Well went and got her registered today all official like...     got new plates and tags...     fun stuff....          Gave the engine bay a bath and put in a battery - Filled the bowls of the carb and she actually fired up then promptly died after about 15 seconds....      crank it some more and she wants to start...     put putt type...     anyway = I notice a liquid spraying from under the hood - hmmmm    an engine wont start without fuel so...    ya...     I should have checked the rubber lines before as they are ALL now leaking....       good to know the fuel pump works though.   

Looks like tomarrow I'll be ordering a complete list of brake parts as well as getting some fuel line...     should have this thing on the road by next weekend...    It'll be pretty busy around here as I am picking up my freshly painted Charger tuesday as well...      yay for three cripples in the driveway!    we shall see.   :D

Small Update on the Satellite - last night got a set of used Cragar S/S wheels and some decent rubber (BFG 245/60/15) to slap on as the Keystone wheels are 14" and wont clear the front disc brakes I'll be installing (standard Volare stuff with 11.75" rotors)  Later on she'll get Viper calipers but that is way down the road...    the convertible top is working again so I am close to driving her...       The plan for the car is already determined - get her on the road without spending a heap....    quick paint job, rebuilt 383, big block TF727, and 3.23 sure grip...    Toyota Speedway Blue, white top and white interior...   

opinions ?

If this was my car, I'd keep the correct blue it was born with. It looks very good!

I don't know how different the Speedway Blue is compared to the original, so I must comment - -  WHY CHANGE A GOOD THING?

Well - here is a photo of the Blue I am talking about


Compared to stock


all in all I think it is a VERY close match to the original blue - you ask why change a good thing ?  How many different mixes are there for plum crazy ? I've seen at least 3 different shades and everyone says theirs is correct...    what about B5 blue ?  same thing....         This is the closest color to the original I have found and it is a modern color with all the advantages of such...    easier to find, no custom mixing, and they sell those little touch up pens at AutoZone   hahaha       

But honestly it is Very close but just has a little more "pop" in the sun...    :2thumbs:

yep - thanks for the compliments guys - this will be getting a rebuilt 383 and a big block auto in a while - in the mean time it is just getting some front discs and a rebuild of the brake system then driven around a bit until the time comes...   the Poly runs but I dont think it will fit the bill for my itch...     

Down the road is the engine / transmission swap, paint, interior, top, and some minor body work - I expect to have this little guy done for < 8,000 = going to do the minute bodywork myself and going to end up painting her myself as well...   I will only farm out the top - I know my limitations    :scratchchin:

Well - small news - I got my choice of a couple engines - got a 440 block, 383 block, the 318 Poly, and a complete 383...    The plan is the just rebuild a stock 383 with a K56/K60 on a 115 LSA  and around 9.5:1 compression...     Stock appearing with about 380hp...   just enough for a little cruiser....       This project will begin in the next couple weeks it seems.
