see I was going to say that... but then I thought you might want to meet us some where else :) oh and people I will add its a classic car show... so they do bump cars they don't consider classic.. .which I suspect would count for most of the "late" model stuff like ae82's and later.

Ok people.. plan is to meet at the BP just past Calder Raceway (heading out of town) at 7am. I think for a 7.30am departure, but it might be a bit earlier than that. Will keep you posted. There will be a bunch of Celicas, along with what ever Corolla's we can rustle up. To be parked together we need to go in together, so the group needs to stick together and probably regroup outside just before we go in.

There are mixed reports on the rubbers from Thailand. I put the door rubbers in a KE10 and they seemed OK, and I used the front and rear screen rubbers in a KE35, again seemed OK. But I didn't hold on to those cars long term to see what they ages like. Lots of other people don't rate them at all. Options for rubbers are rare spares, clark rubber, scotts old auto rubber and probably a few others. phil's rotarys in queensland appear to be a reseller of the thai stuff, so don't buy that thinking you will be getting a good deal

as taz_rx has already indicated, the will just be a replacement stock style rotor, that happen to be made by brembo no different to one that is branded DBA, RDA, etc.

Looks like it has plenty of potential. Subscribing to watch the goodness unfold.

The more the merrier! I will post more details of meeting points etc in the Vic Hanging Rock thread in the next day or two.

They been known to ask cars that they don't consider classic to go park in the public car park. Chrome bumpers are one thing some other shows specify but not necssarily hanging rock. This is less likely to happen if you come in as part of an obviously organised group. The classic celica guys will be meeting at calder to go in together, so I am planning on joining them.

Nice! I love this car....Does this mean the KE55 has been sold??

i remember when a 240k was thought of a piece of junk...now thanks to old school japan coolness they are cool :)

I like them!! They would look even better against the brown of my AE71 :)

Sensational fastback.. subscribing to see your work unfold!

Nice pick up. Your mate let you steal it!

Nice car and nice conversion work. Subscribing for updates :)

That was painless.. visited centre rd wreckers..grabbed auto cross member without killing myself when the gearbox fell out.... grabbed generic steering rack boot... fitted both items easily in an hour. The guy was right about the cross member being bent!! Discovered the road worthy man was working today so nipped back down to see him and all checked off and now Mr Hanky has a nice green RWC to his name. To celebrate I decided to bang the Kings rears that I got off ebay into it. They had been chopped a little, but I would say they are pretty well right where I would have wanted them...no dragster look .... no dragging bum look...just right! He got a coolant change too since I couldn't bear to see rusty water running through his veins anymore.... Reckon Mr Hanky might be my ride to Hanging Rock. I reckon if I sneak in with the rest of the Toyota's they won't bounce me out for being not classic enough :) Thanks Evan and Bamboo once again for the tips on the steering rack boot. It was a piece of piss :cool:

AJPS post stuff very cheaply if thats the concern?

Anyone after RT132 Corona struts for a simple brake upgrade should hit Centre Rd. There is one down the end of the Toyota row at the back that still has its struts in place. Not much else of note there. Careful around the white AE71.. the gearbox is held in by a few linkages and thats it :)

Thanks Evan, thats a really good run down. Sounds like its time to invest in a ball joint separator. I got away with a big hammer on the ke35 but probably farked my ball joints in the process, so i should do it right this time eh :)

Ahh Mr Hanky you cost me so...... RWC Inspection found a bent auto gearbox cross member, a split rack boot and a taillight globe out (they were brand new farkers!!) Off to Centre Rd tomorrow for a cross member... and now I have to figure out how to replace a rack boot!

Any one we know Woz?

I second dandenong rebores. They did a head for me and the work was excellent, fast and well priced.

charade isn't repaired and in a state that is show worthy... mr hanky might be registered then, but not sure he is show worthy either... as for the celica.. it might happen... maybe...

there is always a contingent of celica's going from toymods/classic celica club vic... i am planning on going but not sure what in yet!

great work.. looking forward to seeing your progress!
