January 16, 201214 yr comment_577943 That daily RT40 looks great, just missing a rear blind in mat black. Very well done, just enough to turn heads. These RT40 are a very underated daily, much more comfortable than a Corolla of the same year. Report
January 16, 201214 yr Author comment_577953 Cheers, Yes the venetian blind is coming, but that after the project RT40 is running and popping tires Report

January 23, 201214 yr Author comment_579587 OK so update time. over the weekend I have mounted the fully built engine and got it running so its getting closer to drive time. Was a super tight fit only about 5mm between air cleaner and brake master cylinder. Must of done the measurements right... yussss. Also sanded and painted the front grill and polished the chrome and added a few custom skull badge. Just trying to find a set of extractors then drive shaft and alloy radiator and its rolling. Also see link below for first start up of the engine. http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/2693/file23078.mp4 Report
February 2, 201214 yr Author comment_581700 Another up date. I scored a set of extractors but due to the tight fit with the engine the extractors did not fit, so i found a standard exhaust manifold and it fits!! Hopefully have enough room to make up a decent set of dump pipes to come off the back. Also removed the right hand head light and fitted some mesh for better air flow to the carbs. Found a second horn and fitted as per standard from the factory. Also started mounting fuel pump and coil and wiring up ect. Report
February 2, 201214 yr Author comment_581711 Another quick update for my daily RT40 Just had a second whitewall stripe put on and I think it looks so much better. also added some RAT stickers to the rear 1/4 windows starting to look awesome Report
