Well, I got another little old Toyota..
TE72 and 3T-C goodness, thats right, a T18 if you hadn't guessed already.
Its got extractors, a SAAS steerer (unfortunately, no dish) , and two sets of mags (13x6" westerns on it, 13x6.5" spitfires which look a little more neg...).
Needs a heater core, windscreen, clutch, and front calipers could do with a bit of work...Otherwise, drives great, much better than it looks.
Plans? Roadworthy and rego for now. Maybe sidedraughts and some 8kg springs on T18 S2 struts, foulcan rears a bit later. Perhaps weld diff at that point...
Broken bastard big-end bearing dirty datsun in background.

Looks like a cool little beast.
Those chrome bumpers are quite coveted right?

T18!! yew
Well updates, lol...
I went for a roadworthy last week, failed on stiff bonnet catch, wiper blades, perished front brake hoses.
Fixed everything over the weekend, so tomorrow its off to have that stuff checked off and fingers crossed will be registered on wednesday.
So far its had a new windscreen, new rotors, new pads, new brake hoses, heater tap courtesy of JHS, but thats it, its pretty sound really and I was surprised how tidy it was underneath when it was jacked up today.
So rego awaits...and then? We shall see...I have some ideas.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (HachiRoku @ Jan 19 2008, 07:25 PM) </div>Yeah, I want to paint mine black. Actually, I want to satin black ALL my chrome, and I want a series 2 grille with the toyota badge. :lol:
you need to change the lights if you want the s2 grille
hes not as silly as he looks
Ahh ok, to be honest I hadn't looked too closely at them. Well, I don't particularly mind changing the lights if its necessary, thanks for the advice. Although it would be a shame...as the lights themselves are only 7 years old.
Its registered F#ck Yeah!
Rips a mean one legger!
And I ran into a mate who gave me a single sidedraught manifold for it in a completely random, chance meet up.
Solex-Mikuni love and a new clutch soon :lol:
