78_7kRolla

She'll be on the GOR run. K40 permitiing of course :D

This should be cool, congratulations on your purchase. She should come up real good with all that gear you have lying around :dance: Good luck mate

Haha yes that was me Doogs. i'm never up that way but the one time i am i got spotted! i hope i was behaving myself :dance:

Whoa! I have been waiting for this day. Congratulations mate, you really need to get a working bee to construct this shed of yours. Can't wait to see how she turns out.

Sounds like i have a 2 door copycat :dance:

All signs point to yes :dance:

Hey guys some sad news, the car is up for sale on carsales. It's making way for bigger and better things which shall remain secret (for now)! Look here...

That ruby badge looks sweet Ben. Let me know if you come across a 'spare' one! I got the chrome locking strips done on her today. Here are some pics. Before After

I also wouldn't mind meeting up at Todd rd servo. Count me in.

Far out mate, last time i looked at your progress you had only just got her. I thought i'd give it some time before i checked back but you are absolutely flying . I think that dark green will look tops. ONWARDS AND FORWARDS! Matt.

I was thinking that but they will stick up too high. I really want to get them replaced but i'll see what i can do about them.

Hahaha. I can't wait for this!

Don't worry about the dash pad but if you do manage to find that elusive grille then let me know.

That is spot on. I'm really hunting for that "ruby" coloured center badge but i'm having no luck.

Here are the pics i promised... The new seats all cleaned and ready to go in JAF sticker in top right corner of rear windscreen

Hey Josh, no updates thus far but i have scored a set of almost overrated rear seats for her (thanks to Dave - TE278U) and added fluffy dice and a Japanese Automobile Federation sticker on the back windscreen. Pics to follow soon mate. Matt.

Hey mate congrats on rego and all. Great to see her on the road again. My 55 hardtop is getting roughly 10L/100km. It would be way better if only it was a manual! Happy motoring. Matt.

This car is truly awesome. I saw no less than 4 cop cars on the way home just now and even with a divisional van following me at 5km/h over the limit it decided to overtake me and pull over the magna in front! If i was in either of my other cars (both modified) i would have been pulled over every single time. Awesome.. Here are two happy snaps from late this arvo.

Nice pick up Gav. She appears to be in very good condition to start with i'm keen to see what you do with her. Best of luck. Matt.

Thanks Adam. You'll get to see the beast tomorrow night for sure. As for when you are putting the celica back together just give us a yell and i'll lend a hand no troubles. Thanks for the link i'll have to go and suss them out. Matt.

:locked: I'll try my best to be there by 6-30 pm pending traffic from work. See you there guys

Haha spot on doogs. Granny '55 is her name. Oh and Jip it's the old man's garage but it's big enough to fit most of our cars :locked: Just got back now from driving GRN-055 all night and she ran perfectly without even one hiccup. Mighty impressed i must say. Take it easy all.

Hey guys more fantastic news! Got rego and insurance today! She's ready to roll (excuse the pun). And yes dF this will be coming on friday but my other rolla is working for now as well. Thanks Doogs this has been suprisingly smooth sailing (mostly). Here are some pics from today. Outside Vicroads in Broady lol And finally at home in the garage where she should be :] Now to enjoy it for a little while :locked:

So is it only going to be me and kehendo in rollas?

I'm absolutely wrapped Josh. Not even one thing was brought into question for the roadworthy inspection. I'll have to meet up with you and your old man's rides and we can take some photos one day!
