My New Ke55

[SLO83]

Well here is my new project car.

To start off i am just fixing the few rust spots in her (have already cut the rust out just gotta weld in new steel u can see it in the pics) and going to colour match it all to the original colour.

Then my missus will be driving it untill she gets a new car(Hopefully not long)

I only just bought her 2 weeks ago(The car not the missus :harhar: )

 

The lady i got her off was only the second owner and were i picked her up from is the same address written in the book as the original owners address..

 

It came with recipts showing all work done since new

It is a 4k 4spd

has 122 thousand km on it and is like new

 

if some1 can post pcs as i am useless at posting them ( have tried numerous times) it would be helpfull

 

 

Cheers Jae

[Felix]

looks alright, except for the gay looking gear knob.

[SLO83]

yeah the gear knob on it was broken when i got her and this one was lying around ( came off a mates civic when he bought it). So i stuck it on there till i find an original one. I have decided that i am going to leave her stock standard with a only the addition of a set of white walls and a rear venetian.

here are the pics of the little girl now the rust is fixed and painted

[Super Jamie]

ooh neat and tidy :D

 

i would try get ke30 chrome tail lights and bumpers, they suit the old cars so much better. and lose the hubcaps, paint your steelies gloss black or matte silver and get some chrome dress rims :(

[Rolla__Boy]

Even get normal KE55 tail lights, those lights are LATE KE55 tail lights. ewww

 

In fact that must be like a 1981, or later, see the "Corolla" in between the tail lights=late 55, it would have had those MASSIVE bumpers on it originally. Someone has changed them.

[SLO83]

yeah build date on her is 2/81

 

 

I am going to put my 15" mags of my wagon onto her, and i am currently looking for some new taillights as the ones i have are faded and f**ked, Do any of you guys no somebody in bris who can lower my car at a good price(leaf springs in the rear)??

Any help would be appreciated

 

Cheers Jae

I have a good pair of tail lights, if you are keen to pay postage on top of purchase price.
