heres one i took , hope you dont mind me posting it for ya.
Hey, Iv been a member for a while but havn't posted anything yet. So here is my first post. I've owned the car for over a year but have only started getting into things now I have my own shed.
It is 1983 ADM Sprinter that came with the trueno front, a 18R-Geu injected celica engine, the initial d sticker lol, and thats about it. I drove round my driveway twice then pulled the engine out and sold it.
I then bought a CA18det off a friend and started putting that in...
I then had a think about what I was doing and decided to do it right the first time and build what I really wanted, so..... I pulled the CA out and then got a SR while stripping the shell bare. Yeah yeah no datsun jokes please.....

Nah, i don't mind cheers mate
I did a bit of work mounting the engine up today, the sump was hitting on one of the rack bush mounts so me and my dad milled it out and welded a box section in to give clearance. I also made some engine mounts out of some longboard wheels, because they are the same durometer as race engine mounts (85A) . Now just need to find where to buy blocks of urethane so i can make the gearbox x-member.

Mounts:
those bushes look like skate board wheels lol , nice job with the aluminum welding , where abouts in tassie are ya ?havnt seen your sprinter before.
i like where this is going! should be good
Yep, there longboard wheels lol.... Live in the easternshore. Reason you havn't seen it before is the guy I bought it off got it from NSW and never got it running right so has never been rego'ed in Tas.
