Wanna know something pretty crazy?
We just measured the entire front clamshell. That gigantic thing is only 37.1 lbs!

I guess I need a new racing battery ha

Wow that's impressive! I'm curious to see if a carbon piece will save much weight!

Guff you're a treasure to this community bud. Hope I get a chance to meet you one day. I hope this build doesn't give you too many headaches, but seriously thank you and everyone you're working with for this repair and the knowledge you're sharing with other owners.

Side note, how long are we waiting before doing a national Supra fest or something?

I hope you don't have to cut off the quarter panel. About ten years ago a truck ran into my car at a Kroger's parking lot. The body shop was able to repair it.

Almost forgot to post this! Here's the first drive video and the footage of the control arm repair:




I ordered a bunch of parts that should be coming in this week. It's been a longggggg waiting game for these things to come in but thanks to some help from some friends we managed to pull in a lot of the stuff we need to get this thing roadworthy. I'll update y'all once they get in.
