Well today i did some work on it!!!!!
I'm salvaging everything out of the mr2 and sticking it in my 71.
Made a remote boot release, its in the back tho as the cable wasnt long enough to go anywhere else so yair its in the back.
Stripped the rear seats out.
The motors in the engine bay but not fitter cos its a git and loves my curses. 3 weeks of hammering and swearing havent got it in yet so I'm still working on it.
Next I'm going to clean up this dog hair and strip the tar/sound deadner stuff .... but the weathers in the way.
Later
Well yes it might be every time you make plans for your future it all goes pear shaped!
But HEy, who cares, you a a 1ggte powered 'rolla so what use is a future?
Ohhhhhhh
I remember the days when we had a 5 bay/3 roller shed.
This was a serious peice of property, but then again we lived on 5 acres back then and had a school of dirt bike....... *remembers the days*
And yes its was something like 20x4...
How could we forget the sound of a supercharger winding up?
Probably one of the more dertermining points of a car gender, they go flat chat straight of the bat.

Everyone do us a favor and piss of the policitians.
I hope they see the need the stupid f@$ks, but anyway......
Go forth and show them the light!
How bout we toss this topic around at the camping meet!
It would be good to debat the ups and downs off all the places where we can (legally) drive fast.
Does anyone know if there are any tracks/courses in northern NSW? We could do an overnighter down there lol, and maybe lose some points! (Stupid p plate laws)
Haha, dude you make your car sound like a part of a sorry flok of cattle!
Sounds like maxi needs some tender loving care!
And i'll be damn if u don't give him what he deserves.......
