So this came up - http://www.teammightyboy.com/forum/view ... =16&t=6260
And I thought I had to have it.


Picked it up last Saturday and drove it home on a trade plate.

History is Importer (Verban) to VIC, then back to SA, then to me - all years uncomplied, just like mine :)

Plan to comply and register ASAP (allowing for Civic rego to be used enough).
Then start back on other one with this one helping me find how it goes back together :D
Body is a bit rougher then my other one, also has slighty larger rust holes in the same area as other one had - but I shall ignore it till registered this time :P.

rust is like cancer , treat it so it stops spreading ASAP. these cars are rare as it is in Aus and hard to find in jap land that can be regoed here. the sun kills the dashes also very easly to. AWD 88-89 steel.

RE861 (Mighty Boy / Hatch) - 215mm, F16x1.5 > F12x1.25

Looks like mine is ~210, F14x1.5, F12x1.25
perhaps I'll have to try RE872 - 227mm F14x1.5 (socket) F12x1.25 (tre)

2 Seater.. Sedan

No intrusions, no cat
in fact in the end all I did was swap mirrors (as I had them redone for the other one)

Hopefully things go my way and I'll have 2 cars sold soon to start more work on the other alto.

Need to replace a Rack end (inner tie rod), had a nice long look under the car and seems like its a engine out process :censored: :censored:

Fixed the broken fuel gauge.. by swapping the section out of another cluster.

Unfortunately most tasks in the engine bay of these cars end up easier with the engine out! :P

Just cant see myself taking it out and in without finding stuff I don't like / wanting to clean up bits etc...
Want to keep it as intact as possible so I can put the other one back together properly
