OK OK it's been quiet yes.
I am going to take some new photo's of it this weekend, nothing too outlandish has been done, just a couple things.
Lowered the rear maybe 1/2 -1", simple leaf flip.
replaced front shocks and control arm bushes, which by the looks were the originals.
took the manifolds off, and pulled out the stupid heater flap thingy. It made a bad hole and leaked bad, so i took it out. Now it goes pretty damn good and hard. I just need to rectify the exhaust pipe, and it shall be silent once more.
Have been trying to track down exctractors, but it's limited.
Added some gauges for water temp and oil pres, just to keep it real.

I tink thats it. Money is limited for now, but the carpet is next, as is the outside paint job, which i think the girls have chosen morpheous purple,

hey mate are you still after a radio knob and that little compartment/tray that sits above the radio?

cool thanks for the heads up

hey mate can i ask a favor ??

can you take a photo of the 120y and XB side by side at a few different angles please.

I find that the 120y sedan is very XA/XB ish in styling which i have been debating with friends for some time.

if you could that would be great as i havent had the opportunity to get the two cars together like this before !!

cheers

for sure, its on the to do list. the tc-tc cortina's are very xb shape, one reason why my wife loved the xb, as her 1st car was a corty, and another why she said yes to the 120y.
the 120y would prob be the closest datto shape to an xb.

where abouts in Qld are you ?? Im moving up there next year once we sell our house here. probably end up in Nambor.

thats nambour. i used to live there for most of my qld live.
I'm at Morayfield now. half to 45 mins south of there.

mate that xb was sweet in previous pics im currently involved in restoring a v8 xb coupe with metal sunroof look better than handle but hey, and curious how many kms has that 120y done or have i missed that in the posts

255553 k. i dunno how many rounds it's done. but everything is still original so far, ie shocks suspension, engine etc. the engine wasn't lookedd after due to the sludge that was in it when we rebuilt it.

Holy crap my wags was missing the exact same radio knob

Looks awesome man, keep up the great work
