Sheepers' MS75 - Imma sit back and enjoy another sheepers build

[oldrx7]

I'm sure it won't be a POS for long in your capable hands.

As the tile says, I'm sure this will be an interesting build thread.

 

[sheepers]

I appreciate the sentiment my man.

[BigA]

How do you keep finding these crowns???

[VitesseEFI]

I know nothing about these…. But I take it that is not the engine it was born with?

[sheepers]

yea you're right, its the same family of engine, the mighty M series.

the M stands for mistakes. the original engine was a 4M (4 generations of compiling mistakes) 

this is a later later model 5M (fifth generation of making terrible mistakes) with a twin cam (but only 2 valve because 4 valve would be a good idea) head. 

[Yowzer]

Some say the 5M is what magic is made of

[sheepers]

and that's why we have mental institutions.

Well I’ll be following along to see how this goes. Your build threads are awesome.
Hope you don’t sell it as I really don’t need any more cars.

This would be super awesome with a rowdy as fuck 13b J Port. Just saying!

PS. Found this picture:

A friend (who has a 5m celica project) reckons they're time.less prone to head failures than the 7M-BHG. 

[yetchh]

Holy fuck.. 7 years, still feels like yesterday.. 

There was a reason I looked to you when selling it.. Good things take time.

@sheepers

If the w40 is otherwise going in the bin I'll put my name on it 

[sheepers]

What time are you picking it up?

[RUNAMUCK]

It's remarkable how not rust fucked this car is.

Especially given A, it's a 70s Toyota.

And B, the guy you bought it off lived across the street from the ocean. 

[Roman]

Nice touch having the period correct tyres

they're like crabs, they're just shedding their old exoskeleton and growing a fresh new outer casing. 

[Yowzer]

Not a fan of something "so basic and so old"

Swaps out for carburettors.

Lol

Just put triples on the 5MG you dork

[Roman]

True but then what else is he ever going to do with a 4M thats sitting around? 
Early ECUs are so punishing to deal with that I think I'd rather have a carb too.

If “660” is the Toyota paint code you’ve got, it’s commonly listed by paint suppliers as:

 

Toyota 660 / B-660 = “Verde Ingles” (English Green)

 

Common “same colour / crossover” identifiers you’ll see for it: TOYSA9055 / TOYSA9105 / TOY9105 (supplier codes), and sometimes 219 on the same listings.

 

Thanks chatGPT.
