    Picked up my flat deck and bumper from the painters today and fitted them. Now I just need some nice new timber for the deck.
    Will post pics when it's sunny and not raining.

    I didn't do the work, I took it to a shop that knew what to do and they made up a new panel to fit, it was a bit costly but it has been done properly and should last another 30+years I hope

    Sorted all the wiring for the radio and made some box's to fit some 6x9's behind the bench seat and fitted some little 4's under the dash.
    Also fitted some hella driving lights I pulled of my surf when I sold it.

    I have done nothing to the 18R that's in there other than oil changes and a manifold gaskit which needs to be done again with the manifold skimmed , it dose not smoke or use any oil or water what so ever, so there is still life left in this engine so until it dies,
    I would like to but I need to find another 3RZ engine
    I still have everything to put a 3RZ in just no time or engine at this stage and the prices people are wanting for a 3RZ engine is just ridiculous.
    Just joined up to Old School so will start doing a few cruise's meets and stuff when I take the right time off work.
