As for the Flares, they are from a KE2x and they have taken the better part of 4 months to get to a stage where i can take molds. The process is just labour intensive. First i had to cut and open the arch to fit the larger guards. Glassed it all up and bogged the cuts The ends had to be lengthened, for this i used some urethane foam cut to shape the guard and flare, epoxied in, bogged and shaped. A fair bit of time taken up fiddling around. All primed just have to sand and take some molds (hopefully next week) off of them to a make thicker, stronger set. See you all later

Well it's been a bloody long time but back again. A bit of an update, I've added some fibreglass, a Lip, Bobtail Wing and Flares. here's the process. The Lip and Bobtail was from an RA Celica. The Lip was the easiest to add, simple cut to shape and fit The wing on the otherhand took a while. I had to cut it to pieces and re-built it so the angles would match the boot The biggest problem was how to fabricate the ends. after shaping the front and back I taped down some packing wrap on the outside and glassed the inside. the ends turned out perfect after a bit of bog I had to extend the back so i used a similar approach. I taped packing wrap to the back of the boot, fitted the wing and glassed over it. The wing now is shaped to the the boot And that is that, both are sanded and ready for priming, hopefully next week

I'm doing something similar, I'm using an RA Celica Lip and Bobtail wing. The Lip was easy to fit, the bobtail on the other hand had to be cut and re-fabricated took me some time. The flares are from a KE2x corolla i had to open and stretch them, but now all fit perfectly. I'm hoping to take molds of the flares and make a heavier duty set.

Hi all, i bought a late 70's model Celica front lip, cut the tags off glassed on some bolts and fixed it to the original front dam. Very easy to attach and common to find and buy

Not as yet, Still tossing up whether to keep and work the 4K already in the old girl, or, upgrade to a newer engine. Your thoughts??

And here we go, My first car was a KE55 coupe and I've alway's like the shape of them. It took me about a year to find a decent one for a resonable price and here she is the body is near perfect, the young lady i bought it off of had a small accident damaging the left fender. The steering is a bit sloppy not too sure if the crash caused it, or old age. Anyway, nearly a year later, the door cards are done. the front below, the back are straight black The car is up and I'm reconditioning the steering and suspension. By the end of christmas the front will be finished. All New ball jounts, rubbers, bearings and lowered springs Then it will be onto either the diff and rear suspension, or Boot lining and interior. Depends what I feel like .

Name: Dallas O'Brien Car: KE55 Coupe Motor : 4k, 5 speed gear box Suspension & Brakes: Standard at moment but after Chrisy will be lowered Wheels & Tires: 13inch Jelly's, 185 on front & 205 on rear Interior: Standard at moment, door cards finished, nearly finished instrument cluster for centre colsole, I am going with Black and Dark Red design Body: Not too bad, very little rust Other: unfortunately a very slow project I know very little about the mechanical side of things, hence why it's taking a while, but building I'm fine. I'm hoping to have the interior mostly black with small inserts of dark red. The Body will probably not change much, colour will either be gloss black or an extremely dark metalic red (depends how much of a hole will be caused in the back pocket). Engine - probably try and convert to something with a bit more grunt 4age, 4agze?? Anyway, Hello.
