Hey guys,
First, i should apologize for a serious lack of build thread, bad i know, but it kinda stalled when the build got put on hold for a few months, and most of my time on here has been spent either on research or asking stupid questionslol
Secondly, I have to thank everyone on here who have helped guide me with my build, either by answering my questions (no matter how basic, hey it took me 2 days to get the wiring loom off the camry...dont ask!), writing the build threads that have helped so much or by spending an hour trying to fit a sodding gearbox (Thanks Hasad, the spine aligned so much better after i realized i had over tightened the pressure plate bolts!:thumbsup: )
The reason I am saying these things is that at 4:35 on sat afternoon, not only did i shit myself, get a stiffy, and nearly cry (all at the same time!), I learnt a valuable lesson..........A v6 without an exhaust is damn loud............

Plenty more to do yet, exhaust, suspension, seats, tidy the wiring etc, but she fooking works so far and i am a very happy bunny!:jump:
There have been times up to this point i could have happily sold the lot, and bought another car, but once she started, i was so glad i went diy, nowhere near pauls standard, but hey.....i did that! Just hope im not speaking too soon:pray:
And in case you noticed the warning light, the oil level sensor is not plugged in, damn toyota and their habit of using different types of plugs when ever they felt like it!
