My blue te72 run around

[egg_83]

I just brought a blue t18 for $500 with 7 months rego. Its only a two owner vehicle myself being the third.
It has no rust or any dints, crazy cracks are there in force on the bonnet but thats what the spare one is for;)
I will get pics for all next weekend.

rear guards need be flared as it scrubs alot:omg:
fronts need to be flared look at the picture

[egg_83]

Iv busted the steer column:verysad: the two parts have come apart so just going to get a entire new one

[egg_83]

So iv come to the conclusion that the 3t isn't that great and would need a bit done to it before i was happy. So 4age could be on the way;)

[08ftwyo]

How hard is 4age in one of these?

[egg_83]

How hard is 4age in one of these?

easy not hard at all. A 4a rwd bell housing, ae71/86 crossmember, new clutch line, fuel system and exhaust then bolt and wire it up. Easy.

Why do you ask? Replacing the ke with a mighty 72?
