seriously thinking about reco' the 7AFE and dropping it in...not sure if keen on the whole new engine loom/ecu etc..

 

will try to get a conclusive answer on the matter, because i get the feeling i have to do a whole new conversion if i go down that path...that would be the case if i went 7AGE 20v...

Another AE sedan!! Liking what you've done with this so far. Looks heaps better with all the black bits on, needed something to break up the white!!! Why not just put the silver top in??? Silver tops are sick ;)

thats the plan :)

 

the silvertop is gna go in...then ima take all the time i need to build that 7A bottom end

 

while working out brake options on the side :P

Updates added, New Lip + tail light extensions... :)

Car looks a treat champ!

 

Love where you are heading with it, this will get up and boogy with the new motor

The tail light extension and front lip look the business :y: Which car did the lip previously come from?

 

Do you know you can get front bar clear indicators off ebay for a series 2, I recently bought some from ebay in Sydney

and I'm very impressed, they would tie in with your rear tail lights I think. You can even get "crystal" lensed fender repeaters

or alternatively, vy commodore repeaters can be adapted also which I have chosen for less bling factor.

 

Keep the updates coming!

^^ thanks Ben!

 

The Lip is from the old Mazda 626..they fit the corolla bumper nicely.

 

good idea with the indicators, in due time of course :)

 

I'm really hoping my next update is my engine conversion,

 

gna have to organise some leave from work but with a couple more weeks of uni, I'm gna have to wait it out..

car is currently under carport...at present..i only unplugged battery and some engine wires in the engine bay

 

and have the driver side drive-shaft out..will spend most arvos arter work on this until engine is out...hopefully by next weekend.

 

on another note..this was too cool not to share! :)

 

Haha that is a cool photo, all triplets in the front and the shy one down the back :thumbsup:

 

Really though, what are the odds of that ever happening again!?

Such an awesome picture!

 

Good luck with the engine conversion mate, sure you are keen to get it sorted and driving again!

^^thanks fellas :)

 

made good progress this arvo, 4AFE is ready to be pulled out...but since i didnt disconnect gearbox as I'm trying to get both out in one go...its gna be painful....LOL

 

definitely can't wait to have that silvertop in there and driving it again!
