If i ever road trip it to melbourne in the wagon i'm stopping by for photo's haha loving your work! :D Thanks Mike, for sure on the photos! Wheels are here from Japan/Otomoto. massive resto job required. here's a pic showing how they look now: HSD coilover sleeve kit arrived with 5kg springs. Madhouse lip finally turned up. and this morning i got this ;) N.O.S and no longer available from Toyota Japan or Australia. Edited January 9, 2011 by e70van Quote

Myke90 Posted December 5, 2010 Report Posted December 5, 2010 i love new parts ay man! best feeling when you get home from work and they're waiting for you to open them haha rims look like a challenge but definately worth it! Quote
e70van Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) ae824ate - cheers man. I love wagons and pvans! such a practical car to own so they deserve the love :D haha. john84ie - got the lense from a Toyota parts dealer/workshop. only the LHS. i also got a LHS tail light from them too just for a spare. Yummymicky : cheers man. Myke90 - It's awesome to come home to fresh parts lol! helps me get through the day hahaha! I have made some progress on the rims. refacing the lips and paint stripper on the centers this arvo. BTW your wagon is looking sick! so jealous your paint is done already. what are the specs on your rear wheels/tyres? they look chunky :D Edited January 9, 2011 by e70van Quote
ae824ate Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) Other thing with a pano, i can't fit 2 baby seats in it lol, our 2nd is on the way. Apart from that, yeah they are great. My old man and i used to own a white Dato 120y pano, affectionatly named "The Milkbottle". Great fun to cruise around in! Your painter given you a rough time frame yet? Cheers. I t was actually a wagon without the back seat lol :P Edited December 6, 2010 by ae824ate Quote
e70van Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Posted December 7, 2010 I was gonna to say i didn't know they made 120y vans. I'd be tempted to own one! hehe. Only need two seats in a car. (me + lady friend) Also having the van means i never have to drive my pissed mates into the city! WIN! Painter is saying before xmas but I'm not holding my breathe. :( fingers crossed though! Quote
MattyZ Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 what colour ya painting ya wheels? Quote
ae824ate Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 But you could stuff 15/20 pissed mates in the back and charge them all $10 each haha. Make a good weekend/second job :hmm: Quote
