TT141 | undecided stage of modification

When 1st had the car, the brake on its worst performance ever. I was force to find parts from junk yard, basically it was the due to the rotting brake pump unit. At less than RM35, I got it replaced however the pump unit must be upgraded to better match that 1.8cc engine.


From exterior, there are rush from front bumper till back. From the same junk shop, I manage to source complete front bonnet and a pair of left & right front fenders. I took the car to fabricator to clear out the rust and meant back the body. TT141 was nickname "RUSTIE" at this point as there were loads of devoted rush from the previous 2 owners, you will expect these from a 26 years old car.

I have yet decided on my vision of RUSTIE. I already found a Toyota 2.0 1G-GTE Engine from Toyota Soarer half-cut at RM2,000 only. Modifying this engine must have a whole replacement parts under the car which is roughly end up to budget of RM7,000 without adding in the paint, rims & interior fixes.

During these undeciding stage, I joined Retro Syndicate & meet up Alfredo who have just restored his version of TT140. Basically TT140 has a 1.6cc engine compare to TT141. Here are some links pictures he posted in R.S. Forum.
