Hi all.

Original for sale thread - http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=150028
Here are a couple of pictures of my latest acquisition :)

It's a rev 3 that the previous owner, JO5MA5, has put a 3VZ out of a Camry in.

Future plans, in no particular order, include;

Restore the tail lights and toblerones to their original condition
Repair the (suspected) exhaust rattle/knocking
Clean and tidy the engine bay
Redo the dash
Rewire the cooling fans (on constant, need a switch put in)
Redo all wheels, they are matte and have been done to a low standard
Redo all callipers, now looking tired, and I don't want them red
Right hand rear arch requires repair
Sills both need replaced due to rust :(

The go is wonderful, the fuel economy is laughable, it's brilliant! Getting around 250 miles to a tank, so I need to do some sums and see what could be up with excessively heavy fuel consumption.
Also, I think the revs are reading as a 4 cylinder as they seem to be circa 1k out in the dash. Is there a standard fix?

Thanks all, Stuart.

Look up sengs mod on this forum for the rev counter mod, and good look with the rest.

Thank you to you both!

It's going to be very much a rolling project...
It needs a good tidy up to get up to my shocking OCD standards lol.
