Shortened stock filler neck, sits flat/horizontal....filled rear hole in panel.
Boot has some ventilation holes in lower portions to let any gases escape.
Hadn't had a problem in 4 years. =]

Simple things work best.

Thanks.

Standard unassisted drum brakes and front end...cut springs in front (naughty naughty) not much suspension travel...handles pretty well actually! Rear has 2 inch blocks and saggy springs....back needs to go down another 3 inches so "C" notching the frame to get more travel out back....Interior is black gloss metal and no trim except for ripped old seats....pretty basic and noisy. =]

Cheers
MAIKI

Looks Smooooth,

Is that a satin pearl paintjob or just the way photo is, looks classey with shaved door handles and locks.

Metallic Pearl Toyota Colour (ew!).....sprayed with no clear on top..lasting pretty well, and changes from silver at night to purple during the day......Ek's look so much better in metallics.

Thats the extra 3 inches or so I plan on.....gotta tuck the rear whitewall a bit to look respectable....basically with 4 friends in the ackseat she sits on the bumpstops and looks puuurrrrfect.
