Hey guys!
New guy here from Saratoga. Been browsing through the site before but figured i would jump on board today. My name is Jake. I picked up this 2000 s2k project car the end of November and have been working on it so it’s good to go by the end of spring. Bought it after the owner hydroplaned and hit a gaurdrail pushing the front frame rails over about 4-5". Well, a frame straightening machine solved that problem really quick and now i’m just replacing damaged parts and upgrading as i go. There was a decent amount of body damage but i’ve been picking up parts on the cheep and it’s been going together very easy thus far. My goals with this car are to get it back to oem body (probably adding rear fender flares but keeping the rest stock). Oem seats, roll hoops, and srs system are coming out and being replaced with a custom cage, race seats and harnesses. I’m going to use the mugen roll hoop trim piece to keep it looking clean and build a custom welded in cage. Once that is done it’ll get paint and it should get a rebuild and boost by summer. I’m a mechanical engineer with a very technical background and this has been a breeze thus far. I work in albany doing consulting and sales for commercial hvac, i also own an audio business building custom fit subwoofer enclosures. I have a new 4 door offroad tacoma as my dd, i also have a 06 r6 and a 01 bmw f650gs dakar so this is simply just a fun project car for me. I plan to drive it a few days a week when it’s nice out and do the new england rally with it in August.
Well here she is at it sits now:
_Parts i am looking for include:_
Rear bumper (AP1 prefered, but would consider an AP2)
Front fenders (must be perfect and OEM)
Driver and Pass Fender Liners
Racing Seats
4 or 6 point harnesses with a valid date on them (must have at least 2 usable years)
Anything aftermarket
