  1. Yeah, I hate transporting parts in Lolla. It damages the seats. On one occasion I had to transport an air conditioner and it wouldn't fir in my car at all. So i removed the passenger seat, laid it flat on my back seat and carted the A/C up front with me. :P
  2. Such a pitty she has all that damage to the paint caused by the eggs. I think this will be the end of it here. JiP-01, JiP-03, JiP-04 & OKE-50. Plus i've set myself a date that all the cars must be completed. I've got to my 25th so that a few years now :P
  3. Yeah I know. I'm about to move the whole fleet to my sisters house. She has a large back yard with street access. Just gotta pick up a nice early bonnet for her. Might to to do that this weekend as i've had one lined up for months.
  4. The late model dash but with no demister and the early speedo. This is after I cleaned it up. It was badly dusted and dirty. Perfect roof lining!! I had a go at cleaning the car, windows and polishing the bumpers. Lastly, the two oldest girls in the patch. Future plans... I have a 5K lined up, a 5 speed lined up and plan on painting it the green that the new Camry's come in. Hope you enjoy the progress that will be shown here!!
  5. Well as of today there are four cars in my stable. I found this car a few streets away from my house. It was on the day my sister was moving house and I thought it would be handy if i had a wagon to transport her crap. Well its been sitting there for months so I thought I'd make an offer. Turns out they've been wanting to sell for ages but have never found the time. The paint is looking pretty sad as its been egged and painted several times. The bay. This car has given me many surprises. When I popped the bonnet i discovered that it housed a 4K. I also discovered that the build date is 76 instead of 77/78. So somewhere down the line someone has placed a late model bonnet, grille, dash and seats in it. I took the skanky seat covers off and found cloth seats. I usually don't go for cloth seats but kinda like these. Here's the proof that its got the late model seats. The metal bracket in the earlier models were over the top of the vinyl, not hidded inside like here. After removing the covers on the back seat i discovered how soft and comfy they were. Plus no rips like the front and plain vinyl, not cloth. The boot. Its had some sort of carpet installed which shedds badly. I'll be getting real carpet insalled here. Now with the seats folded flat. This will be the car I drive to the wreckers once its on the road. :P And lastly, the reason I paid what I did for the whole car. Two tires were flat but i pumped them up and now they are fine. :P These rims may end up on SL2. More to come... I went nuts with photos today!!
  6. He found it only by luck. We were at a wrecker that had KE20 parts and asked if there was another wrecker near by that also stocked KE20 parts, They sent us to one up the highway. Once there he asked if the had a KE10 grille and BAM, he had one. Best bet now a days are car forums or chasing down the elderly as they drive around in their KE1X's.
  7. Meh, I was close. I got the Ace part right :P
  8. 4K's are out of KE55's. 5K's are out of early Hi-Ace's 7K's are out of Late Hi-Ace's
  9. If you post in Off Topic or any of the For Sale forums it doesn't count.

    Spotted Jae today driving down Green Rd.
  12. Is this a for sale forum?? Try to make just one thread if your looking for something. Try a wrecker or have one re-chromed.
  13. Well, just thought I'd update this. I cleaned my computer table as i got my new monitor. Funnily enough, i got to clean some of the old draws that now house junk. I found a dead, hollowed out mouse. And to add to it, its not the first time i've found one hollowed out in my room. The funny part about the draw that I found it in was that it use to house my underwear. That would explain the hole in them and what actually killed the mouse. :P
  14. Nice shed. What does one of those set you back?? By the way, I love the green grass!! (We don't have grass out this way, its all dust :P )
  15. It'll most likely have nothing to do with Michael Knight. Its all about a crime fighting Pontiac. I'd pay to see that. :P
  16. I can't say that i was old enough to remember Night Rider, but i did catch re-runs of it when pay tv first came in. I liked it. Lets just hopw the movie their making doesn't have suck a gay sounding voice for the car.
  17. I agree, we all have to follow the same rules. It'd be like me pulling my car out and driving down the shoulder to cut around everyone. Its even worse when they cut down to the front of the traffic light and sit right in front of you. What if by cutting down the lanes between the cars they come across a broken down car, the driver opens up the door and BANG, the rider falls off. They want to be treated like every other vehicle, then wait in line and follow the traffic.
  18. Same same. Plus Rollaclub is way cheaper than Ebay. :P
  19. As much as cyclists may annoy me, Motorbikes annoy me when they cruise down between the lanes. Sometimes if i see them coming i close the gap between the lanes. Oh and another small thing that annoys is "/" means end. So when saying "/Start Rant & /End Rant" its saying End Start Rant and End End Rant. But thats just me. Smalls things tick me off.
  20. My guess is a coke can or paper clips.
  21. There should be an official post from the admins sometime soon.
  22. Clark Rubber have a program on their comp that they can find out what rubber is needed and for what model car. Its basically rarespares. I wouldn't be surprised if they use the same supplier. Clark rubber also do the rust repair sections and locking strips for the windscreen rubbers.
  23. You can try ebay, Rare Spares or Clark Rubber (They get their stuff through a place called Spectrum Rubber).
  24. Might I add to my list of irritating things. I hate it when parents buy their kids brand new cars. I know this guy who's parents bought him a brand new commerdore with all the perks when he was 18. It even had his name in personalised plates. He ended up selling that to buy himself a 200sx. I went to school with another bloke who's parents bought him a brand new 200sx. He took it to a party where it got f@$king trashed. Friends of the family bought their kid a brand new car. He was in a road rage incident with a gang where the car was mangled. Insurance replaced it and shortly after that he totaled it. My solution, buy your kids a shitter, they shouldn't have a high powered car for their first car. They usually end up crashing them.
  25. Yes where you wanted to pay me for my services, but I declined.
