ROVdriver Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 Update: The car is now ready for the street. Had to convert it to fairly original shape to meet the norwegian MOT-requirements for registration. Here are some pics of the car in MOT-approved condition. Will get the norwegian plates next week:) Here is a picture of some of the family's JDM-cars:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexual_sushi Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Good to see the Z has the garage Really smooth looking car. I have a friend going to live on Norway for a year and she's looking for a car, she says they all seem to be quite expensive over there. I told her she should buy a z but I doubt that will happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S30Mike Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 ahh yes it is an RA23. I need to pay more attention to the detail, i always get them mixed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted September 27, 2009 Administrators Share Posted September 27, 2009 ahh yes it is an RA23. I need to pay more attention to the detail, i always get them mixed up. Same here, I think you can tell by the front Grille the RA23 is slightly different in that area. I personally like the TA22 style most.

ROVdriver Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Its a 76 ra23 as you already found out, and my brothers AW11 1987. Actually there is good space for all 3 cars in the garage:) And yes, cars are expensive in Norway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roastbeef Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 great car! lots of attention to detail. Did Jan @jancarfactory do the interior? looks very familiar. I have been in contact with him about doing some bits and pieces but communication is slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROVdriver Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yes, its from Jan carfactory. It takes a while, but the results are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Camouflage Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Same here, I think you can tell by the front Grille the RA23 is slightly different in that area. I personally like the TA22 style most. Easiest way to tell the RA from the TA is the lights in the front of the fender where it meets the bumper. TA they are the indicators (orange) and are sloped on an angle. RA they are side lights (Clear) and are vertical. Well, at least that's how I do it. I had an RA28 and my brother had a TA22. Nice Z.

Sirpent Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Interior pics: ROV As a matter of interest, can you tell us the break down of costs that you were charged for the interior in your currency, Dash, Seats, Door Trims, Carpets etc?

ROVdriver Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Ca 30 000 NOK for the interior. Coilovers and brakes is now installed, and the rims have been restored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirpent Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Interesting, Just saw the post for the cost of the interior Krone of Norway 30,000 NOK = AUS $5709.95 Pretty much on par with what you would expect to pay a quality trimmer in Australia. Looks fantastic nevertheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROVdriver Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 The car is finally on the street, first season after restoration. Feel good to finally drive her:) (Her friend is called Celica... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
