trueno project

Posted: Sun Apr 13, 2008 6:37 pm Post subject: trueno project

this is my trueno,i bought it in japan and now ive got it,160k km on the clock and still in good shape,mostly deviod of rust it has a few little spots of bad paint to sort out,a little dink on the passenger side rear arch,a little bit of surface rust in the boot just showing though where the spare wheel and toolkit have been,als the knockoff trd boot spoiler isnt fitted great
luckily though it has no underbody rust or other nasties hiding,great!!

i took it for mot on friday and it failed because of a sticky caliper that turned out to be a handbrake cable hanging.
no foglight(trying my luck,dont want to ruin the back of my car)
and a number plate light out.
the worst bit is a failure for track rod ends(listed as dangerous!!),there is a lot of thread showing on them,but it drives fine and tracks ok,i suspect this is some kind of lock mod?? anyone got ideas on this??

great car, i just love it. fix it right away and get it into the streets.

a couple of black touches of paint wouldn't hurt, too whity. my oppinion only, but anyway, great car.

My personal opinion, I don't like black rims on a white car.
But hey that's a nice Trueno mate Thumbsup

mot passed today so not long till its on the road

the wed sport rims will be changed for dishu dont worry speedyrolla

the front bumper will also be changed,the car needs lowering to make it look right and the roads it will be used on are not ideal for a very low front bumper
