Very good news! That was a nasty incident to have to restore the car from. Suggest mount some very visible reflectors on the "kangaroo" to avoid repeat surprises in the dark :-)

Use Search.
You can either get OEM or Supra mounts which are a bit stiffer. Ben had a group buy running recently, though I don't know if he can still get them.

hi everyone. Im Back... I just got back from 9 months in japan,,and my car is first on the list of things to do.. I did not have the chance to get it going before I left so now I just have to find all my bits and remember how it all goes back together..

My FMIC is in and its looking good. If anyone can aide me in pictures of front ends pulled apart (i am going through mine), I may be able to see what goes where..

Frank;
that coolent bottle can go any were.
normaly it sits between the front bar and bonnet latch
Just above your intercooler.
if you have placed the cooler to high you can also put the bottle beside the battery and the intercooler pipe to the throttle body
one of the brackets for the bottle will mount to the shroud and you can make or cable tie off the other end.
sorry about not getting back to you as well mate
I was half way through NSW when i checked the messages and just wanted to get home (Just having a little my time mate)
