Very Hot, that orange just makes it stand out. :2thumbs:

Yesterday i fitted my ae82 flywheel and new clutch and the gearbox. Bolted the gearbox in the car and sat the engine on some ae71 mounts, they fit without the rubber mounts, here is how close they come:

 

 

my dads mate who was going to make the mount is very busy so I'm just going to make them myself. Hopefully they will be done in a couple of weeks.

Hey hey,

 

What sort of paint did you use for the valve covers and CAS. What prep work did you do.

 

Instead of painting mine i was going to polish them up at a mates place on a linishing pad.

 

But painting them seems to be a better option.

 

Des.

 

Ps: Top work mate, Your inspiration for all the lazy arse's out there, ie me

Thanks mate.

 

All i did was degrease them hit them with a wire brush bit on the drill (worked really well to get the all the crap off), primered them, and used enamel car paint.

 

Also got my hilux 4pots and corona struts today so i will be rebuilding the calipers and making some coilovers!

Any chance you could do a write up on the corona sturt with hilux 4 pot conversion? ie. whats needed, what needs to be modded etc? Also what are you running out the back? I'm kind of at a loss as to what i should do with mine :D

ummmm there a well known guide on toyods on how to do it

 

and btw its all bolt in

ok thanks, i knew about the corona struts but was told to stick with the 2 pots but use early toyota crown 5 stud hubs on them, might look into this now thanks again.
