machg Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Thanks for that, some interesting stuff there. I could do with one of those tools that does little 90 degree bends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machg Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) Got a bit done today: - A better mousetrap - Completed front repair - Mmmmm black - Just when you think you've finished, you find more rust. Does anyone have a list of torque wrench settings for a T18/TE71? Edited August 19, 2008 by machg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machg Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Got heaps done today, finished and primered all rust spots up to the firewall, and removed all sound deadening from firewall back to B pillar. Some Pics: Used a health grill ($10 from the tip shop FTW!) to soften most of the large areas of sound deadening, made the job heaps easier: Edited August 29, 2008 by machg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golberg Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Nice idea with the grill. From memory, this is the manual for an AE86 but most things will be the same torque spec, I use it for my AE71: http://pdftown.com/Toyota-Corolla-1983-Service-Manual.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machg Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Had more of a look at some of the trickier fabrication bits today, some panels are sooo complex, I am going to sacrifice "jesus" for some bits. Because of this, I probably won't be able to keep to a $1K budget, so back to plan 'A' - track/drift car. Would the stock 2TGEU have enough grunt for drifting, or would I be better off going down the turbo route. Or the 3T bottom end 2TG head N/A (or turbo). I have a turbo off an L20ET that just needs a couple of seals, would that be O.K. size wise on the 2TG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machg Posted September 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Got this from Toy-yoda (thanks mate) to complete the steering set-up, except I need the uni joint that links this to the rack, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machg Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Yes. its a KE70 column. I'm in Tasmania, so I will check some local wreckers tomorrow, if I have no luck I'll get one of yours. Cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machg Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Yoda found a uni joint for me (thanks once again mate) started fitting the new column. Should be able to get hold of the original dash and its loom so I swapped key barrel and switch block over to the new column. Everything fitted perfectly, gotta love Toyotas, LOL.

RollaBus_4agze Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Awesome work mate :P You are going to great lengths to save this car... Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machg Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Having to put a new gearbox in "jesus" I have experimented with engine fitment on "lazarust". I have worked out by cutting off the old mounts from the original crossmember and the mounts off the new (AE71), then bolting and welding the T series mounts onto the A series crossmember the alignment should be perfect. Will post pics when I am done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machg Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) - AE71 engine X member with mounts removed - T series mounts, notice corner hole to allow precise location - Not a quick or easy job getting to this stage Edited December 1, 2008 by machg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toy-Yoda[RL] Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Looks like you're making some solid progress there mate, keep it up. Gotta love the rust! :dance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 let me know if you get stuck with panel shapes as i may be able to help. To fix heat worpage use a Shrinking Disc , it fits on an angegrinder and heats the high spots then you quench them in cold water. even a beginner can get great results. check out the link below i have also seen them on ebay. http://www.daggertools.com/m5_view_item.html?m5:item=DT-SD2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
