
new boot due to rear window shattering due to massive bass from her competition grade sound system including play station
Engine mounts i believe 6 now.
have retrofitted from a 89 model
power mirrors
heated seats
Also as alarm installed by me under guidance of my boss.

So she was a basic old girl with a sunroof.
now has an oversize glt grill
pretty low in front
has coilover adjustable stiffness shocks in rear
have duckbill and arch flares on order. (My 21st present to me)
gettin some 2" blocks
got a sound system waiting for it.

getting rust done soon. pictures to come as progress goes

black in black on black 850R. one of the rarer of the R spec due to the black interior and dark wood.
