Paul Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Posted September 1, 2009 lol, update? I haven't even stripped the T-18 yet. And ethan's bigport KE got stolen, written off and we're stripping that at my joint while the carport is clear as the 4A-C (temporary motor) conversion is just finished this week. Basically I'll show you a list of where this car sits at the moment. Strip Ethan's KE70 Strip T-18 Fit above 3T into Alanna's bro's TA23 Rack and pinion conversion in cousins TA22 track car, then once proven on track do it again for the 3TGTE street car Build the 4AGTE for the pano Maybe start the Sprinter once all that's done, but by that time I'll probably want to build a shed first as I'm already sick of only having a carport, rotisserie + carport = fail I keep the sprinter running by staring it and letting it run for 10 mins every couple weekends, but other than that it's untouched.

Bowler Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Oh no. not the one that you brought into work that time? was it insured? at least they didn't burn it, but still pretty rough. You always seem to have a bit on your plate - good to see you out and about tho on the weekend. Apologies for bailing though at the end Quote
Gspec Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) Are you using all the panels from the T18? as the series 2 T18''s have a different bonnet. Also I hope you didn't pay too much for this machine... its missing 2 doors :) Also, save your money on window rubbers, uri your window in. It wont leak after some time, and it helps prevent rust. ... T-Gayteen! Ouch! Don't be pusprised when you're not invited to my next birthday party :D Edited July 16, 2010 by Gspec Quote
Paul Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) Plans are to go with the Series 2 T-18 front, with Series 1 bars (stripped, smoothed and painted gunmetal) front and rear. I have all the panels I need. Also finished piecing together the remainder of interior that I bought from you. Big thanks to Dave (TE278U) for helping me with the remaining parts, from him I bought a black dash shell along with pillar trims, kick panels, seat belts etc... Payed a "fair" price for this then it cost more to get here from Perth as I found it on carsales over there and had it sent via autotrans. Had more rust than I was expecting but everything is repairable. I'll have to talk to you about the uri I guess, I was planning to go with the rubber for originality but I'll decide that when the time comes. Still not starting this project until I build a shed.

Paul Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Posted December 10, 2010 Did a bunch of fluid checks and got this old lady going today, off for a trip to my bro's farm where it will be stored until I'm ready to put it on the road. Big thanks to Ben for following me up, taking some happy snaps and driving me home. JDM Delight, enjoy! Quote
Paul Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Posted October 16, 2011 This Sprinter is for sale. I will not have the space to start building it the way I want to for some time still so I may as well let another enthusiast take over the project. Still complete and driveable on unregistered vehicle permit. Car was previously registered in WA so I think rego will be easy without need for compliance once the rust is sorted first. Cheers, Paul.

dbr11k Posted October 16, 2011 Report Posted October 16, 2011 NOOOOOO!! .. keep it till i have money so i can buy it haha.. na but good luck with the sale mate and i hope it goes to a good home :y: Quote
Paul Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Posted December 20, 2012 Bought this TE71 GT about a year ago and just recently got it club registered. This has removed pretty much most of my desire to build up this blue AE70 Sprinter (got plans to renovate home and still need to finish building my SR20 AE71) so expect to see a for sale advert up in the classifieds some time in the new year, unless somebody PM's me and organizes a purchase of this car before it's listed for the masses on all forums / carsales / ebay etc...
