There's a blacktop for sale on fb for 1000 with slight knock in bottom end

Great car raisin, look on the bright side, you didnt find any chicken wire and newspaper in there Id do what tortron said. Once its sealed underneath you may be able to reach in from the boot and get some fish oil on the inside for extra protection.

VW tree huggers^^

Thnx, I was thinking as i approached it wtf is that, I thought it was a early mazda cosmo

Where abouts is this?

Onehunga, it was by a truck repair workshop so likely getting repaired. You looking for an old mack?

This thing had a bit of a lean, it looked like the drivers side rear suspension had given up.

If a car is deregistered and has a cert for lowering/turbo engine etc,  do you need to get a new cert before revinning or after revin, or is the exsisting cert fine?

Sweet Christmas

Im sure I spotted that exact car in Henderson today parked in a different carpark.

Spotted a tidy looking datsun coupe in takanini this morning , bright red, I think it was a 180b. No photo coz i was driving.

Hi, to my knowledge TT142/TT140 would be the bolt in solution as would TA61 and TA63 as mentioned above. Corona, Celica and Carina all share the same platform in the T140 & A60 series. Not 100% sure about the SA60 bolting up to the 3T ??   Can you look at one of those online part catalogue websites to compare part numbers/diagrams?

The earier model celica and coronas TA45/ TT132 all used steering box so not bolt in.

You have a few toyota options as the corona platform is the same as the AA63, TA63, celica and carina so with the right crossmember there are a few bolt in options, 4age, 3tgte but finding one of those and completing it within your budget may be tough.  Depends how much of the work you plan to do youself and how lucky you get finding a donor engine/car.

This thread has a 3sfe from a liteace noah I was interested to see how it turned out but maybe its not happening now, threads not been updated in a while.

4sfe are not all that common, i think the dizzy sticks out the back of the head on the SX80 type, not sure if thats the case with the later model ones from say a SX90, SX100. pretty rare here.

Wait around for a good deal on something you like. +1 dope rona

Ryanfels old gx61 when it had a 1geu started running really shitty and from memory the cold start injector was flooding the engine. Another thing to check...

I suspect you will end up having to swap everything efi/electrical sensor related from your 1GEU to the new motor. Start with the easy bits, hopefully it doesnt get too involved. GL.

It looks like she hit exactly on your passenger doors!  Glad to hear you got away without major injuries. Damn scary to think how anybody sitting on the passenger side would have fared. She must have done a hell of a red light run if you were the 3rd car through the green light!!! sounds like a real muppet, I hope she loses her licence.

Sweet rona wags, like many others I learnt to drive in my dads corona wagon   TT130 model or something like that.

Gutting to see the motor die after the work fixing it up.

I wrecked a st141 wagon years ago, sold mostly all the parts off it incl rear door. no spare radiator mine was thrown away too rooted.

I cant think of too many bad times at wreckers aside from the blood etc remains sometimes seen, also returning to the car at taka's PAP with AE25 to find his ke70 broken into

One of the more memorable times was a few years back now, a wrecker in east tamaki was closing down doing a $25 all you can carry clearance sale. I had got my armful of celica parts and it was late, noone left in the yard. The staff were doing a bit of rally driving in smashed up datto 120y around the yard up and down ailes of wrecks 2 or 3 cars high hitting things for fun.. when they bent the car up too much, simply lift it up with a forkhoist and fix it with a BFH. I stayed for an hour or so riding in the back seat holding on for dear life until the poor datsun was beyond repair. Extremely dangerous shit thinking back, could easily have ended up being a bad time.

^ If only it had eagers it would be perfect

Im pretty sure I saw Big A's 69 Gloria on Remuera road today.

Nice, sorted

That looks like it could be a pain to fold up, could you go to a wrecker to find some parts with a similar profile even if they are from the front door windows, use two and weld them together to get the 1400mm length you need. Compare the thickness of the tailgate glass to the glass of a donor vehicle to quickly check if it could work?

Thanks be4ver, its only because im looking to go overseas im selling, I thought I would never sell it but realistically it barely gets used. Time to let it go.

I saw that one from the trademe thread sell for nearly 4.5k last night, stock 1GE/auto but low k's and a tidy example.

I fitted the supersharks in their blue form and took some pics of the suspension at the same time.

Took the grande badge off the grill and swapped on a dohc 6 badge from a soarer MZ10. The car will be up for sale soon
