RE: Banpei's new TA60 family cruiser
Still nothing done with the springs, bushes and the camberplates but that has something to do with a certain Celica AA63.
But I did make some progress on the double headlight conversion: This is only the right side assembly and unfortunately the left side has to wait a bit. And yes I know: it is definitely not the most beautiful glassfibre repair, but it will be hidden behind the grille anyway. After placing an order for the headlight adjusters (replacement part from a late 80s Land Cruiser) and springs (from an early 80s Lite Ace) at Amayama Trading Co. Ltd I found a new old stock Toyota Corona T120 headlight assembly for sale in our local classfieds. I was very lucky as it features the exact same parts as the Carina assembly so I’v scavenged the surroundings to replace the lesser ones from the Carina AA63. During fitting I ran into some unexpected issues: When removing one of the headlights I noticed the holes in the (zenki) fender do not match the one necessary for the (kouki) headlight frame. Sine I lacked the necessary tools (drill and such) I went back and tried once again. Then I ran into the issue of a bracket that was welded in place by Toyota. It is right in the way of where I should mount the headlights so I'll probably fix it by convincing the bracket it should face the other way tapping it with a small mallet. I'll also use this chance to properly wire the foglights as I did that half blind as the headlights were in the way. 1982 - TA60 Carina 4dr sedan - fun cruiser 1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project 2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver 2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain Support our forum, buy from the AEU86 shop: |
