Long ****d time no update!

The shell sits at my folks place with covers on it currently 300KM's from my place... looking to get it down here ASAP as ive just removed the motor from an SX i bought for parts and to my delight has been rebuilt with oversize pistons and a few other goodies.

Now i could talk loads of ***** or just place pics up and get the ball rolling again so here we are!

The shell currently sits like this:

And i removed the motor from this:

And today started placing some new bits on , got the alternator and some new plugs in:

More to come very shortly as ive got loads of bits to fit on...

Oh Pink SX/TC babies

[eviltwin]

Mega babies!!

[eviltwin]

I'd just like to throw a mega thank you out to BWAY for coming around in his own time and assisting me with a few things and helping to remove the crank pulley bolt so i could change my timing belt. Legendary work mate and it was that tight we ended up borrowing a big **** off rattle gun from a tyre place to remove him! Also a shout out to Chris ( Moses08 ) for coming over and helping do the water pump and in general just giving me a second set of eyes and hands ;).

New timing belt is now on and setup ( thanks to Mickwheelz for the pointers with setting timing etc ) Stoked Ive learnt a few new skills this week!

Are you sure that engine's been rebuilt? Looking at the pic with the cam cover off, that's what they usually look like when serviced very little... I'd be pulling the sump off and trying to clean as much of the crud out of the head as a bare minimum.

[eviltwin]

Really? there isn't any build up in the head what so ever no chunks no nothing. A few guys have also seen it in person as it looks there and said the same thing about how fresh and healthy it looks. Not trying to argue my way out of what your saying but possibly the photo is making it appear no good?

[CHA54]

when they've had regular oil changes (every 10,000 or so), they're still silver under the covers after 100,000km

[eviltwin]

Ok , no problems ill have a chat to the previous owner and ask him what was done if anything with the head when it was built up.

Thanks for the heads up!

[Guest]

Yeah that does not look re built at all man, way to dark under the cam covers.... depends if it was just quick and dirty bottom end rebuilt though

Easiest way to tell is to take a look at the bore (i.e remove the head)

[eviltwin]

Sick!

[cruzer]

is that some added floor mat extra or sumthin ???? i is confused

[Blind Kid Seeks]

cruzer... its period correct AE82 Genuine Toyota Floor Mats....

[eviltwin]

Ive been scouting out some **** for the car recently and had BWAY do a really nice thing and take a saturday , his tow car and hire trailer on the 6 hour trip to grab the car, she now resides at my place again and yesterday i bolted the motor into place , looks and feels preety ******en awesome to have it this far. Still loads to do but ill let the pics do the talking!

Lots more to come!
