Jeffs_Emporium Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Was shopping for a diff on trademe hungover two weeks ago. Found this rego on hold rolling body advertised as a ma61 in the parts section and hit the buynow after about 2 minutes consideration and seeing the build tagFast forward two weeks, a friend and a drive to Tauranga with a car trailer and collect. We had to duct tape the front windscreen in, tie down the bonnet and use two tie-downs over hatch window which was just sitting in there. Someone has pillaged right front top hat, spring and shock hence the sunken front but left the stub axle/strut casing which is all ill need for coilovers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jeffs_Emporium Posted May 23, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2020 Upon getting it home I decided to empty all the shit out of it to see what I did/didn't have SCORE!! I also found documents from an owner before the fella i purchased from who resided in Te Kuiti so I asked the one person i know who lives in Te Kuiti if he knows the car/prior owner. Turns out it was his old flatmate and he had 'done all of the shitty rust patches himself' (I've paid someone to do a lot worse) and also remembered he had put an altezza lsd in the celica F series housing! Its been sitting outside for a year and isnt showing signs of breaking out so I'd say his flatmate did OK. I plan to get it good enough for paint, find all the broken/missing red interior pieces. Engine wise it is a factory manual 1gge shell so if a good runner comes up for sale while im doing the rest ill grab that but I won't be endeavoring to rebuild one again. Will keep my eye out for early 2jzge also. Other than that BC's, wide 14s, low. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffs_Emporium Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 Sorted out the leveling issues with another pair of front struts from @VRTDamn its high... Have a whole lot of other parts coming Friday: -Replacement front and rear half of centre console in red -red carpet set -side moldings -headlights -window trims. Need to pick a color for exterior fairly quickly, want to get it in paint and sealed up before the thick of winter as the gx takes garage priority. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
