205/55/14 toyo r888 on 14x10 

175/60/14 on 14x9

That's 225/40/14 t1r on 14x9 left and 14x8.5 right 

they have a tiny overall rolling diameter thats the same as a 165/55/14

This is the current state of the exterior. I need to track down a front windscreen and fit the rear one. Also needing the blue cressida/Chaser bonnet badge if anyone has something and would like to find late model bumpers 

There's some fettling to do on the front lights to get them to sit properly and track down the proper Chaser corner lights. 

Having a look at the rear end when test fitting some wheels yesterday. 

Being a nz model it has the solid rear end 7.1" E series diff. I've broken a few of these behind a pre vvti 2jzge so will likely upgrade to F series maybe even G series 

There's a set of ae86 xyz rear coilovers which look to have a 10.5kg spring which seems way too stiff. It's also sitting on those bump stops currently so they will need to be deleted 

Last on the list (that im aware of) was this water leak coming from the back of head. 

Most 1gge owners have issues with gasket sealing here so this was infuriating to see the gasket was in perfect condition and I was unable to remove it in one peice to transfer to the spare outlet. 

I made up a paper gasket for the spare and it's held up so far so fingers crossed. 

Additional support in the top outer corners 

I have some spare buckets that meant I could make them pretty easily without pulling front off the car 

Decided it was a good time to remedy this heinous bracket for early light swap and try get them on the new cert next week 

i didnt have any other support other than pictured so it was deemed to floppy last time 

Hey guys, looking for a central Auckland shop to split some welded 3 piece 14" wheels for me. Tried a place called 'machine part weld' in Onehunga that wanted $140+gst per wheel. 

I know about Arrow and Pine 

Bonus if they can weld the new lips on also

Fitment is exceptional 

Now I can check the water in 3 easy steps instead of 20 minutes each way.

I still can not get the heater to blow hot no matter what I do, the tap doesn't feel seized and I've tried bleeding air with a bucket sized funnel sealed on filler neck and the heater hoses at back of engine feel very hot. 

Radiator installed again with filler neck on passenger side 

Took two attempts because they missed my beveled cut on cardboard model where it meets radiator and assumed radiator sits level not on the 15 degree forward it has (V mount?)

While I feel for you handing over cash and getting excited about finally having that garnish, fuck that gave me a LOL.

 

I feel ya. I definitely lold at the quality. 

This thing has always had a bit of a water leak most likely from the shit junction on top hose where there are 4 joints in 200mm (engine-filler cap-radiator) all on a bit of an angle and just average. Took it in to my radiator guy and he said to make a cardboard model of how I would like a filler neck added to passenger side 

The existing setup meant I had to remove drivers seat and 10 or so bolts for the engine cover. Moving it to passenger side means 3 buckles and I can check/fill water. Tempted to move dipstick over there also....

Dropped it off this afternoon with my cut up glad wrap roll. Hopefully back up and running for the weekend
