Cool car!
Some Halibrand look-a-likes from Image wheels would look different. Maybe you can find them cheap from a Pilgrim Sumo owner that wants to upgrade.
I wonder if a shooting break based on a Chimaera would work.

How about some 17" Decorsa 5s? A bit too VIP bling for me, but a lovely wheel. Maybe for the Camry actually... |

I wonder if a shooting break based on a Chimaera would work. Now I was actually musing on this before, as it happens. I wondered if it would be a bit like throwing minilites on an MX5 though. Just trying too hard to be retro. I do feel this is the 90s interpretation of the Cobra, I won't lie. Could someone PS that? And whilst the shopping was happening. .... Torque thrust 2's? |

Smokem, been following that thread too, loving it. For me, those are a touch too 80's, plus when I have wider rears, the dish needs to show that on the outside, personal OCD.

Small update, the 2 new suppressors arrived so I chucked it on...  I also got the 2 oddball batteries needed for the alarm fob. After a bit of fiddling they seem to work! Car alarm activates on and off. The added bonus is that it has finally disabled that flashing red LED in the dash... RESULT! Not so good is the fact that it has locked the doors and nothing will now unlock them. Hmm... |

Weekend! Time to tinker. I've managed to get the dash off...  All that pain to establish that this:  Is goosed. Half the LEDs have been pulled off. eBay fix kit beckons.  This I gather is the intermittent control for the window wipers. As these don't work on intermittent, I guess this is the root cause. Another repair tbc, but is there a specific orientation these must have?  Next up, trying to work out why the doors won't unlock. Central locking button is activating the solenoids to lock, but not releasing them. |

Weekend over, and car back together. What have i learned? Well.... 1. I think the source of my non locking doors is this relay module.  Once opened, I found the central locking button would make it click, but crucially not throw the relay to disengage the lock solenoids. Once the contacts were pressed manually, the solenoids will lock and unlock with no problems. I may take this apart further to try a repair, but if they are a common enough part I'll just replace. Now, I wonder what parts bin this came from? All back together, and i fitted a new gear gaiter along with a new aluminium surround. Looking a lot neater!  Only the door release knob gaiter to go. I've also left the dash loose fitted as I have ordered the LED kit for the heater controls. Need to solder them in when they arrive. There are some other choice parts in the mail...stay tuned! All that remained was car wash then a night time shake down with a mate. See pics for results!     |

You know what, I haven't been on this board for a month or two. Add to that I liked your project cars and progress. Imagine my horror when I log in to find you have bought a car I yearn to own, in the colour combination I would strive to get and finally that you probably picked it up for peanuts due to its issues! In conclusion I am very jealous and have decided to hate you.  |
