Late last year I was searching through all the auctions sites in Japan for some thing unusual, not quite knowing what I Was looking for until this popped up. It's a 1983 Toyota mark 2 Lx65. Basically an 80's chaser with a 2.4 turbo diesel engine. When I seen how clean the car was I had to have it. Paid more than I wanted to but I was more than happy when it landed in November 17.
Some pictures of when it was in Japan https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/5c57dbfe98b1946a8264274b2c91e5b3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/4530d1f096b07d2d2d8c90e45d12b4e1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/403c82457691fb96d9107e136d4f080f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/7f50df9f50c070ae0ec3794d7d16510a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/50764146ab395a6a9df0521441d26d3c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/af7faaea021e18fea7d6124578430cfd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/e9d2d0c3e118e4900b0f95da099d8885.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/9bb55144f51ba4f0a8194f6ed61004e3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/b2cc5261182c933d1af2e6e20467111a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/d97cc6771ed5ed47d6cc4e8d3160374f.jpg

Plans for the car from the day I saw it was to get it low with a nice set of wheels.
While I was waiting for it to come from Japan I decided to search yahoo auctions for some wheels.
Couldn't decide on a full set so I ordered a couple of different pairs of wheels, going to run mismatch wheels on the car for the minute.
I got Ssr Mk3's in 14" x 8.5j in as new condition
Ssr mk1's 14" x 8j in ok condition, they have some curb rash /imperfections
Ssr mesh in 14" x 7j in very good condition
Hayashi streets in 14" x unknown width (8 or 8.5j at a guess)

Car landed in November 17 and I couldn't get over the condition of it! Starts on the button.
Next up was to sort out suspension.
I ordered custom front coilovers with camber plates from technotoytuning.
Rear coilovers are the same as Ae86 so I ordered them off mcnsport.com
They should have the car sitting nice and low.
Hoping to get all in and fitted in the next week or so https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/00a548c03e80488b1e5ac1d48c3238fc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/ceef2d2977a4252fe2a4f50a6f82cdcd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/c03ed866b75872cf9706fc655fd85222.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/0f2760b0921589fd499adec45656016a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/416f70f36a0ffaa743568d2656f741b1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/89130a3f99aa937f151694dc23fb6b99.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/29c19f8eb28bf5353a556ee2c6a45b18.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/16c070a381f0992dec2f26ff42bc64e4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180319/f063911b9718ca9d3e0db72530289be6.jpg
