None in shed but:

1) L sedan parts car
2) very sore Ruby Scoo after WA trip - needs exhaust fixed, new radiator and front left wheel repaired (slow leak). Could do with a wash too... and being un-packed :rolleyes:

Broken Subes

Post by legacytt » Fri Dec 21, 2007 5:47 am

I have only 1. 1991 Lib wagon, had interior fire and rear paintwork burnt so is destined for ute conversion. Has lift and Forester struts fitted and the EJ20t and auto are about to go in. Was offered an L series with blown head gasket yesterday, the comment being "better it goes to a good home rather than the wreckers"

All depends on what day it is really, however atm I have the following
1 L sedan (being converted to an RX.
1 RX being striped down
and occasionally a busted red wagon.
Toyota 105 Series LandCruiser (that nobody on here wants to really hear about).
RX Touring Wagon - fitted out for 4WDing (currently collecting dust).
RX Project - will be road only at this stage (and currently taking way to long to finish).

well last night i put the wheel back on my wagon and i have about 10 acres to drive around on so we have a set up a sorta little hill climb/motorkana... grass a few rocks and trees etc :) but i was trying to get passed a fallen tree and the angle of the hill plus the leaves and grass made me slip down onto a fallen tree so i got stuck on the passenger side..

Sir Will got out of the car we had a look and the best option was to get the scrumby (bluesteel) and use a snatch and pull the front around so i could get off the log (which i was well and truely stuck on now) in theory it worked but in practice the brumby was nearly too light but in the end a snapped rope later the brumby got me off enough so i full lock left hand down and just dumped the clutch and drove off this tree all good had a look at the damage and 1 kinda badly dented sill panel and door later....

but it gives me a challenge to get thru next time.. :) Ben
