I was already missing the soft G in that vid.

I've moved to a bigger shed now (yay ) from 20m2 to 45m2, lot's more space and a quieter area (so i can make more noise, i was in the middle of a block of houses before ).

Yesterday i removed the complete rear axle, which went surprisingly well, i got it off pretty fast.



now painting the engine mounts and springs:




repaint the stuff, put in polybushes, swap LSD into another housing, with better gear ratio and refit the other way around!

Hi, I'm a Norwegian old school Toyota enthusiast! I own several classics myself, and I love them

With Norway being the suckiest country to own cars in in the whole world and the TE27 Corolla never was imported here, I figure I'd have to build one from a KE20.

I'm looking for a TE27 instrument cluster (Speedo, Combination Meter Fuel/Temp) and tachometer) ! I assume this is extremely hard to dig up? Anyone knows of anything? Found nothing in Australia...

Sincere greetings from the cold northlands!

[The Doctor]

you need the cluster from a US TE27 SR, RHD clusters won't fit your dash.
And then you can swap in your own speedo to make it Km/h (needs some cutting on the plate).

[The Doctor]

woohoooo 2T-G = done!

engine is almost new (only pistons where re-used, because they where within limit and nowhere to be found new )







new timing chains, tensioners, slippers, bearings, gaskets etc. etc.

I'm gonna paint the camcover, but it needs to warm op to let the wrinkle finish paint 'work' its magic


I can feel the love between the 2 allready, let's hope for a good marriage

Nice work!
When are you going to do a second one for the Carina? >

[The Doctor]

i still have 2 other engines of which i can build one

give me a yes, and a shedload of money

moneywise, it's cheaper to go to 4A-GE i think, you have to be a complete nutter to want a 2T-G in

[banpei]

So you fall into that last class I guess.
I'm still not sure what to do with the Carina...
