You really have made a lovely job of that open mouth Will. I really like that you have cut it back to the front edge, rather than leaving the mesh sunk in.

more knocking and clunking from the front, it must be the wishbone on the drivers side of the steering collum giving me grief, i think its a mixture of both....
wish id kept that suspension you have karl lol

thanks mark, it was originlly going to be the standard type of grill with it sunk, but i got annoyed with mnyself and cut it flat, its so brittle though it has quite a few cracks lol....
thought about my offer mark?
Yeah, sorry I should have got back to you on PM, It's something I'd like, but not something that will tempt my very limited funds away from other areas. Though if it was as cheap as an Equation T& Keyring & Sticker (or add suggestion for other tat I might be able to make for you) and an exchange boot in AJ4 I would be tempted.
I'd rather go with the matiz setup just for the sake of my son (though he does like the current setup lol)

Why have I not seen this blog before!
Very clean, super shiny.
Wheels could do with a bit less sidewall imo
the wheels were winter wheels the minilites were the proper wheels

so the work has begun at long last which a change of plan and direction, simply because i need the car as a daily with the corolla, the corolla is far too good to be hit by an idiot so the least time on the road the better.
a long time ago the engine was converted from a cg10 to a cg13, but none of the trans etc was done so i had the car revving its nuts off everywhere i went with the shorter ratio gear box.
so i found someone with everything i need to convert the transmission which is:
- gearbox
- drive shafts
- side engine mount
- rear engine mount
- north south bar
- gear linkage
so having these bits and a new clutch i set about pulling the front of the car apart, which resulted in this, i knew it was bad and needed doing to wasnt too much of a suprise, talking about the front cross member, notice its bent and the chunk missing
i know the rad is in a state but it works and ill replace it when it gives problems and it has been like that for about 3 years haha.
having the entire lot apart to fit the new gearbox within 2 and a half hours i could weep at how heavy the new flywheel is compared to the cg10 lightened one
and sadly no more poics but it is back together and ready to go, after a new cross member will update again soon
