Nice conversion mate, but your interior is not only filthy, its beyond ugly! I'm not really keen on that red vinyl/everything else look aye. Maybe recovering it as well is on the cards?

Yeah I am not so keen on the interior colour either,its the same shade as most of the older TT Supras...two of the three Supras I have owned had the same colour scheme...so its kinda like coming home... :lol:

Gota start somewhere right? :lol:

not quite sure what we are going to do with this one as yet, but below the dust its not too bad. Has been sitting in the shed where we found it for the last 6-years.

Also have another Toyota Project that you will soon see.

Ours is the Lexus 4ltr V8 and she chews gas like one of Saddams on fire refinerys...

Here's a pic of my Toyota beast

It's an '82 TE71 Corolla 2 door liftback with a 2T-B 1600cc twin carb motor. Was used as a paddock car, but I'm trying to get her back on the road. Needs interior bits like door cards, back seats, belts etc and rust work/panel and paint.

Here's my daily driver - it's an '89 Galant with 400,000kms on the clock. Although it's off the road now after an attempted theft of the car.

Is that a typo? 400,000 on the clock?? Do odometers even GO that high?

For those who cant tell what it is,

It's the new 2005 ford focus as seen on the new TV ad's lately,
and is being fitted with a 600hp or so XR6 Turbo motor recessed in and converted to RWD.

yep it's on 400,000kms now. Here's a pic of the speedo from about 8 months ago.

Haha. Yeah it's a very basic Mitsi, on the original 1755cc SOHC 8 valve carby motor. A dealership clocked up 200,000kms in the first 2 years of its life.

Although I've seen a whole heap of other Galants the same shape as mine, with well over 300,000kms on them. They all seemed to be NZ-new ones though..

My dad's car is close to clocking up 500,000kms and its only a 1994

lmao

By the look of where those digits are lying I wouldnt be surprised if it had done a lot more than 400,000....but I am guessing that it must be an NZ new machine...so who knows..??

Good example of Mitsubish longevity either way... :lol:

enough of the mitsi talk!

this is cooler
