It won't be available from Toyota. As mentioned, find a specialist who can refurbish the mechanism and replace the webbing. We have them in Australia so no doubt you will find someone over there.

That recore cost is ridiculous and you are getting ripped. Go somewhere else

How much did they charge to dip the apron? I’m avoiding stripping the cowl cover on the KE15 after returning from sometime away OS.

Would be a fascinating trip, but a bit close to Lebanon for my liking. There’s a couple of Cyprus sellers on eBay with a regular treasure trove of NOS parts. I often wonder if they have some sort of access and are secreting things out.

You are strolling down some scrappy flea market in Portugal looking for Italian pottery for the wife who you have left in Australia (salves the guilt), see a distributor on a tarp and within a millisecond, know it’s for a 3K without even bending down. €8. I don’t actually have any guilt, but I am missing the dogs.

There’s nothing specific about an SL that can’t be bolted in, and no one has taken the time to work out if there is a body number factor. I very much doubt that. So no reason why SL parts can’t be sourced and bolted/screwed into a less specced model.

This is a spare one I have. Nothing else fits and will require complete fabrication. I’ve also got TE27 and it is totally different

Can you show us what the clips look like and where they go?

Do you really need coilovers?

The first thing I would be doing is checking the float level in the carb (carb rebuild raises a flag). Edit, saw you have electric ignition.

Only 16 yrs later! I wonder if he still has the car? I don't know if there is a more expensive small Jap car getting around than an RX3 currently, and I'd hate to think how much an RX3 rear end is worth.

Do you have a photo of the one you are replacing?

It’s far more complicated than taking one engine out and putting another one in. Car is likely to be off the road for quite a while, especially if inexperienced. Seriously consider finding an original car and buying that and selling on yours. Will likely save you a lot of money and be worth more in the long run. There are electrical, suspension, brake and fuel considerations at a minimum you won’t expect.

Would strongly recommend grabbing that other car if you have the luxury of space. The bonnet is very hard to find in good condition. Some parts are still available from Toyota but you will need to find a parts book. I order quite a lot of genuine parts new on Impex. Essentially sometimes I'm lucky and sometimes I'm not. Otherwise it's a matter of watching out, seeing something, thinking "I will need that one day", and buying it if the price is reasonable. Has been my approach for many years for my three cars. Ebay US can often be good sources of mechanicals like brake shoes. Parts wholesalers and the like. i.e https://www.ebay.com/itm/235381582407?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110025%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.COMPOSITELISTINGS%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D266070%2C265705%26meid%3Dc929df1bdd4c4c55815e1a50d5adac70%26pid%3D101506%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D25%26sd%3D134539189491%26itm%3D235381582407%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4481478%26algv%3DAlgoIndex5SimRanker%26brand%3DMintex&_trksid=p4481478.c101506.m1851
