Re: Yeah, gidday:)
Thanks guys, Ive been lucky enough to meet a ton of awesome people in the Toyota circles. Flawles & Lofreq- good to catch up again! Alex, sorry that 100 is long gone, those front lips have always eluded me too.
Ryan- Unfortunately I built that thing ages ago & lost the original CD from magazine shoot. All Ive got is an average scan if that helps.
Was a great ride, 161 parts were non-existent back then & I remember the lights costs me heaps. Noone even knew what a Aristo was actually. I fabbed everything from sheetmetal somehow, bugger doing that again Used to use it for promo girl transfer liason at D1 events, school balls, etc.
