Well i got the car on sunday and took pics of it right away. dirty and with the spare wheels on it. it runs great. has a swapped in 18rc which was rebuilt, a swapped in 5 speed tranny from a 77 toyota pick up new clutch new flywheel new wilwood master brake cylinder, refurbished gas tank from a 1st gen celica and celica seats. sorry about the pics i forgot to change the settings i though i had it on auto haha












now after 2 days i've pollished up all the chrome, which was in surprisingly good condition. i've polished up the centerline wheels that also came with the car the rears are 15x9 -30. i've put in my quick release hub and wood grain steering wheel, the Mark II seat covers i for the cressida work on these seats as well as the flares i have for it so it'll cover up the bondo job on the rear fenders that never got finished by the previous owner. i'll also be pulling interior parts off my totaled lexus ls400 and putting em in. also the inner driver side head light will be removed and i'll be running the lines for the oil cooler, through it hopefully i can get it mounted soon. heres a few more pics i took today after some more work

rear seat covers

got my sun visors grab handles and rear view mirror form my ls400



the flares and wheels

can i haz lip? haha


the lovely chrome

so far this car has parts from a 77 corona (the 18rc motor) 77 toyota pick up (5 speed tranny) 85 corolla (front seats) 71 celica (rear seats) and gx7 cressy (seat covers and flares) 95 ls400 (interior parts) and a mx7 (oil cooler once its on) it's a bunch of cars rolled into one haha
if anyone knows where to get parts i'd love them lol. i really need weather stripping, a driver side front fender, a headliner and a lock for the trunk. thanks guys and i'll keep adding pics as i get more done to the car

pics aren't showing up! problem with photobucket?

they are showing up for me. im not sure what could be wrong

photobucket sucks is what's wrong

love the car man!

i did a nice little DIY on the weather stripping yesterday sure beats the crumbling 40 yr old stuff haha i'll have pics and how i did it up later today or maybe tmrw if i get busy

ok back in town again and got to work on the car again the last couple days. did a bunch of tucking in the engine bay. still gotta hide and shorten some of the hoses and lines but here what i have so far. oil cooler will be on tmrw





oh yea and i obviously need a battery box or better tie down lol

headlight out and oil cooler on. i need to get to a hardware store and get some new lines

nice ride! more pics with centerlines on

Definatly one of my favorite yota models.
Your hooked up now.

thanks guys! the centerlines will be on once i can find a darn lug key. i'll be gettin bigger lowering blocks and possibly air shocks for the front tmrw

man do i fail at updating my threads haha heres where im at so far

That stance is sick! how did you lower the front?

not quite sure haha the front was already like that when i bought the car i just added bigger lowering blocks in the rear to kinda even it out. im gonna assume the springs were cut. i'll prob cut a bit more off

Can you tell me the wheel size, offset, and tire size of the front wheels/tires?

the front is 15x8 +/-0 with a 165/50 tire (i'll get lower offset after the flares go on) and the rears are 15x9 -30 with a 175/55

Thanks.

this thing is so sick
