haha well the bog came from supercheap and I have used it before i so no ruffly what I'm doing.

Update: Took the rear bumper off and took out drivers side tail light out so that i could have easier access to the parts that need to be fixed, I will be starting to fix the body work on the weekend starting from the rear and slowly making my way to the front. Cheers John

I'm going to take a stab and say that they are the 15x7.0 superlites that he had on his KE70, I to would also like to know what you paid for them, because they look neat as on your rolla. Oh and BTW very nice car you have there and your ke70 is awesome aswell!

felix don't compare our cars, that way know one gets burned, they both have there good and bad points, but they are both better than MTB bikes

i have big plans i know, and eventually most of them will get done, but i think eveyone has big plans for their car so why shoul i be any different :( going to look at paint, a compressor and a dual action sander on the weeked so i can start sanding the rust affected areas back to bare metal

I'm thinking about trying to find a t-18 donor car(for engine gearbox and diff) if i can find one cheap enough, but if i can't which is more than likely i will have to explore other options, nothing is set in concrete at the moment.

I'm thinking about that, ive got to get it roadworthy and then i will decide what I'm going to do

Side shot: Front: Rear Light: Engine:

very sorry about that, it was a typo i ment 14" and t-18 diff because it is a t-series diff and it meens in the future once i have more money i can get an lsd for it, as i plan to keep this car as a daily for a fare wile, and maybe one day even upgrade to a 4age 20v and have it as a track car. I will just have to wait and see.

Hey as some of you would know i just bought Nick Z's Orange coupe. So I just thought i would start a thread so i can remember how she was when i started and what ive done to her. Ok well i bought the car for $300 and it NEEDS: New Rear Wheel Bearings, Surface rust removed from the body, Section of the spare tyre well cut out and a new piece welded in, New Front left Brake hose, 2 New re-caps for the front, Few minor rattles and noises to be fixed and then i will get it registered. i will also be changing all the fluids etc etc. Once that is over and done with i want to start modifying Her heres a list of things that i would like to do: Re-Trim the rear seats in black fabric, Front Reclinable Racing Seats from Just Jap, New door cards which will be trimed in black carpet, New parcel shelf trimed in black carpet, Rear Petrol Tank Cover trimmed in Black carpet, New Floor For the boot trimmed in black carpet, Momo Trek R steering wheel, Sparco Pedals JVC headunit, Jaycar 6" component speakers in fibreglass door pods, Jaycar 6.5" 2 way speakers for the rear, Jaycar Precision 12" sub, Jaycar 4x100 watt amp, Jaycar 1x500watt amp For the exterior I'm just going to give it a really good polish and try to get the paint to look the same best i can, And then ill just get some 14x6.5" bathurst globes very un original but they look good. RA60 Struts up front with king's low springs, Monroe Gas GT shockers front and rear, 7 or 8 leafs in the rear (to minimise tramp) 2" lowering blocks in the rear also I will then purchase either a 2tc or a 3tc, then it will get a cam regrind, better valve springs, weber 32/36 carby, 2.25" exhaust system with extractors, T50 gearbox, T18 diff with phantom grip device hehe thats a mouth full, if i can get all of that i will be very happy this is an old pic of the car, no longer has the chromies, will get new pictures tomorrow

You a are p-plater so you wont be doing more than 80km/h, we towed my nans mazda 323 back from hobart behinde my dads volvo (don't mouth me) it didnt use that much fuel, you have just got to keep and eye on the temp as it can creap up pretty quickly. also if your using a manual give the gearstick abit of a feel because it can also get hot. If you've got the time make a stop at Cambel Town or Ross and grab a drink or something this will give the car a chance to cool a little.

now irokin if you don't mind mate can you please clean up this thread?

yes mate it is, and if you hadnt noticed ive toned my posting down, and raven I'm not interest sorry mate i want 14's because I'm thinking of a brake upgrade

he said that i will have to ask my mum and dad, and i was saying that i will get wateva rims i feel like, i value peoples opinions just not my parents (on certain things) ive taken what everyone has said into account, i was just saying that i don't need my parents ok to get a set of rims and casey stop being a post whore, i no i am but honestly

such as? i don't want to spend alot nothing over $550 with tyres even that would be my absolute limit, i just want something that sets the car off nicely

Johnny B = Nick name John = Real Name Orange/Red KE35 coupe (stock) = Car

its my money ill by wateva rims i want with it, ive bought a ke35 coupe which needs abit of work but once ive got that done, ill be getting some globes or hotwires

yea the more work you put in with the sandpaper the better your results will be, i would also recomend using "autosol" polish is usually more expensive but it works really well, patience is the key and alot of elbow greece.....god damn i wish you could get it in a can (personal joke between casey and i)

thanks heaps nick :P yea thats mine (without the big bling bling rims)
