hi again,im azrain previously i own a 1983 toyota corolla KE70..

but in January 2008 i involved in an accident and totaled the car...so i started selling the parts and collecting some money to buy me an x8..

i manage to get around (Malaysian Ringgit) Rm7k from the KE70 parts..plus my saving of Rm2k..i begin hunting for the next car..

after been searching for month..in July 2008...finally i found it..
1993 Toyota Mark II LX80..with 2L Diesel engine (manual) for Rm7k..

this car was used as a Airport Taxi before...the interior is mostly f*ck up hahaha...

the rear...still using an axle...not a subframe huhu...

and then the restoration process begin..

first order of business,

i buy a set of Doors with power window and brown interior..
and a set of jzx81 rear light

after installation

here how's it looked..

since i have too much time,i decided to strip the interior to check out the chassis area for rust..

still in a good condition,painted the interior with black paint antirust....silly me forget throw away the tar...hehe maybe next time lol

installed the door..

doing some wiring..

put back the interior and done!

also bought a full bucket from a friend of mine

hmmm as far as i know,there only one Halfcut shop in whole malaysia that have alot of jzx81 parts...but recently they seem to be running out of stock fast..one the reason is,parts dealer from Africa and Arab came and buy a s*it load of the stuff (set of doors,nose cut,engine parts,u name it)they buy in bulk and send it to their country...huhu...

so come to think of it,yeah its kinda hard to source jzx81 parts here..compare if u using a nissan...hehe
