1973 Toyota Mark II Wagon – Rat On Steroids

Yeah, so I’m not a big fan of calling this ‘rat’ but I just really wanted to say rat on steroids…

It is a 1973 Toyota Mark II Wagon with a twin-turbo 1JZ-GTE engine in it from a ’92 JDM spec Supra, that has been fully kitted out with ARP head studs, HKS gaskets, intercooler, boost controller, RX7 oil cooler and a Supra R154 5 speed gearbox. It is running a pretty nifty 350bhp at 6500RPM.

It has also been dumped on the floor using a very slick air bag set up that incorporates a whole MA60 Supra independent rear end that works of 8 solenoids and has 6 independent switches so it can go up, down, left, right and all over the place!

Outside it has some nice old skool touches like the fender mirrors and yellow inner headlights but the paintwork is a lovely combinations of sun bleach, rust and original paint. The 15″ Enkei 92 mesh rims set it all off perfectly and look sweet sat so far in the arches.
