Go into shed door... (tick)

 

Lol sorry mate, but has to be said.

haha damn you ya beat me to it.

 

yeah so the wagon has no brakes and where i needed it by the shed it has to go downhill so, me and dad used his commy as the brakes, so here i am sittin in it slowly rollin down then all of a sudden goin pretty quick thought uh oh and the tow rope had snapped piece of crap and so i just held on and bam into the door the only thing i was worried about was my celica on the other side hahaha.

 

 

 

on a more positive note, all the manual gear is out of the wagon, need to get the flywheel machined, might get it lightened at the same time, and needs a new clutch, might look at a heavy duty any brands people can suggest, for a K40 too

Ordered my Heavy Duty clutch and a clutch cable for the rolla,

now is all thats needed is remove the bastard flywheel things are on tight!, get it machined and possibly lightened.

then strip the sedan and install all the manual gear then its good to go!

So i havent touched this much lately either, still finishing off the engine bay just gotta finish of replacing the section where the battery tray used to live once thats done i can basically prime the engine bay and thats good to roll.

 

looking at puttin a S15 Dash in only if i get a half cut and go SR20 or i can get one for dirt cheap as my whole dash pad needs replacing anyway.

 

I'm looking for a padded slim back race seat for the front two so i can give the people who are daring enough to squeeze in the back some more room so if anyone knows of a reclinable bucket that has a slim back but isnt hard as concrete please do tell.

 

i will be running bolt on flares coz wellll they look sick on celicas and if it aint VOODOO Blue or Chomre it will be black simple colours aiming to get underneath and suspension done at least by christmas/mid jan
