engineering cert will set you back too :y:

get them lowered to suit the front springs. :wink: very clean look you have going there. still needs bigger wheels though :happy:

Ditto is Aussie slang, for "I'm in the same situation as you" or "Me also". Eg. "Id have a fishtank over that any day." to which you reply "Ditto" This isn't limited to car talk. Eg. "Shit mate, I reckon I'd go her" to which you reply "Ditto". Noob is Gaming slang from the original Expansion players of World of Warcraft. Is a derogatory term used to put someone down because they aren't as well practised, Or can't yet grasp the concept. Eg. Person A asks person B to point out a headlight on a Vehicle, Person B points to an indicator. Person A calls Person B a "Noob" because he doesn't know a cars anatomy well enough yet. This isn't limited to car talk either. Eg. "I bet noone has ever played cricket on the big dish in Parkes" To which you reply "Noob".

Make custom everything. Or Use everything from a 4ac, from an ae71 that bolts straight in.

You blokes are real perfectionists. Haha. Wish I had that kind of patience... I might have to road trip past your joint when I come down to Tassie next :wink:

Wouldn't mind seeing a photo of the setup. I'm keen, pm a price for me mate?

Looks good mate! don't buy Taiwanese imitation shit ;[ always breaks after a month.

ill have the one you don't want :y:

Depends what engine? Excel radiators seem to be the go especially for a 4age, if you get one from an excel with air con, you get 2 fans with matching shroud. Should be able to get the thermo switch too if you're lucky. K radiator should be fine for a blown k motor. 1 fan should be suffice. Depends how good you want the build to be really. If you're going all out with custom everything, might aswell get a radiator built to suit :yes: Hope this helps. :y:

Wow, the purple is f@$king amazing. I can't paint my car that colour now that you've stolen it haha. Good work mate. Make the wheels chrome! Is your old man a panel beater?

any electric fan that will fit flush up against the core is fine. If you want to do it properly, you should probably set up a thermo switch. A switch that tells the fan to go on when it reaches the desired temperature. Or you can do it the super easy way, but more annoying in the long run, a flip switch on the dash somewhere to turn it on and off. The thermo is better, as it switches on automatically when the engine gets hot. I'd recommend this way. The switch is easier to install, but you have to look at the temperature gauge all the time, and if you forget, your engine dies.

ive been looking for one since november. haha. :happy:

Hey Dean! Welcome to the club :y: Corollas aren't usually worth much more than a set of golf clubs or even a brand new Nissan Micra... But I assure you everyone here thinks they're priceless because of their character and simplicity. They're a good solid daily, easy to get CHEAP parts for, and highly customisable. If you're looking into starting to modify cars, you've made the perfect choice! An '81 panelvan is hard to come across. Keep in mind, that the panels and trims are different to the sedan, and aren't easy to find. They're the same as T-18s. If I were you, I'd lower it 2" and find the original set of chrome bumpers, and you're set. Inspiration. Goodluck.

Spotted today outside a bakery in Coburg :o

I made mine up with the Throttle wheel from the standard carby, and welded it to the linkages on the dellorto. ke70 cable one will definitely work, length is good.

Thanks guys. Definitely! Come round. more driving :] Getting the computer on saturday hopefully.

can we get a second group going up so we don't get 4 days of leave? maybe 1 instead. I can't get 4 :glare: to go straight to the gold coast, perhaps.

Update: Some of you may know, Nancy died a little bit. Found bad seals, leaking oil everywhere. New seals, all fixed. My Air filters arrived, and fit perfectly. No touching brake booster. I'm buying a timing comjputer from jaycar, that will fix my advance problem. So she'll be running smoothly. Battery has died on me also. Almost ready...

buy 10 acres of dirt.

Would you mind explaining what's wrong? What the car is doign when you try to turn it over, or where you think you've gone wrong? Might be able to help better :y: Goodluck!

Good dates! That wont leave much time actually doing things, haha. Might stay on the gold coast for a rest day or 2, go to a theme park and some pubs head home when you come back through after. Perfect weekend. :cool:

Welcome to the club mate! Should try to come to some of the meets and see some of the other members' cars. Get some ideas :hmm:

in front of the radiator behind the beaver panel? you'll have to make custom mounts wherever you put it.

love youuuu

definitely fixable mate. Shouldn't stress she'll be back up and running in no time! I have panels if you need, they're blue though. :yes: Females shouldn't be allowed to drive!
