Oppo sticker!
Techno Toy Tuning custom panhard bar came in and it's gorgeous! Also it fits perfectly!
Here it is installed (set to factory length at the moment, given that it's still stock height)
Now I can lower it all I want and still have a centered axle. Also drove the car for the first time with the P-Type wheels on it. I'm running the stock 195/70/14's, which, when on the stock 5.5" wide snowflakes had lots of mushroom in the side wall, but now on the 7" wide P-Types it has a bit of stretch to it. It seriously feels like it has stiffer suspension on it. It rides firmer, is much more responsive to steering, and seems like it handles way better.
Pics of the car on P-Types will come tomorrow.

I am enjoying watching this car come together. Talk about ultimate Oppo car: rwd wagon, inline 6, japanese, pre-1990's, (manual?)

Manual swap. A 5-speed W58 transmission from a 1987 non-turbo Supra.

I just got it back on the ground after two weeks on jackstands waiting for the panhard rod. It's gonna be a week or two before I do something else with it. Next step will likely be one huge spend on full suspension workings. T3 weld-on coilovers, SW20 MR2 rear KYB AGX shock inserts (cut/weld front strut housings to shorten them and the MR2 shocks fit and act as short-stroke units), T3 RCA's, T3 camber plates, Camaro KYB AGX rear shocks (again, act as short stroke), and likely going to just chop a coil or two off the rear springs for now until I figure out a decent setup. I hear some adjustable perches for Volvo's will work in a pinch, I just gotta do some measuring first.

Nice JNC is great! Would it be weird to put one of their stickers on my GTO? haha
