What have I done so far, as in up to this point or in the last week? Since I bought it: Swapped in series 2 engine (about 140,000km on it now) Swapped in S54 '97 model Camry gearbox (about 140,000km on it) Got a press bent mild steel 2 1/4" exhaust made with a 2.5" stainless tip Fitted PBR heavy duty clutch (just a single plate organic), drives very nice Fitted Genie extractors Fitted ADM series 2 ECU Fitted optional sports SX seat to rear Fitted Pioneer head unit (forgot model, 5850MP or something) and Response 6x9's to MDF parcel shelf Fitted struts from my '89 white lightning New brake pads front and rear, prob 5000km on rear now and 3000km on front plus fluid bleed I can't think of what else I've done at the moment, there is a bit more than that but most of it I did last year so I can't really remember back that far. Things I want to do before selling it: Fit factory sunroof and head lining Get AC regassed Fit the '89 struts in the rear Tighten loose bolt on the extractors When head lining is out for the sunroof I'm going to fix some rattles in the trim Swap the carpet from my '88 to it as its in better condition (which means taking the seats and centre console trim out again...) Give the interior a through clean
I ment what you have done in the last week, i can already see what you have done to it since you bought it in this thread. :lol: Is the carpet that is in it now torn at all? The stains/marks cant be that bad??? Dont worry about regassing the air con, unless you know someone, and can get it done cheap. Because i never use it, and if i want to fix down the line, that would be easier. How do you go about replacing the head lining, would that be a pain? How is it stuck to the roof in the first place, glue?
In the last week I have removed the engine and head lining from the wreck, I didn't get as much time to work on the cars as I wanted. The carpet had some pretty big oil stains on it in the drivers and passengers side foot wells, so I was going to swap in the slightly better condition '88 carpet. The factory head lining is held in by all the brackets and lights on the roof, eg door pulls, over head lights, trim mouldings etc. Once these are off it basically falls down. It doesn't need glue because it doesn't sag due to a card backing.
lol sounds like an order. Give me a week to put the front suspension back together then and I'll get it down off the stands.
good work u have done so far u got some nice cars and parts there. are your extractors the same as mine? good luck with ur future mods
bump lmao !!!! coudnt help that i seen a car like ur 162 at the top of page today was fricken nice as then i seen a 86-87 162 in the wreckers with no wheels on it
Well now that you've gone and bumped my thread, I guess I have to give an update! The parts whore is now almost completely stripped (items left: tail lights, fuel tank, doors, steering column, front and rear suspension+rear brakes). The sunroof is out, now I just need to get it fitted into my '86. Speaking of which, I haven't driven it much at all in the last 3 weeks since I pulled all the seats minus drivers seat + most of the interior to get the sunroof done. I've been riding a GSX1100F as a substitute daily, so its not all bad
