Ah my bad, I though there was a GS430 or LS400 with the a340. Sean

Honestly for a taco, I would look at the later 1uz or the 3uz from the early gs430s that I think still used the a340. Those motors were alloy blocks and way lighter if I remember right. The 2uz is a great motor but it's heavy. Sean

You want to grind the crack out so it doesnt keep tearing and show through on the front side. Its almost impossible to make it look good if the crack is still there, you will always have pinholes or a seam. Sean

What part number is the donaldson you are using? For the electrical. I really like the TE connectivity HD30 series. Nice sealed connectors with aluminum shells and they use deutsch contacts. You can get them with a bunch of different pin sizes and quantities. Way cleaner install vs a grommet...

Is there an automotive equivalent of mixing fiberglass filler? For hull work, I have used epoxy resin mixed with microballoons, talc, cabosil, chopped strands, etc to get the strength flexobility, or consistently I wanted for different things. Sean

@the bodj what house electric service size do you have that you are running a 200a sub panel? I am planning my new shop out now that our offer was accepted on the new place. Sean

Gotta have the sick rainbow umbrella to go with it. Screw awnings, I want the land party barge vibe. Sean

Nah. I have had a couple of close calls and keep them on too. Even with a flap wheel, I don't want abrasive and spark in my face. Sean

Bummer, fooled me good. I hadn't noticed them in the other pictures before but it looks like I am just a derp. Sean

The rear door bar, slider, roll hoop combo looks great! Sean
