A combination of my grandmothers seamstress skills and my fitting skills, we managed to re-vinyl the ceiling.

 

Oh and this is with the new springs in and a wash next will be finding a clean 1uz, rebuilding it and installing. Also to build a tube tray.

 

She did a good job! Can your Grandma make me a new headliner too? LOL That's really the only thing that I need to do to my interior to have it "finished" right now. I still have my original to use as a template so I may end up making my own like you did at some point.

 

That is essentially what we did. Used the original torn up headliner, stencilled/measured it and reproduced it on another piece of vinyl that cost be about $15. Literally 1% of the price an interior trimmer would charge. And there are no aftermarket headliners available here either

 

Hi All!

I havnt been very active on here for the last year or so. So I thought to post to give you an update on my rn46☺

sooo Im installing a new motor. A 1996 1uzfe V8 with the automatic gearbox attached from the sc400 toyota. The transfer and 4wd box is from a toyota surf here in Australia, it is a chain driven case. Im currenty finishing off the wiring and soon to have it back in the road.

Im wiring it up muself with a help of a friend too, this seams to be the most time consuming.

Pulling the old Australian 18r out!
V8!

Tidying up the wiring

 

Oh and I hope this links to it starting up 😀😀😀😀
