Hey guys... thought i'd share with you all what i have been tinkering with in the garage the last few months.

I started out wanting to Track race my AE93SX which has been my pride and joy for too many years to have any damage happen to.

So after some gentle persuasion by a few of my close mates who've helped me build the SX up to what she is today, I went out and started building an AE94 Sedan.

Looked around for a good shell for a few months, and ffound a ripper on Gumtree.com.au $500 later i had the best AE94 CSi on the market. Thankfully this old girl had EFI so it meant i didnt need to do the tank conversion or worry about running fuel lines etc etc.

Then stumbled across the Donor vehicle... Picked up a AE92 SX seca with a 20v conversion done in her. The Owner advertised it as a 2.0l Camry motor conversion... LOL's were had as we drove it away the day we inspected the car. Thankfully the motor was good and strong, no noises to speak of.

So then the fun begins...

Put the sedan up on stands, ripped out all the suspension, the brakes, the seats, the interior, the 4AFE, the Air Con, the exhaust etc etc. Lovingly we placed all the junk in the back of the SECA, and began ripping the 20v out of the bay. Along with the Rear Control arms, the rear disc brakes, the hand brake cable, the Hubs from the front, the Dash/Cluster, the cross member and front sway bar plus control arms.

Now that i have everything i needed from the donor, and she was full of **** i didnt need from the sedan... she was crushed... *waves goodbye to another Seca SX*

Then i emptied my Wallet
