hi all, some of you may remember the v6 camry that i sold to my parents back in may this year... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2539590

well, i got myself another gen3 today, this time it's a station wagon, again a v6 (3vz-fe). i'm picking it up tomorrow and i'm looking forward to doing a few small upgrades as soon as i get a chance... this is the car... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....MEWA:IT&ih=007

it's in pretty good condition, apart from a couple of small dents, one on the bonnet and the other on the front right guard. they actually look worse in the pictures than in person.

well, last time i checked, there was one of them at the local junk yard about 10 minutes from my house. not sure whether it would be worth mailing to the US though? i don't know how much it would cost in postage?

i'm due to go back there for some bits in the next few days, i'll see if the panel is still there.

What does the center panel look like? I'm intrigued.

Welcome back bro!

You can see it at the cardomain link that he posted in his opening post.

xtremeskier97 · 10-03-2007, 09:56 AM

In the cardomain.com link it says that your parents car is a 1997 Gen3? Gen3 ended in 96. Is it different in Australia?

Welcome back!

Welcome back!

Gen3 in Australia ran up to around April-May 1997. so yeah, it's different here.

the wagon is an October 1995 Gen3 model. i'll add it to cardomain after a good wash and some pics.

today i went to the junkyard and got a few bits for it.

Eyeball, i'm sorry to inform that the only Vienta in the junkyard had a big hole in the center panel. but i'll definitely keep an eye out (no pun intended) for one as they seem to get a camry/vienta every couple of months or so.

i have an idea of how much it will cost to ship, thanks to Adam, so i'll let you know as soon as one turns up. i do go to the junkyard fairly often, you could say.

***eyeball96*** · 10-05-2007, 06:57 AM

I appreciate ur efforts....I'd love to have one...talk about unique!!...yea, I talked to Adam too. I'm sure we can work something out, hopefully soon!

Unco · 10-12-2007, 05:14 AM

picked up a set of wheels for the wagon today... http://members.optusnet.com.au/unco_soldier/2a5a_1.jpg
they're 17x7 45p off a new Toyota Aurion

and i also got this head unit for it: http://www.kenwoodaudio.com/Singapore/prodDetails.asp?Cat=Car%20Entertainment&SubCat=2%2 0DIN%20Components&Model=DPX-MP4090S

i haven't forgotten about you eyeball, it may take some time before i find a centre panel though
