[QUOTE="beyond, post: 1063935381, member: 17782"] G Evening guys. Was thinking of buying a new 'second hand' car to replace my old AE101 SEG. Been thinking bout Camry. But looks like my wallet wont allow that purchase yet. So I decided to restore my old AE101. The paintwork is beyond dead and banged here and there. Engine is stock BT. I have plans to repaint the car from Metallic Pearl Red to Solid White. Also have plans to do a full overhaul. But I am undecided which to do first. Should I do the mechanical part first or exterior first. Exterior plan: - Bought new Taiwan Smoked Lights. My old Ori Koito is very yellowish. - Bought US spec Rear Lights. - Dug out the ori SEG bumper lips - Dug out the Levin side skirts - Repaint the whole car to white and the after a month Sierraglow it. Mechanical plan: - Full overhaul (Roughly how much? I wanted to do top overhaul, but my mech said better do full. Was quoted under RM2.5k) - Adjustable Cam pulleys? - New sets of Spark Plugs - Replace the wiper motor? Its getting weak. Anyone knows where to get the motor? - Exedy Clutch? Exhaust: - Remove the Tanabe and opt for something quieter. - Get a proper Header But before all that..What to do first? [/QUOTE]
