My MA70-1J conversion project

Heya
I just thought I would post this is up for those who are interested. I am certainly chuffed about it anyway 
The other day, I test drove an MA70 Supra from an imports yard. I have had my eye on a Supra ever since I sold my prelude.
Appart from the blown head gasket on the crappy 7M-GTE engine (which still ran) the car drives fine and is fairly tidy. I bargained the guy down from 5,200 to 4,600, knowing that it had a blwon head, and at that price, with 126,000kms it is perfect for my new project.
First of all, I am going to have to limp the car through the compliance inspection station as it is (as i bought it uncomplied). I am then planning on ripping the 7M motor out, as it is broken anyway, and swaping it with a 1JZ-GTE. Since i already have the R154 manual trans, I will need 1J engine mounts, cross member, flywheel and bellhousing. I am eyeing a 1J with no turbos at a cheap price, so i may get that and go with a single turbo set up
Other stuff that needs to be done is; minor paint work (roof, bonnet, and rear spoiler) and suspension. I am aiming to have the work (which I will my brother, who has already done the same swap into an 88 Soarer), and my dad completed in around 3 mths. By then I should have a car that puts out a ball park figure of around 200 rwkw.
P.S; if anyone has or knows where any of the parts that I listed above are floating around and wants to sell them, let me know.
Cheers
Okay, here are some quick shots, excuse the poor resolution
