Nov 7 sounds good, any location not too fussy :)

Blanking plates for mirrors are easy to get for the left side. Lots of base model AE71's had mirror on the drivers door only and blanking plate passenger side. Same goes in the USA only their passenger side is our drivers so jump on to 3TCgarage and get a wanted ad up. Pretty helpful guys from my experience.

You've got his address, maybe send a box of tissues?

Yep that's the one reed, spotted the camber straight away when I pulled in the car park. Tidy little beast.

Spotted a nice little beige KE70 early front with good low height and camber, some odd kind of mesh wheels and flared guards at Rocklea yesterday. Very cool.

I'm across the road from story bridge hotel, already thrashed that pub and my liver. Was kinda hoping to stop drinking just for the weekend and do something a bit more normal. ie: car related. If nobody wants help with a project car I'll go out exploring. I could possibly end up driving 'shudders the fancy fairmont' on the weekend because my crazy work colleague bought a car yesterday so there's a vacant company car...

C'mon folks I'm staying in a shared apartment with crazy folk and need an out. Don't let me go back to Melbourne thinking you have no car scene...

Hey folks, work keep sending me up to brizzy plant to sort stuff out. I'm flying up for another two week stay today and will no doubt want something to do on this coming weekend. I'm staying near story bridge and don't have a hire car. Any suggestions welcomed or if someone wants to organise a cruise even better. Alternatively if you need help with a project car, come get me and I'll give you a hand. I'm a fitter/welder so I'd be better off helping rather than wasting time stuck in an apartment. K GO.

If there's something on the weekend of the 13th/14th I'd possibly be keen if this gets postponed away from the Easter weekend. I'm likely to be back up to Brizzy for work again, staying in Kangaroo Point. So keen to get out and actually see stuff rather than being couped up in appartment being bored or thrashing the local pubs...

Some gold centre rewinds from T3, and some jap chrome bars would look the business on this. Such a cool colour.

Whatever pads you can get for RA60/MA61 should work in the Cressida caliper too from what I understand, I'm running the ferodo pads that were in the calipers when I pulled them off the Cressy at pick-a-part and they're fine so far. RX7 calipers would be overkill I recon, and will not work with MA61 rotors as the FC runs 22mm thickness, MA61 is 18mm I think. Mounting bolts are around the 89mm mark off the top of my head. If they're for the KE20 the MX62/MA61/XT130 upgrade will be plenty.

Bought some endurotec +1mm oversize pistons and chrome rings (Hastings) this week. Looking forward to getting home so I can get my cams and sort out a couple more bits for the build. Working away sucks in some ways, but good in others. Pistons were dirt cheap from the supplier 5 mins from my work in acacia ridge. We get reamed on car part prices in Melbourne.

I can't explain why but I like it, looks like an absolute ball to drive.
