12345 we continue swapping :) — logbook Toyota Altezza, 1999
The next weekend was marked by the appearance of a normal box with a pit and a hoist)
Having driven the car yesterday into the box for "defrosting" and "heating" in my head, I already formed a grandiose plan for its almost final assembly, but it wasn't there :)
After almost an hour and a half somersaulting in a pit with Korefan Antokha and 154th box, it was decided to pull out the engine, dock the box to it and shove everything in place, which was done! Those. last weekend's work was practically in vain :( well, not counting the acquisition of great experience in installing the engine on the street using improvised means;)
After installing the engine-box tandem, it turned out that the holes for the bolts for fastening to the body of the standard "ski" (fixing the box cushion to the body) from the JZX110 are slightly wider than necessary. Therefore, it was decided to take and finish the "regular" "ski" from the "native" box. A nuance also came to light - the tunnel is not intended for the installation of the 154th box in an explicit way - in one place it is necessary to expand somewhere by 1 cm, namely from the driver's side, at the attachment point of the tail and central parts of the box body.
The result of Saturday's work were:
Installed engine (re) with a box.
I apologize for the lack of photos, they forgot to take the camera with them and were very busy with the process;)
