my first AW11 :)

no seats, and no motor, otherwise completely intact, only $780 aussie beans!

me and a couple of mates are going to make it into a track car. probly gonna go with a cheap 4AGE for starters, see how we go from there! Id like to see it end up with a 3SGTE one day. its got almost no rust apart from whats inside those dents, none underneath or in the sills or arches, there looks like was some in the boot but has already been repaired, only 190k kilometers on the clock :)

Meanwhile:

at this point you're probly thinking, "he's got two 3VZ's, thats one for each!" but incase you didnt see my orignal mk2 V6 swap (http://forums.twobrutal.com/showthread.php?t=6323), what happened there was that the motor blew a head gasket (even after i changed it), due i think to my poor prep work of the block and head surfaces. So, its come out again, and will be stripped down and rebuilt properly, and will end up back in the mk2 with a supercharger strapped to it :) the second 3VZ is going straight into the mk2, and when it comes out again later, will likely go into my mate's (the other aw11 owner) mk2. possibly. So that current swap is underway in my tiny garage again! Ill be putting updates in the first project thread when i compile them, here: http://forums.twobrutal.com/showthread.php?t=6323&page=33
