Spent today knocking up a gearbox xmember

 

 

 

Also finished off the engine bay wiring, need to charge up my battery and then cross my fingers.

 

After i know it runs i will take some time to tidy up all the wiring and the rest of the interior.

Took the car for a drive around the block. Note to self tighten up caliper bolts before driving off. :)

 

Now its time to cleanup all the small things, get a headunit in there and chop up the grille to fit on with all the chrome bits that are missing.

 

 

 

 

The shell came with a full tank of fuel, I'm not sure if its 98 or 91 cause there was valve saver stuff in the boot. Going to baby it for half a tank and get some 98 in there to start washing it out.

 

Car feel very dosile, i don't think it likes old fuel and 10:1 comp.

please give the cooler a dust coat of paint for the sleeper look, drain that old fuel out PLEASE! can't imagine what that sr is thinking with 91 (in japan they use 106 octane)

What brakes do you have on the front to fit 14's?

The beast is back!! looks good mate.

Man this thing looks good! It would be pretty pokey too!

i considered spraying the cooler, i don't mind it showing i drive the car once a month if I'm lucky. Will see how much attention it gets.

 

With the fuel i remember seeing some octane booster at my old work, will just throw that in the tank for now.

They are out of a jdm ae86, brakes struts discs. I had to run a 5mm spacer on the front cause the rcas cause the lca ball joints to touch the rim. (sigma arms)

 

The brakes are ok but they wouldnt take kindly to any form of trackwork.

I hope one day you will be ready to do another corolla.

Cheers, Ive being following your progress aswell, makes mine look like cakewalk.

Yeh its a fun car, I'm going to take it to my old workshop get it on the hoist and go over all the nuts and bolts again before i take it a longer drive or even at speed.

 

 

Not having the car on the road for so long i forgot how nice it is just putting around in the old girl.

Thanks for the comments.
