hey i want to get my windows tinted on a ke55 coupe. does anyone work at a tinting place and is willing to do a cash job? I'm after the good shiz tint, nice and dark and wont fade, but legal too. pm me if you need some extra chrissy cash.

lookin good! keeping the round lights??

nothing wrong with ca's. they pull hard

heres sum quik shots of the carpet. i need to sort out my seats. bringing my car down man!

heres a quik update, and a bit of jealousy spreading. got this to my house for $86 :P:D this is the only thing wrong with it.

lol look what i said less than a month ago ok update. i got my carpet and stuck it in. got a centre console from the wreckers little while bak and thats in too. gave it a clean and dam it looks good!! i was waiting for my gf to pass it to me cos she was cleaning it, she handed it over and what a surprise!! looks increidble. nothing much else has changed with this except i stuck a crud cd player in so i could listen to fm radio. got the rubbers for the windows so its waterproof. replaced the bak seats which where pretty gross. and lots of little things like better batt terminals, bigger ground leads etc. ill get photos soon. little things make such a massive difference!!!

What do you mean you people??

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone is willing to get me a left hand side mirror for a ke55. i could send you a right side one if thats how you wanna do it. or i can pay cash. thanks from aus. :lolcry:

uhhhhhh......thats a bit racist.

thats interesting. pics of the rash

are they famous or anything itneresting?

when you wanna offload them shoot me a pm :y:

I'm down for a calendar. ill pay you on moday when i pik up the window thing.....do i have to pay postage?

awesome wheels!!!! where did you acquire them? and will they fit a 55?

wow that looks nice. what does it look like fitted??

just checked there site out. its $5 cheaper than the ebay guys. has different types of carpet to choose from, but has less colours. plus side tho you can order the underfelt. not go to the wreckers like me and get it out of a scummy old one.

lol ive found a rear bar only. yeh if i can pick some up. i hate the old round ones, i wish they were just the same as sedan lights! man stuff that! i got my opens a few months back. i was driving a v8 at 18. ahh the good old days, fuel 98c/litre. yeh i guess ill have to look into it more. i don't really have facts just opinions. CA is a bit smaller tho so might be easier to get in. been in a nice sr20 and a nice ca18, sr20 engine blew up and the ca18 turbo blew up. ive heard the ideal would be ca head on sr20 with the t28 ball bearign turbo. but once again, only opinions. oh and my brothers sedan looks awesome with the round lights and grill!!

wanna get it all orignal with wrap around bumpers, a nice set of old school mags, gunmetal, glossy black or burnt yellow paint. and most likely a ca18det. cos from what ive heard they rev harder than sr20s, there cheaper, made better and run weekly without needing a rebuild. i used to want a 180 but never found a decent one for cheap enough. i found one today with a blown engine for 1500. dammit lol. my first priority is getting all the trimmings and interior nice. then the rust taken care of. it doesnt look like it, but theres quite a bit of rust underneath the sides

Ive been looking for a ke55 coupe for quite a while now. And finally I got one!!! I saw someone ask JIP 01 what his plans for it where, and he wasnt too sure what his plans where for it. So i jumped in ( when i saw it a months later after it was posted ) and grabbed it ( The full story ) I plan on getting it schmick so heres the start of the journey!!!!! this is after i put the square lights in. you can see the left light ( on right of pic) looks a lil crooked. doh i got a wheel for it, nice and fat. first thing ive done to a car where nothing has gone wrong!! i even got the stock wheel off with no problems. its nice and wide so i can see my speedo, but kinda obscures the clock. ohh yeah, could hold that all day. ive already ordered some carpet off ebay. i got the charcoal colour but wish i got graphite. i got outvoted by the people whose opinion i asked this is how it came from jip. its a bit rough in places and apparently was used in backyard rallies. pretty good nic considering that!! this is my twins. the sedan is now my brothers. I'm glad the brothers didnt get split up. this is before the eye transplant. i was gonna polish it today but dam it was hot. ill have to wake up early tomorrow.

bleeding brake fluid is one of the first things i learnt to do, its easy as. i don't have the brain power to write a step by step now but I'm sure someone will help or you can google for it. You will need someone to help you tho, its a 2 man job.

dang. that woulda been useful. thanks redwarf

done! except, the first light i did is sort of off centre. the rivets don't hold it tight enough and the brackets droop down. it annoys me, ill probly have to try and rip the rivets out and do it again with bigger ones

any other complications gonna arise? is it tricky to rivet?

with your experience whats the best way to snap the welds off? thin screwdriver and wiggle??

sounds riveting.....bad joke couldnt resist. how did you line up the mounts? just by estimation?
