Going to paint in 2 weeks time. Still collecting some parts - like this sprinter badge - I need one more to complete car

Hi guys, latest update on the 15. We have decided to go with a 4agze instead of the 20 valve. Things are moving a bit slow but Motor is in. Modify breaks this week and off to paint in 3 weeks time. Found the dash-board-doctor. 71 Sydney Rd. Coburg ph. 9383 6861 - Ask for Allan. He quoted me $250 over the phone (site un-seen) Job completed for $220 - This was for full restoration. See images below. Highly Recommended! *Engine mock up complete. see pic below.

Homers ke15 UPDATE Work is Progressing to the point where she's booked in for the diff to be installed on the 18th of this month. I ended up going for the 2 wheel drive hilux LSD. Also have purchased Black top 20V and T50 Gear Box As you will see in pictures below. Have meeting this week with motor sport company for the install of motor and box. Pannel beater booked in 3 weeks time. Thats all for now. Thanks for everyones Posts and Comments ! :lolcry:

nice one dave. good to see world wide, these baby's are sort after. just picked my 2nd sprinter 6 weeks ago. if you ever come across those bumperettes again pm me :hmm:

sorry but no. looking for a few bits for it, as it is the main focus and project. hope to make it a christmas pressy???????? oh yeh $400 was da num car complete bar seats & roof lining

yes it will be a sleeper, i picked it up a month ago ( near dandy ).. mainly as spare parts, but when i saw it had nearly no rust i knew this would make a better project. the car had a small interior fire, but the leather seats out of my ke17 will go in. so i will be looking for some bits. p.s. has any one seen a 4agze in a 1x model ?????????
