    Default TE72's (T18) found on a farm

    Found these TE72 (T18) on a farm near Canberra . The red one to have a tidy up and put on historic rego , the brown one to be wrecked where she lies and then scrapped. ( riddled with rust but good for parts).





    Pretty chuffed with the red one , it has a rebuilt 3TC donk , gearbox is sweet , diffs bit noisy and will be a 3.9 ratio ( but I have a t series AE86 4.1 rear end in the shed with new every thing ) so that will be bolted in.
    It has been siting in a paddock under a tree for about 3 years . Once we got a key ( they had been lost ) I put a battery in it , turned the key and she fired up and ran sweet as. When I got here home got out the 4000 PSI pressure washer and while still on the trailer , I went fully sick. Found almost no rust ( most ususal ) and Lovell coils all round plus Kmac sway bars front and rear and 2 INCH exhaust .

    Another Toyota Saved and even better it will be used .!!!!!

    Chris , I am wrecking the brown one where it is on the farm , its a quite a bit out of Canberra . I am not due to go back out there till next week . I will see what is worth salvaging from the items on your List. Some bits I may need myself but other bit will be available for sale. I know that the dash pad is totally stuffed , but the other items I think are ok . I will let you know. Cheers BOB

    We have a bit progress on the T18 . Bought F/R KYB G's of the net ( really cheap ) , a rear hatch seal at the right price and the shocking paint has begun to disappear.





    Other than surface rust in the cracks of the bad paint , this the only rust in the car.





    The paint stripping is done by roughing the paint with 40 grit , paint stripper and then using a 4000 PSI Pressure wash machine to blast it.







    This works well for me , quick and easy ----- wash , hand wipe some dioxine , wipe off with a clean moist rag , let dry , prep wash and dry --- then on with a couple of coats of a good etch prime.
