Camry stripdown continues

Decent weather and a bit of spare time the other day meant I could finish getting the bumper off this, for swapping over onto the accident-damaged '92 saloon.

 

It looks even sadder sitting without wheels, but that's just temporary as I've pinched the 17's it usually wears for trackday use on the Sport this coming Saturday. After that they'll go back on again, albeit with rather worn tyres, as this car still runs and I want to keep it mobile for as long as possible.

 

Not sure if it's visible here, but the coil spring has broken (same happened the other side). I'll have to grind the end back a bit as it neatly sliced one of the old tyres...

 

Same thing with a spring has happened on the V6 estate I'm hoping to buy soon.

 

Subtle difference I've noticed comparing it with the saloon is that the water tank is mounted below the inner wing here, whereas on the saloon it's a smaller tank inside the engine bay. Preumably that's because it needed more capacity on the estate, to deal with the rear window too?
