Hey Hey,

 

Bought this for a daily.

 

 

 

 

This is to replace my Corona for a while so yeah.

 

Came with new front vented rotors and calipers off a Ae112 i think, So they will go on soon along with new rear rotors and pads. Has the parcel tray still in good nick which amazes me as i havent seen many around. 15x6 wheels, Might be 15x6.5 but not sure yet as i havent had a good chance to look.

 

Adjustable whiteline rear sway bar looks bling, Has yellow rear springs so they might be kings, Not sure but meh. Front struts might be shagged as it feels very very soft. oh well.

 

Interior is a bit grubby, Mainly dust but the dash is uncracked and that cover thats above the gauge's is still stuck on. Seats are nice as well. Ae82 twincam steering wheel for the win :P

 

Paint is faded very badly so it might get a cut and polish to make it look reasonable, Rust in the rear right wheel arch will be fixed soon. Might take that nudge bar off as well or at least respray it as dad decided to wrap a chain around it to tie the car down and not much paint is left on it. Removing rear shade thing, I like to see out the back.

 

Bigport 4age has a blown head gasket, Water is clean but oil is like a milkshake. So i will send the head away to be tested to see if its warped or anything like that then new gasket. Has a K&N panel filter and iridium plugs. Gearbox is nice and smooth as with the clutch.

 

So all up I'm happy with what i got and for what i paid i think ive done well.

Won't know yourself having a good daily car..

Well done Des. You got a bloody Bargain there. Good luck with the engine repairs. :P

Damn Des, Just as i was about to start a separate thread on my 2 82's as the CSX is hittin the road again and the twinky is getting a tiny overhaul and remember I have dibs on wheels if you sell :P

 

(My project threads should start tomorrow as i did a bit more to the csx on the weekend and I get started on the twinky pull apart tomorrow)

Its there but needs some work.

Got the head off on Sunday and sent it off today to get checked and its all good, Vacuum tested the valves and they are sweet. So just a surface and its back on.

 

 

 

 

Also got my fusion 6x9's in the parcel shelf to cover up the holes, Looks shit loads better.

 

 

Taking the head off is made easy with all the right tools. :jamie:

 

 

Uncracked dash but some one had switch's every where.

 

Good work Desmond, Good to see that you have an interest in this one, Waterloo boxes FTW :jamie:

 

If you need any FWD 4age shit just let me know as i almost have a spare one of everything.

I need another slot thing that sits above the cd player and a proper PCV pipe.

I had a ae82 seca the same color it use to fade the same as yours, give it an electric buff, will look good again for a while. Get that box loaded with snap on fast.

Some is snap on, Half of the extra long ring spanners are snap on. Paint doesnt worry me that much but i will see how it goes.

Nearly every red AE82 I have seen has been faded altho the other 2 red secas i have had the paint was great.

maybe they were repainted, I used mine as a daily and it regularly sat at work on full sun. had to rebuff every 6 months.

Its great to have a nicely filled toolbox, I just spent about $600 of my tools for your trade on snapon screwdrivers and ratchet spanners..
