yeah, original service book in the glovebox from 11/74 when it was purchased new from launny toyota

stamps from the dealer were kept up for the first few years

also pulled out all the carpets to clean underneath the other day and found receipts from the supermarket from 1988 and stuff

real retro stylez...

hahaha. I bet you wish it was a receipt from 1974 though! This car is a beast in real life, sounds mean too. I think black mesh (matt finish) would go nicely on the front but that's my two cents looks tuff anyway.

 

Matt.

Have seen this flying down Exhibition Street in the CBD. Could hear it from inside on the 2nd level of my work!

 

Where do you live?

Hey, Squall...

 

I really like the twin headlight setup you have going. I have a KE36 myself and would consider doing this modification. Just a few questions about it...

 

1. Did you have to modify/fabricate any type of mounts for them?

2. Are there any surrounds for them as it looks a little dodgy as you can see "through" them?

3. Are there any grilles that fit this modification (that you've found)?

 

Car looks really great BTW! I love the stance :jamie:

Haven't seen sept squall post in a while, last I heard from him he didn't have an interwebz connection at home... hopefully he will answer some of your questions, the purple beast has plenty of potential!
