Sony Unveils The Playstation 4
Jaliya48 replied to Californikan's topic in PC and other Console Games
LOL Jadey! I bought a busted PS3 in 2011 and fixed it up...except the BluRay lens! It's now my download content player! -
ALLRIGHT! That's a beauty, man! If you're changing the rims, let me know. I'll share my vintage Japanese wheel collection photos with you to pick one up. OT, but a friend I know has a single owner Datsun PB110 (known as the Sunny Excellent) from 1972 and he drives it daily too! I'll snap some photos when I see the car.

WHAAAAAT? That is SWEET! :smilie_liebe9:

Wow, a Carina GT? You really should have! Was this in Japan?

iRage, I don't know about the minimum age for a vintage import, but I doubt this KE will make it as it's 27 years old. (assuming that this was one of the last examples produced in 1986) My car still has those "C" mats, but they're a bit worse for wear. Mine has a different pattern though; it's black with the "COROLLA" detail in yellow. Till recently (early 2000s I think) I had the tiny mat that sits on top of the transmission 'hump' as well, but it has since passed on! I honestly wish that car goes to an enthusiast and not some 'ricer' who would change the rims and swap the 4K for a 4AGE. (not that there's anything wrong with that, but there are plenty of 'seasoned' examples out there in Japan for that sort of treatment!) A minor update on my Ksev; I gave the passenger seat a good scrub today, it looks much better now. More photos will follow as soon as I finish all seats. The half seat covers will be patched up and washed as well. I actually located several sets of these on YJapan, but none have the pattern I want on them.

Ah yes, the 'minter'! I came across this sometime back and saved all the photos. The interior is in excellent condition and the parking lamp lenses haven't discoloured either. My parking lenses have turned a dark blackish colour but I'm going to try Davy's sanding trick on them to see if it improves. The radio unit visible in this car is the AM unit which I had originally. It would be great if you could locate an OEM unit from Japan! If only we could import cars of this vintage now!

I had the original AM radio unit till 2011 when my father gave it away to a friend of his who was restoring his VW bug! I had it hidden but it was found and given away. I'm tempted to bring it back from the current owner if he hasn't used it on his car yet though. The GLs had a AM/FM radio similar to mine, but the FM range is upto 90MHz only. These have two knobs labeled Tone and Volume. The wagons and vans weren't equipped with cassette players, to my knowledge. I was seriously considering bringing down a US market AM/FM radio and fixing it up, but doing so presents two problems; one is that they were for LHD cars so the knobs are on the left side (as opposed to right on JDM cars) and the other factor is the price and rarity. The only positive is that the FM range goes all the way to 107MHz so it's functional and usable! EDIT: I almost forgot, these were manufactured by Fujitsu, but you won't find that name anywhere on the radio set! It's on a sticker on the top of the unit.

details matter...alot! I'm on the lookout for two similar wheel caps as the front wheel caps are squashed/bent. I keep an eye out on every visit to Panchikawatte but I didn't find one in good condition yet. I've already got the 4 speed shifter pattern redone on Photoshop as well, I'll be visiting Anim8 very soon!

Pretty awesome!

Got photos?
-
I know! My family members think I'm wasting my time over some car, but I want every bit of it restored!
-
Thanks Dinus! It will never be sold, even my father is impressed with the attention it gets when it's on the road! A general update; I removed the original toolkit and gave it a much needed wash. It's torn in places so I'm patching them up as well. All tools are still present with the exception of the slip-joint pliers. I'm hunting an original TOYOTA example down as soon as possible. I'll post a photo of the toolkit when time permits.

That Austin Morris is very charming!

Lol...drink it up before it goes cold! Nice work on the lights, Davy is a magician with these!
-
Nice car.
-
I've seen this unfortunate 3 series on the galle road...If you aren't proud of what you drive, sell it to someone who will appreciate it!

Night runs in a 300ZX? Lucky you! How many coats of paint and clear are you getting on your car?
-
No photos! I'd be after that two-door in a heartbeat!
-
If a Bluebird 510 is up for sale, PLEASE tell me!
-
Lucky you!

TRUE!

Thanks, Saturn!

Nice Cedric! I see an immaculate 203 on the road near Dehiwala all the time. I think it's a daily driver. Excellent condition throughout!

WORD!
