TC16 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Hey guys picked up this car a few months ago for my brother now I wish I kept it because its fun to drive and when you can't find a parking spot you can just put it in your back pocket and walk around seems to have near new interior, Air Con works well, cd player, handles like a mini, 3au motor is gutless but I'm sure it can be tweaked. unfortunately its an auto the bastard is drawing power when its turned off and kills the battery overnight and the speedo doesnt work but other than that its great... I still want to put my 4age in it one day but I don't know if thats possible, it was covered in betty boop stickers when we bought it theres no rust, I'm so sick of finding rust on cars but none here Edited March 31, 2009 by TC16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look afer it and it will look after you :wink: nice I'm glad its turned out to be a good buy, I can get within an inch of the gutter without touching it. It has p/s so it pretty much spins on the spot lol I nearly made him buy a VK Holden just because I miss my old one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7shades Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well, the VK would have been worth more, but only by weight as scrap metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC16 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) I need an alternator for this if anyone can help pm me please Edited May 14, 2009 by TC16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johno Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Just a question.. Does the motor sit North? or is it East/West like ae82? I think i seen one of those before, only 20 were imported in Aus by the name of Ralf Foronza unless i'm mistaken by something else :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7shades Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Poke around the wreckers and keep your eyes out for an AL25 Tercel wagon (the ugly as sin 4wd ones, same front panels as yours) or an AE80 with the 3AU. Should be the same. Just a question.. Does the motor sit North? or is it East/West like ae82? I think i seen one of those before, only 20 were imported in Aus by the name of Ralf Foronza unless i'm mistaken by something else :y: Yeah they're a NS but FWD Johno... same as the AL25. Very odd arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC16 Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) yes it sits north, I havent had any luck finding an alternator that works yet so we dropped the old one out of this to an auto elec I wish we didnt buy this car!

7shades Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) aaaw... if the only problem you're having with it as the dodgy alternator, you're doing well :D Shit I just fixed the aircon on a '98 Magna today (not mine, dear lord no not mine) and it cost $600, you're laughing :fuzz: Edited May 22, 2009 by 7shades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
