Couldn't see a member's car forum so i'll put this in here for now.

Purchased this, not too unfamiliar, Mk1 yesterday. Will be picking it up next week.




It was 5 miles away and the engine's on it's way out. So we had to go for it.

Got some work to do on the Mk1V6 1st and that's probably gonna end up for sale soon but as soon as am sorted with that i'll be doing the following :

1MZ V6 all alloy engine with some headwork and a rebuild with full detail.
Mk2 N/A gearbox with Celica ST182 Final Drive and Mk3 LSD.
Fidanza flywheel.
Hybrid cltuch.
Apexi Induction kit.
16" Azevs and sticky tyres.
Slightly lower springs.
Fezza 355 exhaust if i can find one cheap enough.
And a spoiler of sorts.

Then it's a toss up between either a low blow SC setup that Paul's bringing out soon or some throttle bodies. That'll be stage 2 though.

Will document the full thing on here and TwoBrutal but seeing as we've just completed 3 of the same swaps it should fly in as long as i've got time to work on it.   s:D s:D

Looks good mate, I like the wheels.

[OlberJ]

A mk1 bodykit?  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

[OlberJ]

Yes, it's the only way i could improve on the Mk3's looks   s:mrgreen: :mrgreen: s:mrgreen:

[Ilogik]

Your turning it into a door stop! Ohh dear :p

As for the wheels I like, are the azev A's? or something like that, remind me of wheels I nearly bought for my vdub, and if im guessing rightly, you probably bought them from styledynamix  s:P s:P

edit I may be wrong but they do look sim :p

[OlberJ]

Nope they're ultra rare Style Auto Stigmas.

Azev A's with a bit more lip basically.

Got it back to the shop and gave it a wash. Pretty chuffed with it.








Think i'll do a little lowering and leave it at that style-wise till the conversion is done.



Roll on a fortnight on Monday and i can get stuck in to it.

[enid_b]

ears!!!

[davidarden]

Looking forward to seeing the progress!

Couldn't see a member's car forum so i'll put this in here for now.

On a side note, how come we don't have a members car forum? Seem to get threads randomly placed around the forums, and I'd love to have a nosey at some more members cars!   s:) s:)

[Kool PT]

[OlberJ]

Finally getting to go down and pick the car up 2moro.

Got my unit sorted too so the conversion will begin in ernest from next week.   s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:  

Still have to buy a gearbox, an exhaust, a flywheel, a clutch kit, an engine, some gear cables and selector, some lowering springs, some tyres, some paint, a spoiler...the list goes on!

[OlberJ]

Been spending all my time getting the unit sorted but it's nearly there.

The strippage of BBJ has begun...



And the TTE springs arrived. Tempted to fit them before i do the rest of the conversion just to see how it looks   s:mrgreen: :mrgreen: s:mrgreen:

[OlberJ]

Got half an hour on it tonight, rear is now removed and stored safely in the overhead compartment.



Few things in the pipeline for this one, trick gearbox, trick exhaust and depending on how things pan out in the next fortnight, a trick sounding engine.   s:D s:D  

Anybody after a 62K exhaust backbox? Going cheap. (Think there may be a budgie stuck in it)

[Kool PT]

Are you doing this work in Durham?

[OlberJ]

No, i've moved back home now chief.

My place is in Hamilton.

[OlberJ]

Woohoo, just bought meself a cracker of a 1MZ.  s:) s:)

Getting the Mk2 box built up with these bits, can you tell what they is?



Better go buy a flywheel too! Chromoly jobbie from the states methinks.
