Slow going GX51 Cresta
Posted: Mon Jun 24, 2013 8:17 pm
Bit of a slow work in progress but here she is
Its a 1981 Gx51 Cresta
It wasnt in the best shape when I picked it up but its getting there. I'll keep it concise and list a few of the things done so far and whats left to do.
So far
-Rust removed and a full respray in the factory 2 tone colours
-BC gold adjustables all round
-Bride reclineable seat in drivers side (going to try get it upholstered to match interior)
-SSR mesh wheels 15x8 and 15x9
-purchased 1jzgte an r154
Still to do
-Thinking about changing the colour and there is a couple new patches of rust to see to, I kind of expected this to happen.
-Need to paint the wheel centres matching colour
-Have to change motor to front sump which I now have, also waiting on waterpump etc to freshen up all those bits. And then obviously put it in the car, I still need to get an ecu for the motor itsout of JZA70 so if anyone knows of anything let me know.
-Im planning on having a play at some amateur drift days so will need a decent LSD.
There will be heaps of little things to sort with getting motor up an running but I'll get there.
And now the most important part......some pics
