What it is for those who DOnt know. 1985 Toyota Super Custom2.4 Deisel Turbo. Full 7 Seater, Its madness, eletric everything.......Anyway, bought it for towing and making trips over the country. SO should be mean for that.Currently has a mean boost leak, SO isnt coming on boost at all, so SIlly. Also, It was lowered all legit before I bought it. And when I was up in AUckland, picking it up, i thought I would Buy some mags too. So, picsSo, the way it looked when i bought it Bough these off trade me, and yes, I nkow all the story about them blah blah, I only paid $850, with some decent Tires, and they are fucken SSR 3 Piece, 17x8 and 17x9...! To cheap in my opion So, when the two came together....... Couldnt be more freakn suited together. Give it that Peroid look, Anyway, Plans: Fit a boost guage, Fix boost leak Maybe intercool it.

UTERUS Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Don't worry, i'll take it from here. First mod i did was to overheat it, because the waterpump died and i had no dash installed. Replaced the waterpumperer, still runs hot, but i drove it to swapmate anyway cos i'm the bauce. Got another radiator which is all mint inside, still runs hot going by the gauge i connected, i should really turn the fuel down but cbf factor has set in. Tried to fit the 18" weds from the soarer, but 9's on the front just aren't gonna happen, hits everywhere, so i'll get more tyres for my 17's and see how that looks. Other mods? um i slept in it, i can confirm it's rather comfy. I dunno, time for 20B i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Seedy Al Presents THE RESURRECTION OF AN OLD FRIEND So, what has happened?? I Aquired this back of Mr Simon aka Uterus After it ran intot hese over heating problems and sat out the back of our house for quite Some time. So its summer project on. (Sorry crown, you can go on the back burner.... again....) I a have new form of motivation, both for me and the van, more to come on that later. So first step, well, as you can see, its been sitting a while under a plum tree, near a bank not seeinging that much sun, so it got a sweeet covering of everything on it. So I blasted and cleaned it! oh and got it running again haha Looks much better too. And i think, for now, Its time to reunite these old pals for a while, they just seem so cute together. So next step, get the exhuast re built to its former 3 inch of side pipe doom glory, and see if it can get a wof, Which i cant see any reason why not, body is still mint pretty much then its onto to phase two of the Van Chur! cant wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Oh, and I notice these pics never made it in here. this from a very few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 SO checked out what was left to do on the exhuast. Pretty easy. Simon had started fitting a flange into it so he could run a straight pipe instead of the muffler Pretty easy to keep going so welded on the flanges And as for the talk of what my plans are..... Jeah, 1kzte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 So a decided to take this for a wof, but first the inside need to be re-assembled and cleaned good Cleaned everywhere else and decided to see what was in the glove box. Boom, Mouse house. thankfully mouse was dead, but I did have a bit of a face palm and a lol at the same time then I hit the local VTNZ To my suprise, failed on just the rear brakes and a head lamp brakes had a seized wheel cylinder, been that way for a while, so whacked in some new shoes and Cylinders And the hand brake Well, the driver side cable had pulled out of the drum, kinda. and had not a nice twist in it, I was like, fuck, going to get anew one from somewhere, but they are freaken rare and different to your usal YH57 or anything. After a few phone calls, it was concluded I was up shit creek and might have to get one made. thankfully, my work mate likes to mess with things, and fixed it up pretty good, good to the point that it will work again, so I'm stoked Will chuck that in tomorrow and put the drivers brakes in, and I will be away laughing to the Warrent shop Not bad for a vehicle that has been sitting for a fair while, and is 27 years old Glove Box Mouse house Warrent sheet Random pic Hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
