Looks like one of the celicas I used to own.  What was the rego? 

I forget, It’s in Te Awamutu, used to see it around the place nearly every day but it hasn’t moved in about 5 years. Has an oldschool.co.nz sticker on the rear windscreen 

Worth getting the radiator cleaned out first to confirm its not partially blocked before you go pulling cylinder heads off?

/ convert it to meth

Tried turning the heater on (I’m assuming it;s hooked up?) in case there is an airlock in that loop that’s upsetting coolant flow?

I was told by the owners mate that a panel beater in Auckland repaired the original roof instead, either way, what ever the truth, I wouldn't go near that car if I had the money

Would you know if Choppers Auto body fixed it? They did the original panel+paint on it.

Someone school me, are the firewalls in LHD and RHD first gen RX7s the same? I seem to think not?

Thats still the original series chassis and diffs on leaf springs, it just has the engine and trans from a disco

I assumed they had swapped the mounts on the disco axles based on that article but maybe not?

I’m sure Himalaya had a write up on it that I read awhile ago but I can’t find it now.

Hmmm so that means I'm committed to a range rover chassis if I go down that path... with all the mechanical goodnesss

Go fo Disco as a donor, like this one (not sure if its had the chassis swapped or just the running gear)

Minor technicalities @kyteler, minor technicalities.

Wideboy Wednesday!

 

I endorse this

+1 for giving it to Autoblast and paying them to deal with it, A+ people to deal with.

I understand older versions are free until the end of the year (that's what the email I got said anyway)

/switch to Fusion360.

^^^ Damn CAT and their machine numbering system... here I am scratching my head thinking that thing's too big to be a 25Ton machine (I mean there's a dolly involved...) until I do a google search and the penny drops... why can't they label their excavators like everyone else.

the Salisbury version or whatever? does it have a 44 up front?

@johnny.race have you played with Dana 60 units? 

upgrading the Defender?

What's everyone using for their air lines/fittings and how are they finding them for longevity/leakiness?

Hard or soft lines? push to connect fittings? Swagelok fittings? duct tape?
