Hey Guys and girls this is my first entry into the Toymods hall of cars i only have one foto at the moment tho ill try in update with more as i progress through the modifications i want any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

I took ownership of this car on the 14.01.2002 with no idea what i was in for to this day i wish i had a clue back then because with the $200 dollar price tag also came countless hours of grinding and cutting. As many of you would know, but after 2.5 years i can finally say i now learned something about cars, and on a side note thanx for the years of helpful information Toymods ,and the people that use it, provided.

Anyway the mods so far are as follows;


Engine:
18r-g *new*
extractors
2'1/4 exhausts
twin solex carbs


G'box:
standard POS 3/speed

Paint n' Panel:
new doors/hatch
rust removed
gunmetal metallic acrylic paint

Interior:
New bucket seats
cheapo autoguage dials
reupholstered dash/rear seat/console
sports steering wheel

Running gear:
16" speedy cirooco 2's
205/45/16 eagle f1' allround

sound's:
Pioneer head unit (mp3)
jl audio 6inch fronts

Plans: (short term)
lowered 2 inches
new shocks
6 inch splits for front
amp for speakers
tinted


Plans later this year:
1g-gte conversion
2 10inch subs
look into rack n pinion conversion
new brakes mazda or pug/hilux
new chameian paint
new bonnet front guards (still looking to buy)
revisited dash wiring and guages
lsd diff conversion


anyhow if you got this far thanx for reading through my lil babys bio please leave feedback as im always looking to improve
Andrew

Your RA28 is great Smile You can see the TLC put into her and she looks magnificent. I bet driving it for the first time after the restoration would've felt magic Very Happy

Good luck with the car, keep modding and keep us updated!
