[DXchange]

wildthing & wrx,

salamat ng marami. pag may nakakapuna, nawawala talaga ang sakit ng ulo at heartbreak na nararanasan ko sa pagbuo.

wishlist ko ng old skool cars--starlet, celica, land cruiser, sprinter, ae86, dodge colt, l-type, galant colt, celeste, rekord, bmw 2002 at marami pang iba!

'83 Corona. Doesn't run as of now, but we plan to restore it when we have the funds.

By the way, can the 4A-FE (Corolla GLi) engine be installed in that car?

[2ylytwrld]

Yep kaya pero ambigat kasi ng kaha ng Corona.

Naalala niyo pa ba ang Datsun brand? Hehehe. Way before Nissan became Nissan, it was called Datsun.

During my childhood, our family car was a Datsun 180B coupe. 1800 engine, IHE mods, low profile tires, etc.

I miss that car so much. (OT: NCU 111 ang license plate nun, baka may makakita, bibilhin namin ulit. :D )

Some Datsun pics:


Our Datsun is the same as the "Sweden" car in the image.

Datsun fans, post na!

sir OTEP, ok 'tong datsun pero mas maunawaan din ng mga fellow tsikoters kung papano natauhan ang mga kano sa gawang hapon na kotse a long, long time agoooo..

if you can find it read david halberstam's non-fiction blockbuster "THE RECKONING" (see the book's review below..happy reading guys..!nyeheheheeee..)

From Publishers Weekly
Powerfully developing his thesis that the complacency and shortsightedness of American workers and their bosses, especially the automakers of Detroit, have led to a decline of industrial know-how so critical that Asian carmakers, particularly the Japanese, have virtually taken over the market, Halberstam tells in panoramic detail a story that is alarming in its implications. Immediately ahead lies a harsh scenario that will see America's standards of living fall appreciablyonly sacrifices will restore our "greatness." This lengthy book with its skilled, dramatic interweaving of two little-known storiesthe inside struggles of the Ford organization (including the firing of Lee Iacocca) in the 1970s and the growth of the Japanese automotive industry, notably Nissan, since the 1950scompletes the trilogy Halberstam began with The Best and the Brightest and The Powers That Be. Here is fresh and crucially meaningful material researched with notable thoroughness, replete with graphic portraits of top American and Japanese industrialists competing blindly on the one hand and with brilliant cunning on the other. The book is among the most absorbing of recent years, every page contributing to the breathtaking picture of an America that is going to learn to retool or else.

we're planning to buy and restore this 73 toyota celica. we need some infos kung saan makakabili ng parts. nagtanong na kasi ako sa banawe - medyo hindi maganda yung feedback bout the parts (wala na daw). right front signal light was missing. still have to wait for a week para malaman lahat ang problema.
need some tips guys. tnx

[OTEP]

Try a shop that specializes in restoring vintage vehicles. Our restorer found parts for a 1946 Ford, siguro naman may parts pa din for a 1973 Toyota.

:D

[primusXhelmet]

tnx bro otep. may contact number ka ba nung person who restored the ford? tnx uli.

[Ikabod]

Kung full restoration ang gagawin mo ay mahirap kung kulang-kulang ang Celica na kukunin mo. Mas maganda kung medyo kumpleto na ito bago mo i-restore. Kung exterior and interior trims ang hinahanap mo medyo mahirap na talaga maghanap ng mga yan. Kahit sa US ay halos wala ka na ring makitang brand new parts. Malamang sa junkyard ka pupunta para magbakasakaling makakita ka ng mga used parts. Subukan mo lang din magtanong sa mga iba't-ibang shop, minsan ay nakakatiyempo. Ako nga ay nakahanap ng NOS chrome vent covers at used side emblems para sa '75 Celica ko sa, of all places, isang shop na nagbebenta ng mags sa may Tomas Mapua St. sa Manila. Buti na lang nakakuwentuhan ko ang may-ari at mayroon pala siyang mga nakatagong Celica parts. Pero tiyagaan lang talaga ang paghahanap ng mga parts niyan.

Sa mechanical parts naman, maraming interchangeable parts na galing sa mga early'80s na Corona at Corolla. Katulad ng power steering gear box na kinuha ko sa '80 Corolla, direct bolt-on siya sa Celica ko.

[primusXhelmet]

tnx sa advice ikabod.

[allanraymondr]

nakakaingit kayo! hehe kami dati meron 1985 na bmw 323i (euro ver) 3rd hand na namin nakuha. sobra astig. super kinis pa kaya lang binenta kasi mahal ang mga parts. pero d ko talaga makakalimutan ang tunog ng makina nun. 2.5 v6 engine. kapag nagidle ang tunog glug-glug-glug-glug.... tapos kapag nagrev ka ibang iba ang tunog. hehe miss na miss ko na yun!!! pero dream ko talaga 1967 gt 500 =) keep up the good work sa mga nagrerestore =)

I have a 1990 Corolla XL. It's so old school because it has point break ignition system.

[ebbfolls]

Ako naman, am not restoring a car at the moment, but if I had the means, I'd like to restore/lightly modify any one of the following:

1. 76 Mitsubishi Galant (Sedan or Coupe)
2. 81 Corolla (with 4 round headlights)
3. 70 VW Beetle (not the Super Beetle)
4. 70 Toyota Landcruiser (FJ-40)
5. 78 Toyota Corolla
6. 81 Ford Cortina Coupe 2.0 liter
and
7. 86 Nissan Patrol 3-Door with I-6 gasoline engine.

Imported cars:
1. 85 Chevrolet K-1500 2-dr Blazer
2. 72-80 Chevrolet Corvette
3. 69 Chevrolet Camaro
and
4. 85 Porsche 911 GT Coupe

Just thinking wishfully.
