Hickoz_bro's 1GGTE RA28.... NOW RUNNING!!!!	Wed, 03 August 2005 04:25

FINALLY got a scanner, so i can post pics of my pride and joy! firstly for those not familiar with these... it's a 1977 RA28 LT. on it's second engine (at the time of photots) about 3rd or 4th coat of paint... so it's pretty much stock. a little bit of history, car was purchase for my older brother as his first car, about 13-14 years ago, and had some modifications done, including lightened flywheel, modified cam, port and polish job, lowered king springs and a few other bits, used to sit on 13' hot wire mags, and bidgestone SF-340 Eager tyres, looked PHAT with the bubbly little wheels, deep dish, and white writing... until one day my bro managed to smash up the back left quater panel... me thinks he tried drifting, or soemthig like that, and hit a telegraph pole... so dad went to canberra to pick it up, bought it back to QLD, and started repairs on and off... took about 5years before it was back on the road, when i deceided it was gonna be my car, so i started fixing it, did everything i could bear in mind i was about 15-16 at this stage... anyways, eventually the car made it's way back to my brother who was in carins at this stage, only 3 weeks after it's new paint job, humidity blisters started appearing, and it's only gotten worse since then... however eventually he decided to give it up, and i was first to take it... since then i've given it a general tidy up, changed all the suspension with KYB shocks, Nolathane Bushes and Adjustable Whiteline Swaybars. i've also got a 1GGTE GEN3 sitting in the bay at the moment, awaiting intercooler, radiator, wiring, and exhaust. future plans include a hilux LSD, 4 wheel disc brakes, 16' 3 piece simmons wheels, and a new coat of paint, along with anything i think of along the way. anyways, enough of the chit chat... here's some pics These 3 were taken the afternoon i picked up my suspension goodies, got them on the cheap from the guy who owns the pulsar (which by the way is for sale, 1994 SSS, with SR20DE, goes well, pretty damn good nick too), he works at repco... nothing suss lol... These were taken the night we fitted the front sway bar... what a bitch that was!!! we thought, it'd be heaps easy, not so... either way, we got it done with out too much hassle, few stripped bolt heads and a trip to bunnings for new bolts and we're done. these were taken out on the farm where we used to live, went out there for a visit to pick up some parts from the shed, and couldn't help my self, had to take a few piccy graphs... gotta say thanks to all the guys who've helped my get this far with my conversion. 84LLA - engine, g'box, loom and ecu. Stradlater - engine mounts. normo - heater tap and seatbelt (RWC problems) Kirk - help with general bits and pieces RA28Freak - the same, WILBO - throttle cable FrEaK oF CaRs - igniter and bits and pieces and last buy DEFINATLY not least a bit thank you to my good mate, who's saved me heaps on parts (the fella who owns the pulsar) and all those guys i haven't mentioned, you've all made life a bit easier.
