Yeah, the whole thing. It's a weld in cage anyway, no way you could salvage and reuse it. The amount of hours that would take does not justify the few dollars saved versus getting a new one built.

The 98 car will stick around for a while, just in case they come up with a use for it - the 98 was supposed to go to the U.S. dealer meeting in Vegas this week, but they took something else.

can we have a moment of silence for when it goes to the crusher?

Got the old stuff out this weekend, went much quicker than I thought it would. Unfortunately some parts are on back order so I could not start putting the new motor in yet, hopefully I can knock it out next weekend.

Shiny new motor in place - you could eat off this thing.

Should have it back on the ground next weekend, then off to the dyno, and finally a test day at the track.

Sad! Wish I could swap out the drivers side mirror with mine. Mine was broken at the swivel point and is gorilla glued, and when the glue did set it sagged a quarter inch. Toyota won't sell me the broken part, I need to buy the whole damn mirror.
