Banpei's new TA60 family cruiser

[banpei]

Today I bought this fine mint TA60!







The car only covered 71k so far and is kept in excellent condition. The first owner apparently kept it in a garage and the second owner (who imported the car a year ago) kept it mostly under his carport and I was only able to discover one spot where rust may become an issue, so enough time to prevent that from happening.


Enough space for us and the baby.

Nice car, must be in very good condition

Whahaha cool! I know of at least one Dutch member who is going to be very jealous. You might be able to nick an entire 4A-GE driveline from him if you're lucky.

When's the panda spray paint scedualed and should I order the tofu stickers yet

She looks very good man!! When are you going to come and show it over here?

[EE80Liftback]

Nice car! Probably a better plan then making the AE86 family friendly. That Laurel (?) in the background isn't really the average car on the streets as well these days.

[banpei]

LOL!
No panda spraypaint or 4AGE driveline scheduled.

@ ash: never seen a second hand car that clean.

@ NoHachi: who? The Doctor?

@ EELiftback: that's no laurel. That's one of the three Crowns the previous owner owns.
And indeed a better plan than making the hachi a family car.

Took some pics when I got home:

Sorry bit blurry



And the engine:

Nice find man!
Great cars, and they share chassis with the Celica too!!

You NEED to show that to all of us tomorrow (sunday) at the Japanese Classic Sunday at Lunteren!!!!

//edit:

It's a 2T engine producing 75 roaring horses btw, not a 2T-B (it's single carb, a 2T-B is twin carb)

now get the twin frontlight grille on there and a nice 3T-GTEU to make a nice Carina GT-TR








Did i tell you i'm absolutely NOT jealous?

[banpei]

Too bad I have other obligations today... I would have loved to be there.

Doc: Modelcode is TA60L-AEHDSW, so you are right, it is a single carb so just a 2T and not 2T-B as I assumed.
And figure out what te rest means.

And I see where you got those pics:

And ofcourse I am already looking for the triple lights grille (in between the two lights there is another light). Saw one for sale two weeks ago, but ofcourse now it has been sold.
