Well I'm back...
Trolled around the old site while working on the 79 TE51 sports coupe a few years back. Was my poor college kid project which got mothballed soon after graduating. Now 4 years later, and a company man with some disposable income, I have had the urge to pull it out of the garage and maybe finish her off.
The digs...
1979 te51 SR5 Corolla. Bought by my mom new in 79
Rebuilt 2tc w/
Cam/ double springs
Dual weber 40's
Thorley header
Saturn alternator
electric fuel pump
Work equip 02's 14" x 7"
AE86 front strut swap w/ coilovers and tokiko adjustable inserts
Rear de arched springs with added leaf
Re done-ish interior
Rear sway bar
Yet to install 1" front bar
Special (work in progress) front bumper
There is a bunch of little stuff to do but the ol pacific northwest winter is layin in so we shall see what happens....
I still need to drop the ass another inch or so, solve the rear ugly bumper problem, make some RCA's , get new rear shocks, and of course there is always carb fiddling to be done...
The thought of ganking the engine back out for a bore n' port has crossed my mind, but im happy with it for now.
I also may or may not have stumbled across a 72 peanut and a 2tg that are dying to mate, so setting up that date could be eating up time and money...
Anywho, feels good to get back at hunting for non existent parts, swapping around franken parts and hearing those side drafts growlll...
