10ROLLA

Well today my dad, my brother and i all put in money to get a welder as we all have porject of our own, anyway i needed some metal to weld back into the spots that I'm gonna fix on the ke10 so i got a lil bored this arvo and thought, "i have a bush basher ke55 full of metal" so i went and got the angle grinder and took off the roof as it was a rust section of metal, now i just need to see how the ke55 goes without a roof. I'm thinkin on making it look sexy buy winding down tthe window and takin out the metal around the window but ill leave that to another boring moment, anyway here are some pics of my artwork! Cheers Myles!

yeah mate I'm goin, i wont be in a corolla tho, so i hope to see some more members there! cheers Myles!

i been in a few fast cars, my brothers old SR20DET powered gemini wagon, his mates 12A turbo RX3 built by pac performance! and also a fairly modified S15 on the highway, the s15 has about 290hp and the rx3 had a fair bit more but I'm not quite sure.

ok all just a lil update on the interior, is takin WAY WAY longer then expected but its better then nothing! we have only got the bottom of the driver side seat complete! any way here are some pics of the progess. first we glued vynil to a thin layer of foam! then glued new foam onto the seat and sculptured it! (only got pics of the bottom half but u get the idea) then sowed the original pin stripe "look" into the vynil and foam to go in the middle of the seat! then sowed the lil side flaps on then came along the pipeing and the front aprone/edge of the seat, (in this pic it wasnt complete) then i vyniled a lil interior insert i made, it sits under the back windscreen and ontop of the parcel shelf still gonna be workin on the interior tonight and maybe tomoro! is takin for ages but i would rather a job that looks great and took a while, then a job that is dodgie and looks like sh*t. Cheers Myles!

yeah mate, safety first! i think i will put mine in the parcel shelf! thanks for all the help greatly appreciated! cheers Myles!

ok cool cus like i said i got ones on the wheel arch and the tailshaft tunnel and yeah they have the plates on them, so i can choose any hole and put a plate behind it the same as the rest and should be fine! thanks for that mate greatly appreciated! Cheers Myles!

ok thanks for your help mate Cheers myles!

yeah i have and there r a few holes in there but the metal is really thin and there r no threads for bolts! thats y i am a bit lost

hey guys, bit of a dumb question but I'm havin trouble locating the seat belt holes for the rear seat, i have some in the wheel arch and on the tailshaft tunnel but where is the hole for the belt that goes over your shoulder? in mentioning this, did they even have seat belts for the back in the sixties and if not is there anyway i can get it registered without them? Cheers Myles!

Hey guys got some good news! when i receaved the email about the Bathurst it showed me my log in name so i remembered my password and logged into it so this will be my normal account! sorry to screw you all around with it! anyway the other account wont be put to waste my brother will take ova it and if i can talk him around, he may just post up a thread about his 1974 ke20. About the KE10, Me and my brother have been workin on the interior, have got all the cut outs done and made our own hood lining and other pieces that are gonnna make it look shmic! to hard to explain everything but this is stage one for re-triming the interior! here are some pics. Head lining Few bits! had to make the arm rests in the back our selves as the original layouts were terrible, just gotta do one last thing on them and they r finished! there r a few more i may post a lil later! here are some video's of the car when i first got it and took it for a lil spin in my back yard! oh and the flame thrower. Flame Thrower! Back yard skid Cheers Myles!

ok, i no i havent updated in a long time! but havent had much to show as i have just been cuttin mdf for the doors, boot and parcel shelf! and have just been sanding surface rust! but today i pulled out the motor! so now my rolla has no heart :hmm: . now I'm goin to be sprayin the engine bay and puttin the new 4k in which has syncro! hahaha yes!!! the rolla sits much higher in the front now with no heart even tho the 4k was so light! me and my brother should be retrimming the interior some time between now and the end of the xmas holidays and about the rust, our mate that is gonna do it got held up doin a datsun 1600 but should come to cut out the rust soon! here are some pics! sorry i havent got much but like i said most my work has been on the interior pieces! cheers Myles!

HAHAHA yeah tell me about it, nearly fainted when i heard her say "ill help" when i told her i was goin to work on the car! so i gave her an easy job and she recons she enjoyed it! but i didnt get any pics sorry!

um the things in the last pic are the inner guards I'm talkin about the bits that are bolted on just infront of ya door in ya guards! stops the water and dirt and stuff go into the door hinge! anyway this arvo i cut out one door trim and parcel shelf out of mdf, the parcel shelf fits "like a Glove" and the door trim bit is yet to be completed havent coverd them yet as i said will be a lil while befor i do! still undisided on what colour should do any suggestions? thats all for today havent got pics as of yet will have by end of week! Thanks Myles! P.S. my girlfriend wants me to tell u on the picture where the wheel and strut and stuff are! she was the one who scrapt off all the old tar that was flakin off!

tenyeargarantee, i got the lights off the guy i bought it off, donno how he got his hands on em i think through toyota but he said was the last ones made by toyota so i thought i would have a brag! and about the hilux diff i must have to agree! the hilux diff was just an idea! my new idea is to fit an old skyline diff in! that wouldnt way it down to bad don't think! anyway on the weekend i pulled everything off the front, like the guards, front bumber and things like that, i wire brushed the the inner guards (think thats what they r called) and painted em black! this avo i measured up new door trims and parcel shelf to be cut out tomoro arvo! when i do the interior (which will be soon hopefully) i will carpet and vynl it all make it look overrated anyway here is a pictures update! thanks for all the comments, Myles!

i forgot to mention one thing.... the guy that owned it befor me welded the diff together cus it was broken so its got a lock diff.........does awesome skids but its not street legal so if any1 has a spare diff in good condition would be great otherwise I'm thinkin of gettin a hilux diff? thanks myles!

more!

more!

Now this is what i looks like now! stripped!

this is proof of the last set of tail light lenses made by toyota still in bubble wrap!
