yes VQ is still for sale, and i am actually selling this 1jz, i have a vvti coming in next week
and BigPawr, i used a DA sander for most of the engine bay, and used scotch bride on the rest of the hard to reach places.. I used a lot of bondo on where the battery tray used to be, i literally had to hack that shit out, lol..
but yeah I sprayed it myself with primer, white base coat, pearl, then 4 coats of clear.. lets see how it holds up to the 1jz!!
