Hahaha yea had protective glass's on an some welding gloves?? Probally 1 of the most ghetto mods you could do :laff:

So done the front today was actually easy Tomorrow clean up a couple of things and maybe a lick of paint on Wednesday depending on weather and how much beer I have consumed before 10am :yes: Here's some pics Please excuse here fat ass Cheers

haha ok i'll try it...I'm doing 2 coils, as it gets close to through i'll hit with a hammer, then try work it off the strut!

The russian mafia loved this model!

So did the rear springs today , went all smooth and really fast then decided it to do the front , HOLY SHIT! I looked at it and relised it wasnt a quick job! From my point of view I have to unbolt the Tie-rod, Tension brace , low control arm , steering arm, top hat , not even sure what I have to do with the brake lines! Anyone got a easier way ? and I'm not cutting the spring while its still on the strut! Cheers

Evan G - Yea mate , corona's xt130 do the same but are easier to find tho. blzbub666 - Probally wont find a short stroke but might find a shock that fits and a little bit taller which may help :dance:

Hey blzbub666 hows the white walls going mate? Still Researching the Hilux Shocks, I know its Single Cab 4wd but not to sure if its 4th gen or 5th gen. Front shocks are killing me and I'm not keen for the whole conversion. I'll phone around tomorrow see what I can uncover! I'm going about 110mm - 120mm from the jack up spots( lowest part of the car ). Cheers

Hey Guys Going to get some parts tommorrow from the wreckers for my suspension just wanted to confirm that all will be good. Rear Springs : Ford Falcon Au Springs x 2 Shocks : Toyota Hilux 4wd model Front Shocks Front Springs : Ford Falcon Au Springs x 2 Shocks : Unknown ???????? Corona Lca and and Steering arms Cheers p.s Got some new pics coming soon!

Red ring looks cheap, If you do the keto symbol in red make it look dodge and worn maybe even paint it with your hand like smeared blood! Something I would do :laff:

That would look good! Get them white walls back orrrrrrr get drunk and do it again ??

don't forget etch! or the rust will grow under the primer/paint, you can never prime bare metal with out treating it or etch primer

Well have to finish the bodywork before 8 Feb ( Was a set goal ) Then doing suspension after should be end of Feb. Then 4K is schedule for some work, date undecided on that So not really soon , I'm quite the perfectionest..but painting this week depending on weather and if I can decide on a colour. The Tailights were pretty stubborn just got to make the standard holes a little wider.

Yea mate, coming on good....cut out the back gaurds yesterday. It is licenced till june :) ....

Never been a fan of red cars its a little bit to out there for me. The twin exhausts came with it when I bought it, they 2 into 1 welded on the the back of the muffler. They grey I'm thinking of is like this Cheers

Love this shape! Pretty rare these days!

Anyone got ideas on colour? I'm thinking Dark Grey Boring White Jdm baby blue Let us know

Thanks mate Well the next thing is the arch's, they are Dead. so going to cut them out I got some flares that I would like to put on but need to do the suspension. So been doing my research on a cheap upgrade but 90% topics bursts into a fight and don't want to look like a noob so getting no where slowly but I'll get there. I think i got the back sorted with falcon Au Springs and hilux shocks But the front is killing me cause I can't find AE86,Corona,T18 Struts in Perth Engine will be 4agte when the time is right

This is what she looks like now Shes sitting like a 4wd I know

So after my fail attempt at building a datto 180B only cause parts are harder to find than a 16year old virgin, I decided to buy my self a little rolla. Before buying did some research and fell inlove with the Ke70 model, watched a couple of vids on the YOUTUBE an seen Grant sliding his and that was that! Even tho I'm not a big drift nut, I still appreciate it and see it as more an art then anything else and a loooove the styling, I'm personally more into the time attack/ A-B racing tho. So less chit chat and lets see some pics! This is when I purchased it for a wooooping $500, probally paid $499.99 to much but I couldnt be bothered! Body was pretty rough Grill was made out of chicken wire Typical rust areas Had a 2 tone paint that was done with aerosol cans Had a 100" tacho to add a Extra 400 BHpowaaaaaaaa! Started cleaning up the back Got some new wheels ( I'm quite the wheel Whore ) R15x7 +22 195/60 ( To big :bash: ) So flipped them, was just a little to much for me so sold them Got the motherload of parcels from malaysa -Rear lights -Quad lights (Everything) -New Grill -Chrome bumpers After some inspriation from the parts from maylasia carried on trucking along Cleaned the rust off the lights, wasnt angry about this rust cause just proves they genuine ! Got some new wheels Strato upsilon R14 x 7 +2 Wrapped them in new Pirelli tyres 185/65 Nice Stretch The big hiccup in the conversion was finding straight and clean flat panels,looked hi and low through the wreckers with no luck but my luck changed! this is how I find my gaurds. Woke up went for my morning piss,watched some news, jumped on Egay was looking for some new wheels cause sold them other 1's Normally I go wheels then type my postcode in the little box to show them wheels in my city, after finding nothing, I typed in "ke70" into the search tab but was still searching only my postcode (Perth) and BAM! Left and Right Flat front gaurds NOS still in there box's! Got both of them for $150 , after I picked them up started on the front end! Bonnet wasn't straight enough for my liking so bought a new 1.

Come on guys!

Yea excel sounds good what year?

Oh and also need a new radiator, my 1 is all rusted out in the front , don't think it can be saved. so what cars radiator could I use? Cheers

Hey Guys, Need some help with my build, 1) Whats the main noticable difference between the flat and slant windscreen wiper panel? 2) I bought some chrome bumpers (Item number: 140491456115) on EGay and as you know the don't come with brackets, would I have to custom fab some new 1's or is there brackets off some model corolla that fit? I got a Rear corona xt130 bracket that could fit but it goes into the chassis wrong, It goes in vertically when Its supposed to be horizontally. 3) Does anyone have a guide or give me some easy steps on how to strip my door so its ready for paint, all I want gone is door handles and the chrome strip just below the window. Thats all for now. All info is much appreciated Cheers

Thanks guys for the info I'll go Kumho 195/50 They $105 fitted from Bob Jane Pretty good

I have a fresh set of 205/60 lying in the garage just want to use them up!
