Thought I'd pop up some recent pics.

Hi, close to Traralgon, eh. I like to see Toyota with Toyota etc...

I like this version better,

Can't help myself, already cut it up, starting on version 2.

This will be something to revisit latter, I best move it along.

Not sure about the rear but I will complete it this way and get back to the engine bay and get this muther going.

just had a little trouble posting, started again and dang it was there? No matter, there are some pics I would fix in the early part of the thread...meh. There are a few more GZeds in Aus/NZ (1 maybe AWD) and a couple of A80's of old up for revival, alas, none looking like running anytime...

Too bad I can't edit my own posts!

Still alive! Modified some driving lights to fit H4 Hi/low beams and shortened the stroke on the lifting mechanism.

Just to prove I'm not dead: Modified some driving lights into H4 hi/low beams and shortened the stroke on drives.

Got some house mods to finish, then I will be right back onto it. Looking at making a start on the ITB's manifold, purely for therapeutic reasons i.e. raise enthusiasm.

This thread has almost no pics of the car, I now have my cnc bell adaptor plate at last. I have been into the bodywork while waiting but I thought I would continue with the flares and front.

A small update just to show you I'm still tinkering. Most of the engine bay wiring is done, next is to refit fan/heater/ac so the ecus can be fitted in the glove compartment (and how appropriate as there will only be space left for a pair of gloves) The challenge has always been space to fit...

Awww, buy two.............one each for you and me! Looks good all angles, gets my vote.

There's the '60's Le Mans Ferrari & Porsche racers. A 330 would be good rivalry for your GT40 mates but in my eyes not as pretty. The open wheeler would be quite exciting but such limited opportunities.

Cribbj, have you settled on a chassis for the beast?

Go on, buy it, put it in your shed, somebody!

Toyota 5ME had it along with a lot of other early motors using a belt driven air pump delivering air right at the valve seats. A pollution thing, to oxidise more of the gasses in the the exhaust such as carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide (me thinks)

OK Andy, I see your engine is after 2005, it has twin electric fans and an idler pulley and uses the original v belt. I noted it used an air injection system into the exhaust (by an electric air pump) and that has explained the tube along the head I did not recognise.
