Guest kiwi808 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Cool build thread mate and I love that your saving an old 'rona and I highly approve of youe engine choice. I love rotary toyotas. And I love 12a's And here at 'oldschool we don't post in build threads so they don't get spammed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kiwi808 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Also are you going to build a sleeper or go for a full panel and paint? This would be pretty awesome running widened steel wheels (with the hubcaps and whitewalls) and faded paint but sporting the 12a! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Corona_man Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I was looking at restoring it original but I want a mint cruiser and mabey a few shows. I think I'm going to go full panel and paint. I'm thinking gloss black and lowered on some mint mangel modgies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 77magnum13hundy Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 those mounts look good but you are going to run a big washer on where the bolt sits right? just checking... will be mint runner with a tidy up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Corona_man Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Yeh, I'll put a washer on the bolt side and the nut side. Someone else on here had the same mounts but had problems with the cert guy,saying they were solid mounted because the bolt goes right through them.

Guest Fliboi Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 i think you cant cert them with a bolt right thought, ask b4aver also dont put modgies on it these cars deserve something proper. trawl yahoo japan auctions for some cool 13/14" rims and if you dont get crazy with the width, they wont set you back more than 500/600 bucks to your door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yoeddynz Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Another cool build. Quite narrow in that bay. Do you have much room left for exhaust? Please please please don't put wheels bigger than 13-14" on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Corona_man Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Haha na I'm not going to put ugly 17" wheels on like a lot of people do. Yeh Iv had to make a few mods the the headers coming off the b.ock. Very very tight down near the exhaust, because the steering box and bell housing are close together. Iv had to make a sharp bend coming off the block, hopefully it won't chock the motor to much. It's good to have people commenting on my build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mccrazy13 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 What's up dude love your build!! I've done same conversion on 69 RT40 but 13B. RT80 and 40 run pretty much the same set up check out my thread it might help you out with your build. I'll be watching your build, always interesting to how other people tackle similar conversions. I have loads of photos from my build also if you wana see anything more from my build let me know and I'll post them up. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
