The corolla series get heaps in Jap.

Still we shouldnt have to ship our cars away.

So england has cheap parts but not many mint shells. Interesting.

When i do sell im sure im going to be the one interviewing the buyer of my car to make sure he will look after it. lol

Yea they will try and fix anything over there. Awesome restorations with amazing amounts of work. Always replacing winds and floor pans etc.

I knew a fella who chucked a mini shell, good condition i think, and this chap was horrified! Gotta love that salt.

ahhh...I sound probably stop smapping your thread :lol:

Exhaust is going before car comes to Welly. Had the car so long and didnt know what i was thinking putting it on. I just dont know what to put on tho. Im thinking a dumpy but would want a smaller one. Ideas? Pics?

Hardly anyone sees the interior aight. Its overrated.

yeah its 2.25 exhaust systme so thatd be easy. Im thinking just a black dump pipe. But will see.

I hate mk1s with no bumpers. Will probably put the original one peice back on untill i find proper quarters or put the cooler in.

Cap needed machining slighly to sit in the recess the escorts have. Holes drilled for the allen keys to go through and thats bout it. While tank was out I got the fuel out made bigger for when the Ca or Sr goes in.

are they "home-made" adjustables?, if so did you do them yourself/how etc

Yeap. got two sets. One I brought from burton and the other (that set) home made.

Just get some threaded tube the right size to go over your shocks. Cut off bottom cup. Weld sleeve on. Get a bottom cup turned up with a thread to suit the sleave. Prob should run another bottom type thing to lock the cup. Um thats bout it aye. Need to prob machine ya shocks to suit where ya want it also.

On those ones the escorts have weak bottom axle things and they arnt replacable. The sleve goes right down to the bottom and is welded over the weak part to strengthen it FTW.
