Hey mate, yea sourced a head rebuild kit from a fellow member.

Cheers for the link and I'll keep it in mind if anything goes wrong! Haha

Haha makita one ways!

Looking to do a nice job on this one so need to research what fits etc (bugger all info out there!). The ma55 is the bastard Frankenstein they tried ideas on.

My minis slammed on bumb stops, horrible for the roads but sticks like glue though!

They're not the most slick cars, but I think would look cool boned out on some period correct wheels. Some person would buy it if it's done nicely. Personally they look like an old rover lol!

Nice! Out of curiosity what did it sell for and in what condition? As I've never seen/come across them before.

Also what springs did you use to lower it?

Bugger all information on them around, model I have is ma55 (one with irs).

Have sorted the m-eu kit so I'm all sorted (this time). Cheers for the help everyone.

That black and silver two tone looks very slick.

What car is that thegreatestben? Engine bay looks identical to mine. Ma45?

nice one.

It's amazing the odds and ends people collect over the years. I've got tonnes of fiat and mini parts hahaha.

I'll pm you mate. Legend.

Cheers for that! I have found 2m gaskets on eBay for old crowns I think it was.

No I havnt tried segedins. Will give them a try today.

And yes that is the rusty old girl!

Hey everyone. Picked up a Toyota Celica xx project, to our annoyance we found out the gasket was blown. From what suppliers are saying they do not make any gaskets or rebuild kits for these engines anymore. Hoping to find a Toyota nut that could clarify a few things.

It is running the m-eu 2l i6 engine, I've seen one online thread saying that the 2m 2.3l head gaskets fit the m-eu engine. Could anyone clarify this or steer us in the right direction for a head gasket? If not will look at getting one custom made. Cheers
