10ROLLA

anyone want it? i have no use for it?

i found a manifold in my ke10 spare parts and I'm unsure what it is to suit? webber carb manifold or something?

i no :D yeah seems like volksies have really taken off in the past year or 2... but its really the early 60's through to the early 50's that really tickle my interest, had the 56 for a while just rusting away so i decided to do something with it... i will get the rolla on the road one day... when is a diferent story.... sorry champ those lense r mine.... :D

lol touché if u actually red into vws u might be amazed with some of the work thats goes into them to look like the one i put up... not bagged either... but each to there own... mini-trucks on the other hand... yeah i could agree, i went through a phase.... :D surely u have have other tastes then corollas? please don't tell me citrozens.

is that a void between your legs :D i got a biuld thread on another site but u gotta be a member to veiw it and i think r few people on here r members aswell.... i might put one up one rainy day tho ;D

holy crap its been 2 years since ive been on rollaclub. well a lil update.. in the past 2 years... i have pushed the ke10 into the container and havent touched it since... but on a better note i have since learnt how to weld and panelbeat properly. the reason for the ke10 being shoved in the container is i ended up with a hilux for my first driving car... which i slammed, shaved and painted it then when i havent been working on that i have been building a 1956 vw beetle with fully adjustable suspension. i have built all the adjustable suspension and am onto fixing the rust which there is ALOT of... i am replacing the hole bottom 8inches of the car :) but I'm really enjoying it anyway this is an idea of what i want it to look like... anyway enough of the past few years... my love for early rollas is still there and strong but my motivation isnt atm... once i have finished the beetle... (hopefully sometime this year) i plan on gettin the ke10 out of the container... cutting out all the dodgey repairs i did on it when i was 15 and fixing it all again to a better standard. will be back when i get onto it :)

Well me and a few mates were bit bored yesterday and decided to go 4x4ing all over brisbane in all our 4b's... anyway the day was great and at our last location we were at Mt Cotton in the middle of the bush track climbing a hill and i see the rusty metal object in the bushes and as an owner of a 67 ke10 i know the body shape and so on... anyway i see this rusting thing and noticed it was a ke10 so i hit the brakes and had a look. i got some pics on my phone but it looked like it has been burnt down... still had the diff in it.... front end was buggered... fuel tank and half a rear bumper was still ok but nothin worth taking... hehe also that day i saw a few other wrecks obviously been stolen and dumped and burnt.... but spoted a ke70 that had some old rims on it... but burnt to buggery... anyway here are some of the pics... i also notice this would have been a ke11 as it had the vents in the rear pillar but were slowly rusting away this is a picture of what i first saw and notice it was a old rolla :lol: might i say it the 3 ke10 i have seen in person other then my own :dance: the front end messed up. the front was pretty messy up... tangled up with the bumper and so on... the under body how it sits today.... :yes: poor old thing Myles.

nice... thats neat mate.... nice pickup

ok well i have been so completely slack.... i have done all this work.... to get it in epoxy primer and now it just sits in my shed.... i have done some bogging but still have soooo much more to go befor i am even close.... i swear i wipe on bog then i sand it.... then i have sanded the bog to low so i gotta put on more.... wait for that to dry.... then sand that,.... still to low.... put more on wait for it to dry.... so its really disheartening and i really need motivation.. and its so much easier just to go work on my hilux and tidy that up a bit each day..... what do u all do to get your cars done so fast..... and how do u keep motivated? i really want to be at painting stage but never find the time nor motivation to complete it..... so I'm hoping that me writing this willl make me pull my finger out and actually get something done.... Myles.

omg.... s7's r the sex..... *drooling*

hahaha u did a good job on the second ke30 mate hahaha, shame to see it go that way tho..... good luck with the new rolla..... try keep it for a lil longer this time Myles.

My top three would be.... 1. Bad Boys 2 2. Grease (John Travolter & Olivia Newton) 3. Major Payne i know line by line for these three movies! and if it was my top 4 movies, my fourth fav would be Bra Boys Cheers Myles

Ok, well i havent updated in a while but here is the run down. Well i have been chassing a bonnet since the day i got the car, me and my brother sourced out a few bonnets, then found a guy in sydney with a rust free, fairly straight bonnet. He also had 2 beautiful guards and both front and rear, rechromed reshaped bumpers. As my brother wanted a holiday he drove down there for me and got them. (a quick pic of them) Once i got all the parts i started paint strippering the whole car.... then got the orbital sander to the bare metal to scuff it up abit ready to be painted. Got it prepared for the epoxy primer (I'm the one on the right) Then got my old man to spray the car in epoxy primer, cause he has had some time on the gun spraying boats. next is to bog and fare it ready for the actuall undercoart and then get that ready for the top coat! Cheers Myles!

WOOOOOO!!! Stick that up ya clacker nsw!!!!!! wooooooo! Queenslander!! take it out!

GO QLD!!!! i have been watchin the last 25 years of origin on that dvd of there's, i say bring back the biff! some1 on the blues should call cattledog again so us QUEENSLANDERS can have a reason to kick your ass's.........AGIAN hehehe hope its a bloody good game, i hang out for state origin each and every year!

spotted a bright yellow ke35 at surfers paradise on sunday, i had the music up and only got a short glimps but i think it had chrome rim's? neone no who it might be? Cheers Myles!

cheers mate, so u recommend it ey, yeah well if u say it defenly makes a difference i might have to do the same then. thanks mate Myles!

hey mate I'm soon to be paint stripping my car aswell, the fella at my local paint place, told me to tape about an inch from the edge, holes or diffucult places where the stripper could stay or not get removed properly, you understand?. then stripper all around where u have taped up. then pull off all the tape and sand what the tape has been covering down to bare metal as this will stop the the paint stripper from stayin in a difficult place to get at and/or eating into your next coat of paint! hope this helps, this is just what the guy told me! Cheers Myles

kickn5k how did the swaybar go? have been following this thread and i am keen to no if it made a big difference, thinkin i should put one on my ke10. Cheers Myles!

yeah looks like it, does it have heaps of chromes work on the front like grill and the headlight surrounds etc looked neat as!

yeah AE70, I'm with u, QUEENSLAND!!! woo woo, pitty we r loosing atm moment, but hopefully we do the qld tradition and come back after half time!

infinity is ok, pretty trippy, but to get to the next room u gotta find the door, if u find each door to thenext room pretty quick its a waste of money! but that was just my experience. Cheers Myles

Comin together nice man! good read too, keep up the good work and ill look forward to seeing the end result Cheers Myles!

Ok havent updated in a while, but have completed 97% of the rust on the car, only one more spot and the rust is done wooo.... i have been at MPA at birkdale lookin at paint colours! been there twice and both times been there for ova an hour and a half choosing what colours i liked, i have narrowed it down to 3 colours, Red Blue or Yellow, i have been leaning towards a basic red with a pearlesant gloss sprayed ova the top....... should look good, but still have a couple of months befor i choose the defanant top coat. A weekend in the next month the ke10 should be stripped back to bare metal and undercoated, then prep it and straighten the body, this was gonna be done a while back but i have been slack. here r a few pics of the rust repairs grinded back lookin a bit better then the picks befor hand! Cheers Myles! Still gotta do a lil more work on this guard but all the rust is gone! Cheers Myles!

That looks Hot! like the wheels to, i thought of goin yellow on my ke10 but have been leanin towards red, but u have deffenly made me thinks twice! keep up the good work mate! and Welcome to RollaClub!
