Completed 3rd member!
Also a box of goodies was waiting for me on my front stoop when I got home
I also picked up some AE86 rear brake backing plates on Monday (thanks, Clayton!) and am still in talks with a guy about getting some AE86 calipers. I don't think they will fit with my Supra rotors, so I may end up having to sell those (can't return them since I painted the hats) or having someone lathe them down to the proper diameter, or just buying AE86 rotors like a sane person.

Got the steering wheel installed the other day. It is actually straight, the wheels are turned in the pic. And yes, I know the horn button is stupid, but it's the only one that will work with the wiring the way it is right now. I'll have to figure out a grounding solution to run the Grip Royal button.
I also primed and painted the axle. Hopefully the this will slow the rust a bit.
And here it is with the AE86 backing plates, axles, and 3rd member installed, as well as new brake hard and soft lines.
Now I'm just waiting (very impatiently) for a guy on facebook to respond back about shipping some AE86 calipers. I'd much rather get his than spend 3 times the cash for new ones.

Awesome steering wheel man. The diff looks good as well. Por15 is a good rust inhibitor / paint, if you have rusty bits to paint.

I didn't really have much budget for it, since it can be a little pricey. I just used what I had laying around.

In case you need to but another Cressida Wagon for parts, or whatever:

A friend of mine posted that on my facebook recently actually haha. I really don't need a third car right now, but if I ever did get one, I have a feeling it would be either an X7 or X8 Cressida sedan.

Oh man—limited slip! I need another one of those.
If you aren't worried about originality, i could tell you how to set up a cheap rear disc set up using Nissan 200 sx rotors-wilwood calipers + commercialy avalible brackets. This is the same rear used by thousands of dwarf cars-modlites + legends cars. (Including mine!)
