Hello! Me and my little 3sge-t SV21 wagoooon
Hi Everyone,
My name is Ryan and I live in Darwin, Austalia.
I am a motor vehicle enthusiast and a loyal Toyota supporter, and have been playing with, breaking, repairing, modifiying many different cars over the last 12 years or so.
More recently I bought an 1991 SV21 Wagon for $1300, to be the work horse of my small hobbie buisness. A month or so after purchase the car it did a water pump on the way to an important meeting, and cooked the head. Repair bills came in at $1.5K to $2.5K for another engine dropped in, or a rebuild engine dropped in. I did not like this idea for a car I just brought...
But then I heard of a ST162 Celica that had just had a GT2 conversion (3sgte/front wheel drive) and there was a rebuilt gen 1 3sge for sale for cheap, a deal was done and I under took the conversion. I also found it hard to find clear photos of exactly what is required to complete the conversion, so I made a photo diary to assist others along the way: https://www.facebook.com/ryan.wright...2827988&type=3
Anyway 2 years later she is till going strong, I am currently in the middle of a NA-T conversion. Will update soon.
Thanks for reading!
