dude thats awesome !! love it haha the good ol toyota motor ay :) reminds me of my mate back home turned up to my house one day in his KP60 starlet and quickly realised he had been driving with no oil for ages haha so we grabed the drain tray from down the side of shed that had old used oil with leaves and water all up in it and poured it in as a "just to get me home" fix .... a year later still going strong :) untill we decided to take it 4wheel driving and sunk it haha oops :)

ok heres a pic of the motor ....obviously thermostat & gaskets are on the list haha :S so apart from a HG issue is there anything else witht the crowns i should take into consideration ? thanks for all the help too guys

ok sweet so its pretty much going to have a blown HG. spoke to the dude and he gave me a 5M----- engine number ? are we still all in the same ball park here ?

hey guys ive been offered a 1982 toyota crown REAL cheap through a mate.... its been over heating ( hoping not a head gasket :S ) i don't know much about these crownys.... been told its a 3L petrol motor.... but what motor is it ??? and does anyone know weather this over heating was or is a common issue ?? just trying to figure out prices etc to make sure I'm not getting into a endless money pit :) been there to many times lol

well currently i havent pulled the old one out and the new panel is still wraped in plastic. i decided not to start anything untill i had figured out who where and how it was goin to be done cos i know when ive gone to help mates in the past with projects and its half done already half time it made it more difficult...i wouldve personally liked to have done the section start to finish ..... but I'm easy i just need/want it done !!

yea or could possibly bring car to you depending on distance. in Ormond 3204 just off north road a kilometre or so in from brighton.........

hay guys.....so my ke20's lower rad support panel is rusted out completly, ive got a brand spanka from phils rotarys but I'm having trouble finding someone that want to lend me a welder.....but to be honest i don't really have enough faith in my welding skills to do it nicely :( so I'm wondering if any of you guys would like a cashy to help a brutha out or can recommend and friend etc etc that can do it on the el'cheapo for me :D cheers

yea sweet no hurry mate :D

success !! I tried the soldering iron but it didnt fix the issue so I ran the extension tails and now my indicators are working :D Thanks for your advise guys

yea I'm keen to get in on the group buy happy to wait a lil while if it means we get more people keen on it to lower the price some more :P let me know how we looking

Nah there's no globes out I've checked them all and checked for corosion etc pretty much I've elimiated every possible fault bar the flasher unit itself so I'll have a play with you guys suggestions and hopfully fix the issue. Thanks guys I'll let you know how I get on

Cool thanks alot for the tip I'll take it to work in morning and give it a go. Shame it's so expensive and ex japan considering I paid $10 for the aftermarket one haha. Thanks again mate much appreciated

hay guys pretty sure my flasher unit is buggered left indicator works fine but when i flick it to right it stays on constant, ive pulled the stalk apart and thats all fine. i got a replacement from repco but the pins are out it dosnt plug in....... been to 2 other shops and noone has a unit where the 2 pins match up and obviously the listing repco has is wrong ??? any1 else had this problem finding 1 ? am i best just to grab a 2nd hand 1 and be done with it ? cheers guys

cool thanks for your help guys. Those sleeves don't look to shabby at all I'm definitly looking into gettin myself a set very shortly

hay all, spent some time searching the forums but can't find what I'm looking for. looked on the websites etc etc and only listings i have found from KING and Pedders is "lows" which from my experiance lower the car about 1mm :blinks: I'm all sorted in the rear found what I'm looking for there but not having much luck in the front ? I'm leaning towards the angle grinder with some extra rubbers packed in there to keep it captive but would much prefer to do it the "proper " way cheers guys

awesome dude !! thats a mean 20 !!

Name: Sam Car: 1973 KE20 Motor & Driveline: factory 3k with 4spd Suspension & Brakes: Standard Wheels & Tyres: factory steelies with white walls Interior: Standard ( excellent condition ) Body: Afew wee imperfections here and there but overall pretty sweet Other: 64k on the clock. 2 previous owners. nearly ready to be rego'd and on the streets :jamie: then afew slight modifications like exhaust and extractors etc etc then work on the body so its immaculate ( respray in original colour )

afew answers - Can you afford it haha :P - depends if you plan on doing the work yourself or sending it to a shop so that ones really up to you to decide whats easier....just depends how bad the rust is? - look around windscreen, bottom of doors and on the 'A' pillars but if it was me id just check EVERYTHING not just the normal problem areas you want to make sure you know what you getting....no one likes those nasty suprises :sob: - Yea that one looks pretty straight but pretty hard to tell from just one picture...looks to be some rust around the windscreen....I not long off the boat from NZ so not going to say what id pay for it cos they not same price as back home....plus id be buying a twin headlight one :jamie: good luck finding your rolla matey....let us know how you get on

cool thanks for the advice mate appreciate it
