Pics please
As many as you want, I've got 20meg to play with.
And I'm in Perth.

CrUZsida: I'm getting my mate's digicam tomorrow morning for pics (unless you want dodgy phone pics now? Laughing

)
Space isn't a problem, I have over 1GB to play with. Thanks for your offer though Smile

...Perth? eeek. Confused

You could drive it back, but if it was me I'd get the g/box looked at first (feels like the torque converter is on its way out. I'd drive it to Sydney no dramas, but I'm not so sure about Perth).
That said, you're exactly the sort of person I'm hoping will buy this car -- while the body of the car is nothing great to look at, I've always put the extra effort in as far as keeping it mechanically maintained... and I've bought far too many $$$ genuine Toyota parts in the process Mad

. This car would make the ultimate parts car for an mx73 owner Cool

I'm being totally honest about the condition of the car because this is toymods, damnit! No marketing bullsh!te 'round here. Very Happy

vip3r: good question... ripping the seats out is a last resort, so I'll give it till next weekend before quoting on individual parts.
Thinking about pulling those seats out reminds me of the 4 hours I spent searching wrecking yards for a cressida driver's seat with an undamaged (technical term, avert your eyes!) 'seat back cog thingy' ... the only one I found had stuffed cushions so I ended up cutting the part off the old seat with an angle grinder, welding it to my driver's seat and restitching the seat covering. Shocked

Don't worry though, that was years ago and the repair is still seemless Cool

h3ff44: Yep, Greenslopes. I'll be home most of the weekend if you want to have a look. [edit: just noticed you're in melbourne!]

I just got home to discover the front right tyre is semi-deflated Neutral

I'll tub-test it tomorrow and get it repaired if it's punctured.

...took some quick photos with my phone as the last light of day disappeared... left my bluetooth usb at work, so I have to setup the PDA and transfer them individually via infrared Sad
