Being poor and working all the time makes it hard to even maintain my ma61 
Did oil change yesterday... had an original 'Toyota' branded oil filter on it I'll have to take a photo!
Diff oil looked a bit strange, had a strange red/orange colour mixed with the normal used oil colour

Getting the rust cut out isn't the drama.

Its putting metal back in and making it look half decent thats the problem.

so, hatch rust getting fixed will cost around $500, with the hatch resprayed in 2pac white, ready for the whole car getting resprayed (eventually)
anyone got the template/artwork for the rear stickers that mike webber in the US made?

Evil, I got 2 copies of the rear hatch stickers and my panel beater as one incase I loose the other one at home but I have no decals on the back of my MA61.
To get the hatch fixed for AUD$500 must be minor... I paid a lot more for mine to get done as mine was terrible...

yeah, my rust isn't very bad, probably about two or three thumbs worth? and only then, theres only one tiny hole....
but it's leaking. and i don't plan on selling the car soon, so it has to be done. it'll get done to the red car as well, but its not leaking so its not really the priority at the moment...
and tim- the copies you have, are they decals or do you have the computer things?
and, if i put the 7m in the white one, do you think i should put 3.0i on the back instead?

might be getting a respray as a 21st present.... i want opinions.... both car bodies are pretty good, so don't worry about that. and i don't want a red 7mgte supra.
option one: pay a guy $700 to swap 7m and 5m. repaint white car white. (approx $3000 because of shitty acrylic respray already). spend approx $1500 getting red car looking good. have a 7mgte white supra and a 5me red supra.
option two: don't swap the engines, spend the $700 on suspension, and pay approx $3000 on a good 2pac job on the red car, but in black. no engine bay, but doors and boot done. will then have a cool 5me white car and 7m-gte black supra.
let me know the thoughts. option one or two.

bodywork is pretty much the same. white one has a little bit less rust, but panels don't line up and theres a rip in the bumper (accident damage)... red one has a little bit more but is straighter and more complete... (no accident damage)...
if i painted it red, i'd dye or get a new interior...
