Willacy70 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 If i do lower it i think i will go coilovers and for the extra bit of money, shockworks definitely seem to be the best option on the market. Looking at your panno, I like what i see, compliments on your work. That's pretty much the height i would go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Looks the goods, have you considered painting the lip white so it doesn't look like something is missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willacy70 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 What did you do and use to fix the rust? just using metaltech body filler (fibre reinforced) and bog. Looks the goods, have you considered painting the lip white so it doesn't look like something is missing? Not to sure what I'm going to do with the lip, mixed feelings about whether to keep it or not. Saw this out at Jafs Cruise on Saturday. Looks sweet man. Good to see another Toyota out tere haha haha, thanks man, went down to have a look, ended up driving to ttp, bit daunting with all those v8's around. spotted your car there as well and lets just say, I'm a fan in other news, i have changed the oil again just to flush the engine, still a slight metallic tinge but nothing compared to what come out of it the first time. It has a slight miss every so often so i will be replacing plugs, distributor cap and rotor soon followed by a tune. The water pump is also leaking so that will also need to be replaced soon. Tomorrow i will be getting a wheel alignment as the front wheels currently point in opposite directions and the steering wheel points hard right. Rust repair on the guards is supposedly going to happen on the weekend as well, but we shall see. Trying to get as much done as i can before uni starts and while i still have time.

Willacy70 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 been a while and a bit has happened, car is now free of rust. Was a rather simple process and should be good for a few years. all pretty self explanatory, painted in acrylic, had the paint colour matched so when its buffed should turn out ok. We to u pull it to get a few parts, got a new window winder and window and a few other bits and bobs. Have finally replaced most the serviceable items in the car, distributor car, rotor, plugs, fuel filter, etc and had it tuned. Turns out it was running extremely lean. runs nicely now. If you haven't already i suggest changing your fuel filter, it is something that i overlooked for a while. This was just some of the mess that was in the filter, wasn't doing the carby any favours. painted my mirrors and black out some stuff behind the grill, been messing with the badges and took lip off, so much better. have though about painting my headlight surrounds black but i like the chrome look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willacy70 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Haven't updated this for a while and though i would make the best of Adelaide's horrible weather. A fair few things have happened in the past 4 months. I have purchased new rear springs and shocks, 4.5 kg ajps springs and commodore wagon KYB excel g shocks which are soon to go in. took the front lip off because i was sick of it. Had a few issues with the engine. Found a chipped tooth on the cam drive gear which was the cause of all the metal in the oil, a new water pump, have had the oil light come on a few times for no real reason and currently i have a stalling problem which only happens during the cold weather. The carby is being rebuilt next week. The rear end set up a week or two after that followed by a few other things. but yeah, the joys of owning an old car and as much as it annoys me i still love it. And a picture for good measure enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
