I'd die for that car as-is, with a blue interior and an auto.. mmmm :)

[mrduke]

won't be changin it to much,just bolt on stuff. not a big fan of auto,not as much fun.

My AE71 was previously an auto and I couldnt stand it :n: , so I can understand your dissatisfaction at a 1.3 and auto :glare: Like you said it bolt on stuff so it can easily be changed. What I'm highly impressed with is the body :y: :y:

[mrduke]

yeah,the bodies really nice. only has some parking scars. i bought it off 87 year old original owner who had handed in her licence two years ago. granny cars are still out there,yay,i found one..:)

[mrduke]

[mrduke]

[mrduke]

4age is finally goin in over easter.4k stopped the other day,think it may have seized the cam. can't beleive a k motor has died. tried to kill the engine in my ke20 and couldn't. got the ae71 crossmembers and pedal box comin on monday,get in a fuel pump and so on then it's all a go. should be great fun when it's back together. if i get it up and running well i think a shakedown run down to sydney via pacific hwy is on the cards...

next up,mount gearbox/tailshaft. try and rig up a fuel system. mount up radiator. plug harness in and hopefully it will live again..

[mrduke]

still goin on the old girl. found out that the speedo cable from auto ke70 is different to whats needed(damm trimatic) only major problem so far has been findin bolts for everything over the public holiday.tanks comin out today to try and mount up the efi pump we had floatin round out of later model corolla. changin the radiator as well so have mounts to make up for that. then pretty much all it should be is sort out wiring loom,plug it in and hopefully it will be a goer.

Great progress mate. If you are needing the fuel line I went to Bunnings & they had a 3m straight piece of 8mm id pipe $11 . I was quite easy to bend & i bought a cheap pipe cutter for $8.
