77magnum13hundy Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 not many of these about that are in rust free condition, i think there was one out at horopito with big holes in it. Nice car, you gun paint it soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonpimp Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 A rust free toyota? , um i would love to paint ,it but by the looks of things i have a head gasket to change first :l and ive never done one before so might take awhile , also money thug life etc need to get a better paying job :l But when i do paint it i might just go with the stock colour but leave it flat for awhile as gloss is the $$ bit :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustywhip Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Mean. Shame about the head gasket but congrats on the WOF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonpimp Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 well the head gasket isnt so bad it will be easy being push rod Also i have never done one and need to learn as it will probs be something to happen in other cars down the line! Also i think i found a gasket set for cheap so wont even cost much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonpimp Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 So not a head gasket as the compression is healthy , but still not sure why its not firing on one , the plugs good the leads good the cap and rotor are good its in time , i'm still to find anything wrong :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
