Hello fellow 1stgen lovers.

Been active on the forum a couple of months now, and it's time for a formal introduction.
I'm Rob from Holland, married to Rose from Brazil, and currently stationed in Oman. Own a TA28 back home, which regrettably sees not too much action, as it is only driven during my home leave. It's my second, as I had one other in 1978. Traded that one in for a new TE71GT in 1980, which I drove for another 7 years.
The current one I bought in Germany last summer, and it is in pretty good condition, see pic. It has GT badges, but these are probably not original, as it has a 2T-B.
Whenever I will have time I will swap it for a 2T-G. Scored three(!) of them in Belgium, and will rebuild one for the car.

These cars look really nice !! welcome to the forum bro !! your current engine stock ??? want more pics please ..

Current engine (2T-B) is stock, as I said, will swap with one of the 2T-G's later.


Some more pics:




And one from the old one; taken in 1979 on some dusty gravel road in Greece.

Looks very clean, welcome to the site.

2tg rocks....

Fully agree. Can't beat it for bang for bucks.
The TE71GT I had in the early 80's had one, and it handled great. Had some issues with freezing carbs during humid winter days, though. But loved it to bits.

I love the carbs for its sounds but maintenance isn't kickin... That's why go EFI 2tg if you can. I had a te27 once and I swapped a 2tg in it, its sure was a fun drive train.... Lots of respect from true toyota enthusiast with old DOHC toyota motors.
