Coldspark Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 cheers but na i got it off a guy in feilding yea the dish is a bit on the low side but the sad/gay thing is the wheels are fwd offset so there is a spacer and then 4 washers that only leaves a couple millimeter of thread left, they are only just hanging on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I hope you didn't spend a lot on it! Metal itself is solid enough to be a good base though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaf_rattle Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 since your car is already red, it would make sense to stick with a red of some sorts. GO for a nice deep blood red i reckon. Try and have it finished in time for October.. ill be down your way then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R100 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Its funny to see one on these in such unloved condition. My first car when i left school was a 1983 Celica xx GT 2.8 twincam 5 speed. Looks like yours but with wrap round front indicators. I bought it with 52000 ks on the clock and sold it with 118ks 7 years later for $1800 !! So wish i had of kept it as it was friggin mint !! Was my most favorite car ever when i was growing up. Good luck with your project. I have a 1JZ with loom and ECU, coils, ignitors, starter alt etc etc in my shed that would look great in your car $450 let me know if your interested.
