My Project Drift MX73 Cressida **UPDATED 3/11**
A few companies and associations are assisting me with this build/progress specifically Redshiftdc ( www.redshiftdc.com )
I purchased the car from a woman that works with my roomate for $300 with a BHG, after trying to replace it and finding a cracked piston i decided it was finally time to upgrade to a full track beast from my previous AE86.
its a 1986 Cressida Sedan and this is how it appeared when i first picked the car up.
Since then i have removed the 5MGE powerplant and tranny, completely stripped the interior, removed the sound deadening, and begun to clean up the chassis for its engine install this upcoming weekend down in chesepeake.

after removing sound deadening and previous to cleaning it

I have a ish load of parts waiting and some more coming. The mod list will be posted as i get a few more items in. The car hopefully will be track ready by april and painted later on in april. i look forward to postingn more pics soon!

Re: My Project Drift MX73 Cressida
Nice! I've been looking for a nice one for a daily driver. Let me know if you come across any in good shape/mechanical condition in your search for parts.
Should be a standout from the 240's, Ae86's, FD's and 350 drift cars I've seen in a few events.
