I'll pay that last quote

cleaned the glass, pulled out the seats, vacuumed her out, gave the plugs and points a clean and set gaps.

looked into fixing the blow out in the exhaust. its too thin to work with, so i have an old 2" sports system from my pano here, gonna see if i can make that fit.

also after picking PMP16's brain for an hour on the phone tonite(thx mate <3 ), hope to have extractors, disc brake front, and some sort of wheels sorted soonish

thinking of this sort of look for the wheels

i now regret selling my sexy 5k last week......

so now, I'm looking for another one..... :-/

i am seriously gonna stick with the toyoglide, partnered with a 5k's torque, it shouldnt be too much of a pig around town here..

i may put a mild cam(read: real mild), upping the stall converter by 500 revs or so, which used to be cheap when i last played with autos(i am sure I'm in for a shock there, now lol), bit of match porting, standard valves, etc

just get her breathing a bit better, while maintaining that stock look and day to day driveability

took pics of the spare gold badges, brand new full rubber set(sealed in factory bags still) and the spare tail lights and other bits that came with the car.

impossible to upload atm, with this silly internet

also, great to meet you Tenny, and Larry today...!

let me know how it all goes

The old toyoglide i had in my old '30 was pretty cool. Use to have fun in manually shifting the gears, downshifting was the best part with rev matching.

 

But if i was to go for another k motor it'd be backed with a trimatic

i know it'll take away the originality but day to day driving will be better.

cool mate. i might look into that, for interest's sake.

might be a viable option.
