Ben-89 Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 How long is the 4ac going to be staying in there for ? You should consider a super clean 4age transplant one day. :) Not that I would pursue such an idea Me Jesse, but if I did such an engine change I would assure you the interior and exterior of this car would be left how it is now :) . Standard so it scare the socks off other road users, but it boogies well enough with the healthy 4ac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) A beautiful looking sleeper like this with a 4AGE, you'd just have to dress yourself in granny clothes and a shawl and cruise around scaring people. But it would be sacreligious. Beautiful car. I love mine and my mods but I am so glad people like you have a passion for keeping a car like this original. Props. Keep up the good work. Always love to see your "upgrades". Reed EDIT: Did you get those venetians from that link I put up on here?

Hey Reed, I could imagine this car with a ge betwen the struts but kept standard on the outside. But the funny thing would be me dressing up like an old veteran and popping the clutch at take off and giving the commodore boys a hard time :) Their reaction would be priceless. Thanks for the encouraging words too, and that venetian I won was from the link you put up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-89 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Okay well my venetian has finally arrived from Canberra, nicely packed but very, very dusty. After a good clean it came up as new - couldnt be happier. A little awkward installing one in a tiny e7 though. Took off the old louve and the sticky tabs and ran some petrol over the glue marks for a clean finish.. I had a look through the glove box of a st141 Corona and found this, free of charge :jamie: Photos. A little reflective.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben-89 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 yet another perfect little addition to that car ben very nice Thanks mate, and probably one last thing to add... I am deciding between the two styles to put on the ae71. The colour would be gold so it will tie in with the existing pin stripes.

Jesseb369 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 goodness me. Venitian for the win :jamie: number 1 aswel. So you said petrol gets that grime off the rear window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-89 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) goodness me. Venitian for the win :blinks: number 1 aswel. So you said petrol gets that grime off the rear window? Hey Jesse, The louvre was good but this is cool, and Paul is chasing a louvre so its win win :blinks: Its coming together nicely, like a project should. Nearing home base though which is good too. In regards to the petrol, I used it to remove the sticky tabs that were left behind after I peeled off the black clips. I'm still working out though how I'm going to remove the grime that has built up around the louvre clips you can make them out in the two pics, I can't scrape it off so I might use a metallic scourer :jamie: .... I'll do that when I feeling a bit better...... Edited August 31, 2010 by "The Mint KE70" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesseb369 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 i used an old green scourer and it took some of it off. But there only so much elbow grease one can make. i havent tried a razor blade yet though. might go alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-89 Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hey fellas been talking with dad about the conversion and he has suggested to start installing new brake shoes, rear wheel cylinders and the rubber flexi line to the rear diff assembly as its not on the car yet, so at least thats one part which is complete (apart from bleeding). In the meantime I'll buy new oils for the gearbox and diff and then its preety much doing the task of the conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
