fusion Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Posted April 5, 2011 Cool car.. its not the only one in the land of oz though... this one lives in Melbourne Well there you go! Has it had a repsray or something? No fender mirrors and it doesn't look like GT stripes down the side Quote
silverra23 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 I don't really know the car other than taking photos of it at a show. I think it came in as a evaluation car with Toyota or something originally so its been here all its life.. i forget what the story was. You can see the fender mirrors were taken off, there is covers on the tops of the guards, so Toyota probably did that to make it legal with the rules of the day. As for paint. No idea. Maybe he just didn't like the stripes. It also no longer has a 2tg and is 3sg powered now if i recall correctly. Quote
fusion Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Posted April 6, 2011 I think I might know the one your talking about now. I think there was something similar for sale with the 3SG package. O and while I'm at it. A few goodies will be arriving in about 2 weeks. So big update than . . . and maybe some pictures :happy: Quote
fusion Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Posted April 23, 2011 So unfortunately things have been delayed a bit in relation to parts, but no biggie. Don't have the cash or time at the moment to for the plans anyways 1) Got an AE71 crossmember, rack and steering coloum. Planning to use this for the rack and pinon conversion by welding on new engine mounts. Rather play with engine mounts than steering geometry. Thanks Luke! 2) Got new steering rack bushes, boots, rack ends, adjustable tie rod ends on the way. Along with a quaife rack (still can't get the hang of the spelling :happy: ). Before the conversion happens, the rack will be sent off the the above goodies and fully rebuilt / setup properly. Also found a great guy who is going to help with rust repairs in the boot floor, boot seal and rear lower quarter panels. I will also be getting him to do the steering conversion after Regency. Should hopefully happen in 2 weeks time. Depending if I am in Adelaide or not . . . So these plans, along with some coilovers, should see the front end completed to the specs I want it pretty much for now. Cheers Fusion Quote

Master__09 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) Offset. Learn it. It was awaiting bolt on guards but the unfortunate happened and now I'm looking for a TE71 liftback shell to swap the goodies into. Edited August 7, 2011 by Master__09 Quote
Jono.C Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) There's offset and then there's that! haha. I don't think you'll have enough metal in those guards to cover the stretch Edited August 7, 2011 by Jono.C Quote
Master__09 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 Like I said, I was going to get bolt ons. But then the unfortunate happened: Everything still works, just looking for a TE71 liftback to swap everything into. Looking very closeley at this one: http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/showthread.php/7734-TE71-levin-2500?highlight=TE71 Quote
