how the car looks just now











Dash removed so i could sort it, full of cracks and chunks missing, so going to give it a fibreglass skin and felt it with black felt

i also wanted the clocks out so i could find out why i have no dash lights

to so this i had to remove all of the lower dash panels
and part of my rollcage

took out front seats for ease of access

front bumper is off to finishe getting it meshed

also took it off so i could relocate the oilcooler

this was so i could see where i am going to fit my twin electric fans, junked the belt driven viscous fan in favour of these to regain lost power


#alloys are also being repainted probably in a dark grey colour
like these


future plans

well all of this is underway
new TRD 2 way LSD with a 4.1 crown wheel and pinion
Polyutherane full bushing kit
Front and Rear Control Arm bushings, Front Strut Rod bushings, Rear Track Arm bushings, Front and Rear Sway Bar bushings, Front and Rear End Links


should be fun
paint the alloys
strip interior and sort dash
fit new harnesses
fitting twin electric fans in place of belt driven viscous

along with hopefully paz's old front end attached to my car



Well another box from the states arrived today

My prothane bushing kit
and fuck me I did not realisethere wer e so many bushes on my car
rear sway bar
FRT strut rod kit
rr track arm kit
front c-arm kit
rear control arm kit
rear end link
sway bar bush
end link set
sway bar bushx2

the rear control arm set has 16 bushes in it alone this could be a challenge doing on the drive








now all i have to do is figure out where everything goes

will i have to re use some of the emtal inserts tha are already on the car?


couple of other parts ordered
water temp and volt gauge. to go woth my oil temp and pressure ones


when the diff broke i decided to take the car off the road for a few months and do other work to the car while it was knackered

i am stuck driving a peugeot 406 TD just now lol its so slow and boring but gets me from AtoB




OK new parts ordered
Blitz Front Brake pads
TRD Engine Mounts
Cusco GearBox mounts

Paz's old front end


Started to fit the protane bushing kit today, going well, apart from my dad setting himself on fire he forgot the low toarch was on and stood over ot then proceded to go on fire
