Got my DIY mojo and decided to get a couple of things done. Painted the cam covers and also used my old fuel filter as an oil catch tank.
Painted it flat black,
Now i can tell people i drive a "black top" 4A-GE!
Cost : Paint - RM7 (Abro matt black)
2 hours of hard labour
Resulting a very happy owner!

first time reading ur blog and already inspired by it! fuel filter as oil catch tank! now why didn't i think of that before..
ReplyDeletein Indonesia, we don't see AE80 often. we get the lame EE80 instead with E-series engine.
do visit my blog when u have time. it's charmant4age.blogspot.com
thanks!
What type of paint you use for painting the cover? Any DIY steps?
ReplyDelete"Black Top 4AGE"..... I like that!
@ Edgar : Great blog you have there too! Rear wheeled cars are always much more fun than front wheeled. Here we too get lots of E series, but still transplanted with silvertops and blacktops. And the fuel filter as OCT works btw, same principle, cut cost but require replacement every half a year.
ReplyDelete@ Vince : Yeah probably ill do a short tutorial. Was using Abro Flat Black bought from Carrefour for RM7 only, loved the flat paint as i didnt really need to sand the covers, just had to degrease it.
