Hey there havnt really posted up on here before but have seen alot of amazing stuff on here!
A while ago this thing came up on the side of the road and I was feeling lucky! Having never owned a RWD car with
5 speeds I was as eager as anything to get her home and take a chance. I didnt even really know that isuzu made cars!
With 250k on the clock the g200 still went strong and the gears were smooth!
Stock as rock engine bay!
I ran it around for a bit, got a manual and did a few things to get my knowledge up (first project car).
The shape still seems unusual to me but from some angles I think its right on the money!
Its obveious the paint has been done recently and I quite like the colour scheme!
Very little rust in it aswell
So I got the engine going a bit better but its been a hard life for this one, have done a couple of motorkhanas (starlets thrashed me!) in it and was even good to me for a month when I used it to get to work travelling 80k a day.
However after seeing what can be potentially done im keen to get a alot from this one!
Preped engine for removal
The engine bay on this thing is huge! If you look aboce you will see the rads atleast 400 back from bumper
Rigged up
On its way out
SO this is about as far as iv gotten. I have a 4ZE1 here with RWD sump from 4ZC1-T.
The 4z is carbed but I have had no luck getting it to fire as of yet.
The starter also has a hard time turning engine (It sat for a long time)
On my to do list is;
*Get a running 4ze1 and stick it in (Isuzu trooper, rodeo)
*Lower drastically (I hear gemini suspension and springs can do the job)
*Fill those guards up with something nicer than the tik tak
*retro sound system
Cheers for checking it out!
If you enjoy toyota goodness check my uncles 78 Corona! Very clean untouched example!
