Ben-89 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Were you at pick a part kilsyth just after 3pm today? I saw a two young guys coming up the toyota section with a carby which caught my eye. Both of the e7s which were there were 1.3. Did you pull it from an ae82? How keen would you be on manual running gear? Would you be prepared to trailer away a wreck with full running gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spln12 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Hey dudes, Dunno if i want too yet, but it might be up for sale in the next week or so.. as found a 1 owner 180sx ;) Not 100% sure if i should sell the AE :( but I'm really keen on this 180.. So if your interested throw me some offers :D Cheers Brayden Edited May 10, 2012 by spln12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spln12 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hey guys, Had a good think about selling the AE to get the 180. changed my mind, i can't sell it, i like it to much ;) I took it in for a RWC on Tuesday, i have to change rear panhard rod Bushes and front sway bar link bushes :D Really happy with it now, should go back mid next week then off to VicRoads!! Bought some Fender mirrors of ebay, they should be here in a week or so.. ill put some pics up after RWC is done Cheers Brayden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam16seca Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Hi Brayden, Nice ae71 a little jealous! and at an absolute steal too! I paid way too much for mine come to think of it ($2200 registered etc), same as yours but it did come with new carpet and alot of rust free panel sections and 14inch csx style wheels from the corona. The guy had already had the front end off and repainted a few parts and fish oiled the crap out of the seals and problem areas that are prone to rust, that is a must when you get around to it! Noooooo don't do the fender mirrors! I don't think they suit the ae71's, I bought an Aunger rear louvre and brand new Aunger head light protectors for that granny spec look! (not that that's what your after) I managed to find a complete manual conversion too, from searching the for sale threads constantly. be patient because they do pop up. Thank goodness you didn't swap for the 180sx, theres enough of them around! haha Jason :thumbsup: Edited May 10, 2012 by Twincam16seca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spln12 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Its been a while since i updated, finished repairing all the dents, stripped all the bog from the quarters and cut the rust out and welded new peices in there..purchased a 4age tonight pretty much complete. 4age 16valve second gen, standard inlet manifold, standard exhaust manifold, missing alternator dizzy and a few other bits.. Theres a water port at the back of the head, is that for the thermostat? what do i need to do to suit the AE? I'm in need of a bonnet and boot, as mine are F#@ked.. End of this week should be all in hi fill, ive decided on blue. Dunno what of blue though, any ideas? ill get pics up tomoz of the engine and car as it is ATM Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
