Jean55

only a ninja can sneak up on another ninja!

Hey guys, had a sunvsior made for my ke55, obviously it will be painted and mounted better what do we think? :hmm:

LMAO :lolcry:

And front shot

Hey guys just bought it from a garage sale $40. Should be a cool first 20" bike for my 6 yr old :yes:

Hey, Just a little clean up job, seems all the aircleaner lids ive seen are flakey and or rusty under the paint so i did a reco. -stripped -primed -painted

$130 for me, they have to take before and after photo's for vicroads. Gave him a headache working out how to take a photo of the working horn after it was fixed :hmm:

-Brown two tone ke3? coupe, lysterfield road-twice in 3 hours. -Bright orange 70 or later van, end of tulla freeway.

Probably only thing in his defence he wasn't overly impressed with the factory commodore and it was one of his he was driving and admitted ther was still more he wanted to do to improve the car. He loved the Alfa V6 it was his "pick of the day" and he also drove a falcon and said if only Dicky could see me now!!-Oh and he hated it :laff:

Wanted to share this with you all, a pre political correctness moment, I hope I posted it in the right area. I hope it's Toyota relevent enough, I bolded my fav comments. Just reading my lasted copy of wheels....ok well it is the May 1983 edition actually-don't ask, and came across the "Peter Brock track tests Australia's top cars" artical. One of said cars was the Toyota Soarer which was at one stage going to be sold in Oz but wasn't. Not sure if Pete's review changed someones mind but here goes and I quote: "Is this me? I don't think so. It has advertising agency horsepower. Does it really have a 2.8lt twin cam donk? I don't believe it. The suspension is disgraceful, typical shit Japanese suspensions. There is a total lack of damper control, it feels like as if it doesn't have any shocks at all. It's nice having all those gimmicks but they seem to come at the expense of the rest of the car. The engine is harsher up high than the BMW. A car that looks like this should have a five speeder for quick driving, It's just as well they don't sell it here." Other funnies are comments like "Geez mister" (Audi 5) "A real sing song" (Alpha GTV) "Bloody Japanese tin boxes" (mazda 626) Ah Peter, Fair dinkum!! you make me proud.

Has anybody notified ebay about this with the ke70 add on there at the moment? Item # 170778399438

Love that front guard.

Nice guys, thats the stuff! :yes: 3xy Melbourne bumper sticker?

That's hard to argue!! :yes:

What you talkin about - sorry had to :( You don't think there is some sort of guidelines to define the terms "original" or "granny"?

Hi guys/gals, I refer to what changes if any, other than maintainence and repairs you can make to an original car (my Jean) that don't spoil this concept. I love the "granny spec" but fear adding whitewalls, sunvisers, louvers etc not origanally fitted takes away from original. I have backed away from mods like carb/ex based on my interpretation of this. -Discuss :hmm: Dean

:fuzz: :lolcry: :lolcry: :lolcry:

:laff:
